I didn't get around to pre-ordering, so I got in line for the Ip5. I kind of had a good deal. I didn't want to hang out at a mall for an Apple store because it is a mob, running for the store after they open the mall doors. I also wanted to do an alternate upgrade with Verizon, so I picked a Verizon store near me. I parked my car near the entrance, got there VERY early and put my chair first in line then got in my car and stayed warm( Connecticut ) and used my 4G Ipad 3 to communicate with other people in line around the world. It was actually kind of fun. I wanted a 32 GB Black, and I got one of the only 2 the store received of that model. Would I do it again? Absolutely if I didn't get a launch day delivery date on a pre-order.
