Woot! On to processing and changed my shipping address and the ship date is still the 21st. Having to be at work for 2am actually was a good thing.
So what other phone has done more? What other phone didn't follow this revision path? Where's the revolution?
The idea that a brand new, larger screen, a brand new, faster processor, twice as much memory, a totally new, absolutely improved data/power cord, new, faster wifi internals, an improved camera (building on top of one of the most beloved mobile cameras already around), compatibility with new, faster cellular data, etc., etc., etc., is somehow trivial, uninspiring, and not worth nothing is absolute rubbish. It sounds absurd, lol.

And really bad customer service. I wouldn't touch Three even if they offered me all that for £3 a month.
No we get a lighting usb cable and a wall adapter for the usb cable.

Just got my iphone 5 thru att arrives on 21st
plus a 30-pin adapter
Apple's iPhone 5 will arrive with a free Lightning to 30-pin adapter, after all
Is this story not accurate?
That was amazing! Thank you.
(Sadly though if anything has any type of negative view of Apple then you're not going to get happy responses though. No senses of humor about this kind of stuff.)

Holy shit, Orange prices are so God-damn expensive. Unlimited Internet only on £51/mth? Piss off. Dread to think what their 4G prices will be like.
Just called 3, switched from Orange, phone delivered on 21st. BOOM.

Oooh, does Canada get the AppleCare+ this year too?
I don't see it listed in the box for the pre-order... nobody here who pre-order earlier mentioned it. Maybe it's a UK thing?
Edit: The story is not accurate. Their source has an iupdate

Ignoring the cheesiness of it all, the beats, tune and riffs are kinda catchy after a bit.

Don´t think it´s actually negative - It´s just fun. At least I got the impression that the guys who made it are probably Apple fans themselves.
Yeah - really well made.

When did everyone start introducing these damn data caps? Networks are getting complacent. Every iPhone plan on all networks used to be unlimited.
Then they try and bone you Add Ons for essential stuff like Personal Hotspot. Fuck em.
If it were me and I wanted an iPhone 5 I'd use my head and hold off until Giffgaff get their nano sims.
Yeah, but at least Apple will ship it right to you and you're guaranteed to have it at launch if you're in the first wave.
Works for me though, I'm always using other lines on my account to upgrade so I prefer to go in and talk to a person anyways, and last year I was roughly 150 in line and got it day one, so it bodes well for this year
Don't really understand why anyone would pick anything except the cheapest o2 contract, everything else costs more in the long run for the same minutes/texts/data.
I guess to save on the up front price? But if you are gonna drop >£900 on a phone over 2 years surely you can afford the ~80 quid higher upfront price?

are u sure?
Also O2 have no sign of the 12 month contract they offered on the 4S.
Day 1 delivery, yeah. It says 2 weeks for me on every model.
Now I have to decide if I'm going to wait in line again, or just wait.

BUT BUT BUT... it kinda looks the same if you blur your eyes a little, so none of that actually matters.. something something "catching up to Android" something something.

because O2 have a pitiful data cap and charge extra for stuff like Personal Hotspot.
Blurring your eyes is only required to compare with samsung galaxies, not different iterations of the iPhone.
It seems that way.
Not sure if they could not make enough or if the demand went up.
I ordered at 7:30ish EST and it said shipping in 2 weeks. Now I have to decide whether or not life is still worth living. First the WiiU price and now potentially having to wait a whole week for a new iPhone?
edit: i should specify that I ordered the 32BG black model. Maybe you can still get the other versions at launch.

So walmart is also taking taking pre orders but it looks like it's 16gb only
Agreed, it's going to opposite way from what I expected.
As broadband got fast, it got cheaper and caps started to disappear.
As mobiles get fast, it's got more expensive and caps are getting smaller!
Makes no sense!

Anyway, I've decided what I'm going to do network wise. I'll jump on board with Three on their cheap plan. I'll stick with that till I see what Giffgaff are doing. I'll then switch to Giffgaff if they're better or just port my number over to Three if I'm happy with them.
Seems to be US also, not just UK. I guess that's nice of them.
Let me rephrase that, anything that could be perceived as negative.

Will they deliver on 9/21? I'm considering canceling my Apple Store order and ordering with them for a discount.

Glad I got up at 2am and got mine. I was debating it, but decided I might as well.
I'd be curious to know how many people are on the even year upgrade vs. the odd year. I'd guess more on even considering how many jumped on the 4 when it came out.
This is the second year that I've gotten an email about apple not being able to charge my visa, but I don't carry a balance, the card is saved, and I have used it since then online and through the app without issue.
At least they seem to keep your place in line while you update it..

A report earlier this year claimed it was definitely the even models, citing that statistic as reason for a big sales forecast.
