Online Orders for iPhone 5s Begin at 12:01 AM Pacific Time on Friday, September 20
While Apple and its carrier partners launched pre-orders for the iPhone 5c today at 12:01 AM, the company is not offering pre-orders for the new iPhone 5s model, despite both models becoming available next Friday, September 20.
In an email sent out to Apple customers today promoting the start of iPhone 5c pre-orders, the company also confirmed that orders for the iPhone 5s will similarly go live at 12:01 AM Pacific Time on September 20. (In an apparent error, the company's email says Pacific Standard Time, but Daylight Saving Time remains in effect until early November.)
With no pre-order process for the iPhone 5s, orders will simply ship when they are ready, and supplies are expected to be tight.
For those who want to make sure they are able to obtain the iPhone 5s on launch day, Apple will be opening its retail stores at 8:00 AM local time to begin sales. Lines will undoubtedly be long as customers will likely be lining up early to give themselves the best chance at securing their preferred models.

The iPhone 13 is widely expected to come with Wi-Fi 6E capabilities, and while it may seem rather nuanced to the average consumer, with only improved speeds and being "up to date" in the realm of Wi-Fi technology, it's actually a fairly significant improvement, laying the groundwork for much of what we know the future holds.
To truly understand Wi-Fi 6E, MacRumors sat down for an exclusive...

How about people who have taken a vacation at work to stand in line (that has been me in the past), project employed (also been me in the past - I have been paid for a 3 month project, and I can work my own hours to get the project done in 3 months). They could have weekend jobs where they work Fri night - Sunday...and numerous others.
To stereotype all people who are not working on a Tuesday 2:00 in the afternoon as losers is very naive. Most successful people vacation and take time off all the time, and only work in spurts.
Nah...I dont have a peanut factory. She doesn't ask for much but when I make a promise to anyone, I stick to it
Actually, the whole "Standing in Line" thing kinda surprised me. At 55 years old and self employed (which causes me being away from home a lot) I found it rather refreshing..
I stood in line for the 3G when it came out, packed a lunch, and had my "NASCAR" folding chair and was out there about 7 hours. Lots of nice people with common interests (ie. Ham Radio, Private Pilots, Classic Cars, NASCAR, music)
Not something I would do everyday but you know, it didn't suck..
