I plan to order the iPhone 5s online from the Apple Store. I was
able to pre-order the iPhone 4S from there, and had it the first
day they were available. However, last year when I tried to
pre-order the iPhone 5, doing so at five o'clock in the morning
Eastern Standard Time, I had already missed the window to get one
of the first ones delivered, so I just decided I didn't need the
5 all that bad after all. Although I'm now eligible for the full
upgrade price from AT&T, something I wasn't able to say when I
was trying to be one of the first to get the 5 last year, I'm
wondering if Apple are indeed going to offer unlocked 5s phones
to be purchased on the first day one is able to buy? For, in the
past, here in the United States, we've had to wait a few weeks
unless we've bought a carrier specific phone. But, in checking
the Apple Store now, it looks as if folks are able to pre-order
an unlocked 5c, so I'm wondering if the same will hold true for
purchasing a 5s on Friday? Oh, when I selected the unlocked 5c
just to see what it would tell me, I was told it would be
available to ship by September 25. I was too afraid to play
around to get a shipping date for the 5c if I were to do the
upgrade, as I didn't want to take a chance on making that my
upgrade phone by mistake. Oh, what the heck, as I figure they
would want my credit card and all, or at least my password,
before doing an upgrade. So, I went ahead and entered my zip
code and last four of my ssn, and they told me the 5c delivers on
September 20. Of course, I then canceled out of there, as I want
the 5s.

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.
