Looking to grab an iPhone 5? Good news - it's experiencing the most robust launch of any iPhone to date. Bad news - it's also the most popular and hyped up iPhone of all time which means that actually having one in your hands could take some waiting.
The iPhone 5 launched last Friday in the United States through AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint. The 16GB model costs $199, the 32GB model costs $299, and you'll have to drop $399 for te 64GB model. These prices are all with standard two-year contracts. Apple is also set to release an unlocked iPhone 5 in the coming weeks that will cost $649, $749, or $849 depending on how much storage you opt for.
A look at Apple's online store shows that if you place an order in now, you have to wait three to four weeks. Websites for carriers AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon are all also showing the same shipping timeframe.
