AppleInsider is reporting that Apple's new Lightning to USB Cable, which sells for $19, has sold out within a half an hour of the iPhone 5 preorders lighting up on the company's online store.
While the $29 Lightning to 30-pin Adapter and the $39 Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (0.2 m) won't ship until next month, the cheaper Lightning to USB Cable has been mostly available since Wednesday's big announcement, but no more.
Meanwhile, The Next Web published a report earlier this morning claiming that Apple was including a free Lightning to 30-pin Adapter with each iPhone 5. Apple's online store even offered the option to buy an "additional" Lightning to 30-pin Adapter, but this appears to be in error.
"Following the publishing on this article, TNW reader Ryan Moores reached out to share clarification he received from one of Apple’s online sales representatives," the updated report reads. "According to the representative, it is 'an error' and it is 'being investigated at the moment.'"
Bummer, but at least we'll still get those swanky new EarPods as part of the package, right? Right?
