NPR's business news starts with: somebody restock the shelves.
Apple says it sold more than 5 million of its new iPhone 5s over the weekend. The company says it has now run out of its initial stock. On its debut weekend, the iPhone 5 sold better than the last version of the iPhone.

This comes amid a labor dispute that has temporarily closed a Foxconn assembly plant in northern China. Foxconn produces Apple products. It is unclear if that labor disputes will disrupt Apple's supply chain. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
