Good idea!
Wait, the Lightning to 30-pin Adapter is included in the box? I didn't know that ..
that a c/p from Apple.com so you know.

It's the power adaptor that you plug into the wall...not the 30 pin to lightning plug

Funny, the apple store doesn't work on Safari or Chrome for me, but Firefox works.

I pre-ordered my iPhone 4 from AT&T's site two years ago and it was a nightmare. I ended up sleeping at my desk and just waking up every 15 minutes to try again. Eventually got my preorder in at 7am....
Just tried AT&T and their site went down. Went to apple.com and preordered with no issues.
Back to bed I go!

Sucks that Verizon didn't offer the Applecare option. Guess I'll be visiting the Apple store at some point to get the protection plan.

Fastest CPU on the market. Fastest GPU on the market. First mobile screen with full sRGB colour gamut coverage. Having the best specified phone on the market yet again, is no small achievement these days.

I wonder why. Chrome still has that "we'll be back" message.
On iPad, the apple store didn't work in safari, but it worked in a 3rd party browser (grazing)
You have to buy AppleCare+ at the time of purchase. That was a change instituted with the new AppleCare+ for iOS devices.
Whatever phone number you put on that phone will lose the unlimited plan (most likely). That would be a crazy loophole. Although they mentioned nothing about that when I ordered it.
I give you a full one min before some one calls you out.
I dont agree or disagree with what you said 
My sister asked if I could stay up to order her one. It has been 40 minutes of me logging into AT&T and getting sent back to the homepage, then two minutes of ordering on Apples site.

Does everyone else have just the processing order e-mail if you used the Apple website store?
I'm hoping that doesn't mean I'm not in the first batch.
Also.....got one white 32GB Verizon iPhone coming.
I had to go from Unlimited Data to 5GB of data though......Take my extra $20 per month. Bastards.

Well, I tried to order but they still have my old address listed even though I changed that weeks ago. Sale lost.

Read again. It's the Lightning to USB. The standard charge and sync cable which just isn't dock connector now.
Must be on east cost time yeah?

I mean, I really was tempted by the Galaxy S3. But the notion that it still takes months for the "flagship" android phone to get the latest OS version just leaves me the desire to stick with Apple. They've done right by me.
The reason I keep going with iPhone is because I KNOW it will get rock solid software support for the life of my device. Which is two years for me. Every software upgrade, day one. I don't even have to wonder about this. It's a fact. And I really like that.
This preorder went pretty smooth. I just hope that I get it day one and not delayed. I preordered within the first hour, LMAO.
Exactly. And it doesn't match my credit card address, so the sale is lost.
You can do it right now if you want. Login, go to change plan, and it should be right there.Thanks, ordering it then.

wait till tomorrow and call the apple sales line. They fixed it for me the day after last year
Yeah this freaked me out too because I'll be at work and would hate to go all weekend without my phone but apparently we can call in and change the address.

Yea, I just have the processing email. But I mean...damn...I ordered within 19 minutes of the site going up. If that puts me in any batch other than the first I'll be shocked. I just assume their site is moving along on the backend and it'll come out alright.

It's not an opinion. It's a statement of fact. The iPhone 5 is the best specced phone that money can buy.

I really like the design of the new iPhone. The one thing that bothers me is that top and bottom on the back of the device still have that glossy glass. Why didn't they just make the whole back out of aluminum?
And this has probably been brought up, but why is it called the iPhone 5 when it's technically the 6th? If the 4S didn't count, then neither should the 3GS.

Woah, will I be able to perhaps ask them to ship it to one of their own stores?
Or maybe a hotel I'm staying at?

I microwave steaks.
So I wound up stealing a family member's iTunes account to stay within the 2 phones/person limit, since I didn't want anybody's cancelled for violating their stupid limit.
My phone's stuck in special Apple limbo. Apparently my place in line is 'reserved', but they couldn't get a response from AT&T in time for my line so I can't actually order it until their system comes back up.
The other three, which I ordered after, all verified just fine. AT&T hates me.

Finally got my confirmation email on a new contract, but it's showing an extra $20 charge for each of the two lines and a new monthly total of $190 instead of the $150 it says on the website and said all through purchasing. This will not work!
Edit: Looks like this may be for the partial month of September, makes sense.

Welp, did a 16GB one. apple.com was easy, I gave up trying on ATT.com
Oh, hello there only person that's not currently discussing the acquisition of the iPhone 5.
1. Aluminum clogs up all the radios. The glass is needed for teh radios.
2. The only reason 3G/3GS worked out was because of the silly 3GS moniker. Apple doesn't play by anyone's rules, not even their own.
Same here but I managed to log on on AT&T to change my billing info. Ordered two iPhones for my second address.
So I can order it and just activate the phone to the appropriate number right?
