NewsChannel 15's Alyssa Ivanson was at the Verizon store just before the store opened and about two dozen people were already lined up.  The AT&T on Lima Road had about 15 people in line before the store opened.

Preorders for the new phone sold out in less than 24 hours. That's more than 2 million phones. But, Apple says pre-orders of the phone won't ship for three to four weeks because of high demand.

Apple unveiled the iPhone 5 September 12. It has several different features including a slightly larger screen, a faster processor, and a smaller dock connector.
