You've got a hell of a lot more people competing for stock though, and it will be spread more thinly across a wider range of outlets. More stock doesn't mean it'll be easier to get your hands on.
I don't know, but gold no and from the way the rep was talking they don't have much at all, but it was mainly about the lack of gold stock
That's disconcerting...
So what you're sitting outside of the Perth City Apple Store right now and there's an Apple Rep talking to you at 12:30am? Wowza.
Australia also has one of the highest up takes of smartphones in the world by proportion of population. Apple also can sell it for a higher price here and they can still sell it. Generally on previous launches based on the forum posts it was easier to get one here than in the US, so if that trend flows, you might want to line up

Yep, came out pretty much straight after the store went live, so I think they may have been waiting for that to give another option and it was also officially launch day. Says we can expect an update at 3am (2 hrs and a bit away)
Alright cheers. Sorry for all the questions :S
Just quickly, iPhone 5S / C sales start 9am our time; right? Thanks mate.
Seeing as my order for a Gold 64gb went through at 2:03am, will that mean mine will get shipped before someone who ordered their phone at say 8:30am?
Very good point.. But also a lot more stock. either way it will be a crap shoot like always. and worse then last year.
I think the Australian experience suggests US delivery at best will be 3-5 at the outset. Clearly whatever phones produced to this point were intended for stores (Apple and carrier). So online orders will be fulfilled by phones being produced now. So naturally by the time it gets sent from Shenzen or wherever, it is going to be a while.
