Hi Richard,
It only has to do with money in the sense that what Apple wants is the attention of the press which they get if there are 2-hour line-ups at their stores. In turn this might drive up the stock price.

I know it has to have something to do with money, everything does, but I don't get it.

There is noway in the world, I'd go to one of the stores that first weekend. I have a strong dislike for crazy crowds. Lol!

It always seems that Apple ships a fairly small number of new phones to be available on the first day!

We did the same last year for the 5, and all went smoothly. This year, we are signing up for the new edge program verizon has which allows a device upgrade as soon as 6 months or your other device is half paid off. Yes, you are buying your device at full price, but over 24 months. If you want more info, please contact verizon, as I am not overly familiar with the program. I will never have to worry about missing out on the latest iPhone release again now that I will be on the edge program. Phillip Tracy -----Original Message----- From: Raul A. Gallegos Sent: Monday, September 16, 2013 7:43 AM To: ViPhone List Subject: where will you purchase the iPhone 5s Hi all. Just curious about what different people will do when it comes time to purchasing the iPhone 5s. Oh, and before I go on, just a point to note, the s in the name 5s is lower-case because if it's a capital S it looks too much like the number 5 visually, so Apple made it a small s on purpose. So, the correct way of writing it is iPhone 5s. Anyway, since you cannot pre-order the 5s, will you go to your local phone carrier store, or to the Apple store? I'm just curious as to whether people will go this Friday and wait long lines like Black Friday in the US, or if they will wait a few days until the lines get less. I'm pretty excited myself because this will be my first time getting a new phone the day it comes out. In the past I've gotten it when it was an afterthought, or in the case of the 4s, when it had been out for about 4 months already. usually I wait in case there are initial problems found with the first batch of hardware, but this time around I'm diving in with my eyes closed as the saying goes. Although all members are welcome to respond, I'm hoping that only people who are getting the 5s will respond to this thread since I'm not asking about whether it's a good idea, or if the 4s is better, or if we should stay with what we have. This is because there are other viphone threads which have already covered this. Cheers. -- Raul A. Gallegos Soft kitty, Warm kitty, Little ball of fur.
