Are You Going to Wait in Line for the iPhone 5?

Will you be outside an Apple Store waiting for the new smart phone?

People in New York have already started waiting in line just to get their hands on the iPhone 5. The Apple fanatics have been camped outside the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue eight days before Apple and other retailers will sell the iPhone 5, Fortune reports.

Pre-orders sold out in just one hour, with 23 iPhones purchased every second for a total of 2 million sold, according to CNET

Though there are several other retailers, like Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, Radioshack and BestBuy, that are selling the phone, the hype is definitely around the Apple stores themselves.
