and can be picked up at the nearest apple store the following day. The note of
the website of the company indicated that people should purchase “an iPhone
from the people who know it best.”
Prior to the
latest announcement, Apple was preparing for its reservation system for the
iPhone 5.
Apple had
indicated that the stocks of the iPhone 5 in the Apple stores are limited and
are available to customers until supplies last. Fans of the smartphone offering
of Apple lined up at stores all around the world last Friday, wanting to be
among the first people to purchase the latest model of the device.
Pre-orders
were accepted at 3AM Eastern last September 14. However, the units were easily
sold out. The waiting time for the delivery of the iPhone 5 was initially at
around one to two weeks before it was moved back further recently. Some
consumers, who were able to order the iPhone 5 is the morning of September 14,
received their units recently.

much-loved smartphone offering of the company, had been the subject of numerous
reports prior to its recent launch by Apple.
