Eager
buyers formed long lines at Apple stores in Australia and Japan. In
Hong Kong, buyers had to sign up online for the chance to pick up the
device at a preset time. The first customers were greeted by staff
cheering, clapping, chanting "iPhone 5! iPhone 5!" and high-fiving them
as they were escorted through the front door.
Meanwhile, one reader from Australia has posted their first impressions of their new iPhone 5 and has been posting more photos in the thread.

The screen
size is noticeably taller. The change in aspect ratio feels good. The
lack of increase in width seems awkward in photos, but when you hold it
you understand how much more comfortable it feels when compared to a
wider phone. The dock is so tiny now! I almost missed it when checking
out the bottom of the device. The speaker grills also look great in the
finished modal. They do not appear as large as photos portray them to
be.
Italian site iSpazio.net has posted their own unboxing photos and video.
