Lines have started to form at stores across the country. While the the LA Times claims that lines are "noticeably shorter or nonexistent" as compared to previous launches, CNet reports there were healthy lines internationally.
Supply for the new iPhone appears to be tight with international stores selling out relatively quickly. Apple didn't offer pre-orders for the iPhone 5s, so both online and retail sales begin today.
A few reports from U.S. readers in line also indicate very little stock of White and Gold devices. One reader RiderXTC at the Clarendon, VA store indicates that there is a two device per person limit, and White and Gold devices were all claimed quickly:

An Apple employee just came out and asked everyone in line which color, carrier, and size they desired. After getting to the third person, there are no more gold/white or silver/white in any size for any carrier.The iPhone 5c will also go on sale at retail stores on Friday, September 20th. Retail sales will begin at 8am local time, while online sales will kick off at 12:01am Pacific time.

Good luck to all my retina Haswell folks. This is the time to hope against hope that when the store comes back up, there will be magical silent upgrades to the rMBP. :D

And when it comes back up: 7 to 10 days to ship.
At this point, f-it. If I have to wait another 10 days, I'll wait 10 days. It's only a phone, its not food water or sex.

I wish people would line up like this when the Mac Pro comes out, show the Mac some support...seems all people care about these days is having the latest iDevice.

Glad I'm getting my 5C tomorrow.
Goodluck to all those pre-ordering tonight. Use the Apple Store App! It normally lets you purchase quicker than online orders.
