iPhone 5: Birmingham Bull Ring
Bit early this but what the heck. Reckon it will be Friday 21st September but whatever date it is, who's planning on queueing at the Birmingham Apple Store? Now i've only ever done a 5pm iPad launch so not sure how it gets for the iPhone morning launch.
I was thinking of getting there about 3:30am ish... how's the queues at that point? Cheers guys!

I was at the bullring for the 4 launch. Got there around 5:30 and was about 50th in line. Then I noticed a much shorter line for people who had reserved. Was about 7th then. Hopefuly they will do the same this time around. I'm thinking of getting it delivered though, but haven't fully made up my mind.

4am is a bit keen I reckon. Do you think you have no chance of getting one if you start queuing at 6am?

I guess so, if you type in iPhone 4s launch bullring into YouTube, the queue was huge at 5:30 lol went all the way round past the addidas shop lol and I'm sure there's going to be more interest in the phone this time around!

Get there about 5am and I'd say you'd be pretty guaranteed to get one. As someone else said, 2M preorders compared to 700k 4S, thats a LOT of people not queuing. Best of luck all you guys!

I'm sure they will have plenty of phones availible, if you get there before 7am I'd say you will get one, either way you are going to have to wait a long time!
I'm getting there for about 5am |
