What week was your iPhone 5 Manufactured

Interesting information but I suppose this only works if you ordered directly from Apple and not your provider.
Where the heck are you people seeing this information? When I go to the link, I only see the products I own, not anything I have on order. I did place my order for 2 iPhone 5 through Apple. My order wasn't placed until almost midnight on Friday EST. Almost 24 hours after pre launch, so maybe that's why?
Week 34!!
Starting to really feel excited now!! This yearly iPhone launch week makes me feel like i"m a kid again waiting for Christmas Morning. I love iPhone Launch week. (boy I really need to get a life)

Serial number: DN ...
Group1:
Group2:
Generation:
Production year: 2012
Production week: 34 (August)
Memory - number of slots:
Factory: DN (China, Chengdu - Foxconn)
I'm seeing people with weeks 36/37. Hopefully, there weren't any kinks during week 34 that were ironed out in the later weeks. (Knowing Apple, though, they probably started dry runs in July -- or even June -- and worked out the kinks at that time.)

Holy crap! So orders that are shipping for preorders were produced about weeks 30-40!!! So this phone has been in production for over half a year already!! That is crazy man.
So what you all want to bet the stock piles for opening day in the stores are going to be pretty good??

I would rather have a later week than an earlier one. Getting one of the first devices on a production line has a higher chance of failure.
No. The earliest was 32 which was only 5 weeks ago.

My thoughts exactly.

I would imagine they perfected the manufacturing process before they started to mass produce
