When can I buy iPhone 5 at store?

So my birthday is getting really close(September 29) & I'm getting an iPhone 5. I heard they release it at 21st, but I wasn't sure if it's same for Verizon, too. When would it be available for purchase at store? Do they start selling them after when all the pre-ordered phones has shipped? Also, my contract with my old phone was expired about 4 or 5 months ago. Would I get any discount when I get a new phone?

My experience is that the apple store is the best place since they have the most supply. Yeah you would want to do a 2 year contract with a carrier imo so that they pick up most of the cost.

  • Where is the best place to buy an iPhone 4s: the Verizon store or the Apple store? I don't have an upgrade until January but am looking to buy an iPhone soon. I've been looking at the various sites and saw that there was a huge price difference between the Apple and Verizon stores. A rep at the Verizon store told me I wouldn't even have to change my existing plan, but just pay the $449 for the phone. Why would I buy an iPhone 4s from Verizon for $449.99 when they're sold on the Apple website for $99?
  • Verizon store or apple store for a new iphone 5? Verizon said I can get an Iphone 5 for "Using my upgrade + $199).Is it true that I can get an iphone 5 at the apple store for $199? If true, Why would I use an upgrade at verizon and pay the same amount for the phone?
  • Should I buy my iPhone at the Apple Store or the Verizon store? The plans and the phones themselves cost the exact same; the difference is the care plan. I just can't decide which one is best for me and I definitely want some sort of plan. Apple care is an upfront cost, but it is cheaper. I don't know how long either last, or which one takes care of the customers the best. Any opinions?
  • Is it better to buy the iphone from the apple store or from verzion store? I'm thinking to of getting the Iphone but i go on the apple website and they make it sound cheaper. Then i go to the verizon website and they make it sound more expensive. Which one should i go with?
