Will you buy the iPhone 5 on launch day?

I wonder if I do order of the day it's released how long it takes to get here

Those in the UK how did that work for the 4 last year?
 
I've been eligible for an upgrade for a few months and I will preorder if it's a nice upgrade. I am not into standing in line for hours so I'll do it from the comfort of my home.
 
Not sure how anybody could answer this question honestly before the device has even been announced/revealed.

Good point to be fair. The OP might as well ask people if they're going to buy the iPad 3/4 on launch day :p

We can answer based on our expectations and the rumours about the device :cool:

But in all honesty, you are correct. No one can tell you for sure if they will buy something before they know what it is (unless they have money to burn).
 
Maybe not day 1 this time, but I will be getting the 5 soon thereafter. Or maybe a reduced cost 4 if I don't think I want the 5. But either way my 3GS will be replaced by a 4 or 5.
 
I'm not due for a full upgrade until late nov. I may as well wait, why pay $100 bucks to have it a month or so earlier... but we'll see once I actually know what it'll look like.

I understand your point and I would do the same thing, but if the iPhone 5 is going to be what I hope it is, then the one month wait would kill me! So glad my contract is up in about two weeks.
 
I will pre-order it as soon as I can on their site. If pre-orders aren't available I will buy one/order one from them as soon as they can be bought.

I don't mind if I have to wait to get one direct from apple (over going into local phone stores every day and asking if they have any in).
 
Not a chance. I learned my lesson with the iP4, too many launch issues. I'll let Apple iron out any bugs then I'll bite.:rolleyes:

Well, those of us who said we never buy a new product on day 1 can certainly answer honestly. But then I went and jinxed myself, because my current phone is having issues and I might have to buy sooner than I planned... :p
 
I'll be buying 70 of them. We have 3GSs at work which have been due for an upgrade for a month, and I've been holding out for the new model rather than go for the 4
 
I got a rule were I get to buy every second iPhone release. So now I've had 2G, and now 3GS and getting the 5. My wife gets her iPhone the other year were i dont get one. So she got an iPhone 4 now :)

And YES, I will pre-order from apple.no :)
 
The back of my iPhone 3GS is starting to crack open (don't ask), so I will probably be buying an iPhone 5 as soon as they're on sale.
