Apple has confirmed that pre-orders of the iPhone 5 will begin at 12:01AM Pacific/3:01 AM Eastern tomorrow, September 14. Apple had midnight pre-orders for the Verizon iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S last October. Both times Apple’s site experienced issues processing orders, and many users had better luck ordering through their carriers. Hopefully Apple will be more prepared this time, but I’m not going to expect it.
iPhone 5 pre-orders will be available on Apple’s online store, and should also be available for through AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon at the same time.
