I got the email this morning for he pre-buy, I went thru up the we're I needed to hit he green button to check out!!! Someome talk me down

Not sure I can make it thru the day

Chainsaw13 · 09-14-2012, 07:19 AM

I got a similar email Dennis. Went to the site to just see what it would really cost me. The additional $$$ every month for "4G LTE" data was the deal breaker.

kelmac07 · 09-14-2012, 07:26 AM

When did the data plan "fee" increase from $ 29.95 per month to $ 40??? WTF??

Thru at&t mine stayed the same at $30, only cost is just phone

Dennis if you had Verizon you would get a huge disscount!!! The wives get a nice disscount via the hospital! I think we pay $10-$15 bucks for unlimited...

MurphysLaw · 09-14-2012, 12:45 PM

Pre-ordered this morning, now for the long wait for a box to come from overseas...somehow this feels very familiar

CigarNut · 09-14-2012, 02:23 PM

I just heard on the news that the preorders directly from Apple and AT&T starting at Midnight exhausted the initial supply of iPhone's by 12:30 am. Those of us that after that time will have a slightly (TBD) longer wait....

Apple sold out pretty quickly. There shipping estimate went from next friday to "two weeks" if you tried to pre-order after around 1:00am PST. The carriers faired a little bit better. Verizon orders as of around 6:00 or 7:00am this morning were still showing ship dates by next friday. Who knows if that was just an error by Verizon, but it appears that the carriers received less traffic of preorders.

By this point in the day, I'd think they are all gone. If you want one on launch day it may be best to wait at the store and not preorder online.

Not sure about the US stores, but the Canadian AppleStores will only be selling the iPhone 5 to customers activating a new or renewed 3yr contract (our default carrier contract length is a year longer than in the US).

AT&T. I lost my unlimited plan when I got my iPhone 4. Screw up with the order, etc. when I went to their site today and did the preorder, it was puttingme in a new data plan.

I was more curious then serious. I have too many devices right now with the old style charger to spend the coin to buy multiple adapters.

Taki · 09-14-2012, 07:34 PM

Mine will be here on the 28th of this month or earlier

Yup Yup.

Mine will be shipped the 22nd and get to me by the 26th-28th.

longknocker · 09-14-2012, 09:11 PM

Just Ordered Mine. Didn't Look At Expected Ship Date. It Will Be Here When It Gets Here.

Sauer Grapes · 09-14-2012, 09:40 PM

I ordered the 32GB version for the wife and me. I was planning on getting a white before they came out, but the black looks slicker on the 5 IMO.

Those looking at selling your old ones, you will do much better on craigslist. The only reason to use Gazelle or similar is if you don't want to spend the time to sell it yourself.

Also, if you are on AT&T, give customer service a call and it is very likely they will factory unlock your iPhone 4 (or even 4s if you got the 5).

jjmitchem · 09-15-2012, 12:53 AM

Wife just ordered hers today, I'm due for my upgrade in February but with a deployment most likely to happen next summer I may wait.

Will be looking into selling her 4 on as soon as her 5 comes in

If you're looking for a quick sell, some guys on here are looking for either 4 or 4s. Some have money to trade, some have cigars.

Confirmed iPhone 5 has 1 GB of ram.

09-16-2012, 08:31 AM

I actually set my alarm for 2:00am (12:00am Cupertino time) to pre-order. For it done, delivery the 21st, went back to bed. I'm the Apple junkie they love. Even if the iPhone 5 was pitched as slower, bigger, worse, I'd HAVE to have it.
