The wait is
over! iPhone5 : In stores now, Once again the odd cultural phenomenon of geeks camping in line for a
store can be seen in the world, because the last week unveiled iPhone 5 is
avalaible in stores this friday. Diehards who spent hours waiting in line were
being greeted with open doors at Apple stores and other retailers selling the
new iPhone.
The iPhone 5, which features a bigger screen, faster chip and a lighter
body, sold 2 million units in first-day orders, more than double a
record set by the previous model, Apple said. Since its 2007 debut, the
device has become Apple's top-selling product, accounting for about
two-thirds of profit.
