This Friday! Yezzir!
I want to preorder mine today but can’t place my preorder as the demand is overwhelming .
It will be interesting to see what if any sells figures Apple releases on Monday for the new 5C and 5S iPhones.
Don’t care. Show me the massive lines on the news. We will get the sales information at the next quarterly/end off fiscal year report. If the NSA can’t read my files than neither can the government of China. This and the gold color will make the iPhone 5S a number one high end selling smart phone in China. Leave the break even cheap crap to the others in China and elsewhere.
Ordering two 64 GB 5S iPhones at 12:01 AM Friday. one space grey and one gold. My guess is they will be sold out before 12:30.
Ha! I get to order mine at 11:01 PM Thursday night. I’m in Alaska. Never mind that its the same time due to time zones, LOL, 😆.
9:01 pm over here in the islands…here’s hoping we can complete our orders with the Apple store servers.
According to T-Mobile, they’re listing the iPhone 5C as a top seller on their website.
You’re late to the table with that one.
The only thing I wish is that 128 gb was available. I will be upgrading from my 2 year old 4S 64 gb and it would be nice to have an increase in capacity.
I will wai for the demand to die down a bit. Don’t want to have to wait in line if at all possible.
I can’t wait to get my new iPhone 5c. The colors are pretty cool especially with the cases.
