Apple store iphone 5 in stock?

My friend told me that when he went to an apple store, they didn't have any iphone 5 in stock. They told him that he needed to order the iphone and wait for 3-4 weeks.So, I was just wondering if this is true cuz I wanna get the iphone 5 this saturday and I can't wait anymore since I've been waiting for almost 2 months waiting for my contract to end.

They aren't in stock in any Apple stores. You do have to order an iPhone and wait three to four weeks. HOWEVER, if you're patient, there's a way to cheat the system:

Put an iPhone 5 in your cart (color, storage, service provider chosen). You'll see that there are two options. Ship or pick up. Pick up is grayed out. If you check your computer frantically, pick up will become a selectable option. Quickly click on it, input your zip code. Hopefully they'll be one in stock in a store near you. It's really tricky to get one this way, but if you check your computer a lot and have a bit of luck, you can get one in less than twenty four hours using this method. A few of my friends did this, though some of them drove quite far to a store that actually allowed them to reserve one.

Karyne Levy of CNET also got his iPhone 5 this way. Here's a article about it: http://howto.cnet.com/...-24-hours/

The best way is just to order one and wait. But if you're really impatient, you can try this method, but it will probably take you quite a few tries (meaning quite a few days).

I was really impatient too, but I ordered mine the normal way and I've stuck it out for almost a month since my contract upgrade (AHH). My iPhone 5 is getting here next Wednesday! Hurray!
