iPhone 5S Order - Not Pre-order? What?

[-Reaper-]

As you can see: http://store.apple.com/us/buy-iphone/iphone5c (Pre-order iPhone 5c beginning September 13.) And then for the iPhone 5S: http://store.apple.com/us/buy-iphone/iphone5s (Order iPhone5S from September 20.

Wut? You can pre order the C but not the S? What's going on here? Massive stock of iPhone5S or fight to the death for one at release day morning?

(Same release day to or?)

Holy cow. I guess those people already in line in NY are smart to do so... LOL. Looks like I am camping this year. First time since 2007!

This is absurd. I know I can't miss work next Friday, so I guess I'm screwed out of getting a 5S for literally months then because there will be backorders.

Disgusting.

What I'm hoping for is when they say Order on Sept. 20th is meaning at midnight we can order them online and have delivery for the release day? Or have to order at the store or wait in line? Oh god lol

How can you possibly order it and have it delivered the same day?
Unless you can do in-store pickup.

Either way, this is BS.

Seems like i'll have to use the preorder at my carrier.....i was planning to buy the phone directly from Apple and get a contract separately...

And when orders go live on the 20th, which is a FRIDAY.....you won't get it until Monday i think -.-

Hm.

I don't understand this.

I'd like an explanation on what "order" means regarding the 5S.

Apple is doing this to create media hype. They want the world to see long lines in front of stores again.
