Hello,

I was reading an article that made it sound like you could order the 5s early friday morning for pick-up later at the Apple Store. Have any of you heard this? It sounds unlikely, but I wanted to make sure. Thank you.
 
Unlikely. There's been no mention of that on any of the tech sites that cover Apple. At this point, that'd be a "breaking news" story ... if it was true.
 
There was an article that said that the Apple Store App was being updated in some countries to allow for iPhone 5S in-store reservations.
Make your reservation with the app and then show up at the store to complete the purchase.
Maybe that's what you saw?
 
This is possible in China. But if you left now, you would be cutting it close to release time. Better off getting it online for delivery a few days later. Unless you win a contest for having it first then I would suggest getting to an Apple store at 3am.

This is only in China and Hong Kong.

Everywhere else you need to either stand in line or order on the 20th for delivery.
