It’s taken a couple of months, but it looks like Apple (AAPL) fans can expect to start finding the iPhone 5 in stock when they go to Apple stores. Barrons reports that Citi over the past week “conducted checks of 50 randomly selected (aside from flagship) Apple locations after Cyber Monday, and found ‘increased availability of iPhone 5, limited availability of iPad mini, and wide availability of iPad 4.’ ” Limited availability for the iPad mini isn’t much of a surprise because it has apparently been causing Apple supply chain headaches for a while now. But it’s certainly welcome news that the iPhone 5’s supply has started to stabilize since its availability has been somewhat sporadic ever since its launch back in September.
