After its record-setting pre-order numbers last week, Apple will make the iPhone 5 available for in-store purchase today at 8AM, in the U.S., Canada, France, U.K., Germany, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia.  With lines starting as early as last Friday in some places, the demand for the newest iPhone has never been higher. We are on-site at our local Apple Store, and will bring you images from the event throughout the morning.
