Dude I spoke to last weekend at the local Apple store said to come by after 12:00 noon...should be plenty of 5s to go around.

Top sellers by carrier (according to him) 16gb AT&T...... 32 & 64 will be easier to come by, but they will have less in stock.

Verizon is #2 same as above for size and availability.

Sprint & Tmobile.......they are gonna have to give them away, not much demand for them.

Which Apple Store is local for you? And I just don't trust that...the employees know as much as the rest of us...except that 16gb is the most popular.

Topanga? Thats a larger store.

You're gonna try and order tonight at midnight?

...and another thing:

When viewing in month view, when I select dates to view that have events, the "day" view that calendar jumps to, jumps to the current hour on that day, so say for example you are viewing your future days appointments for a week out at night before you go to bed...say at 11:00pm , the day view is gonna jump to 11:00pm on those days you are viewing.....so you will have to scroll up on each day to see if you have a morning appointment....because you won't be able to view it at a glance.

Stupid

Apple's Control Center used to bypass iOS 7 passcode lock [u]

The exploit, discovered by Jose Rodriguez on Thursday, take a bit of finesse to get right, though we have independently verified that it works. It is somewhat reminiscent of a lock screen bug in iOS 6.1 that allowed access to Contacts, Photos and Voicemail by using a complex string of commands including the emergency call feature.

As reported by Fortune, the recently discovered vulnerability involves Control Center, a new feature in iOS 7 that gives users quick access to commonly used apps and commands.

First, a nefarious user must invoke Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of a locked iPhone or iPad's lock screen. From there, the Clock app can be opened even without a passcode. Holding down the power button will bring up the shut-off pane. This next part is tricky, though is manageable with practice. Instead of swiping to power down the device, cancel is selected, followed quickly by one short and one long press of the home button. The device enters the iOS 7 multi-tasking view and from there Mail, Photos and Twitter can be accessed.

The exploit can be defeated by simply disabling Control Center in the lock screen, though this somewhat hampers the new iOS 7 capability. It should also be noted that access is only granted to app open prior to locking the device, and the titles affected by the workaround are limited. For example, Safari cannot be opened from the multi-tasking view.

We tested the bug on both the iPhone 5 and third-generation iPad, and while it took a few tries, the process does work.

Apple will most likely patch the issue in an upcoming software update.

Update: Apple has confirmed to AllThingsD that a fix is in the works and will be included in a future update. No estimated release date was given.

shit like this happened when Steve was in charge too. There's probably been at least one lock screen bypass for every major version of iOS released, it's been happening for years now, nothing new.

He let the shit antenna design of the iPhone 4 go to market...

I've always wondered how people figure out the bypass with those strange old school video game button combos.

I knew it was in 6.1, don't know why I didn't know about it in the others. Although overall, I still stand by what I said. Jobs was not tolerable of poor quality.

Looks like 5S supplies are very tight.

I should pick up a couple and sell them on eBay.

Ordered mine. says 1-3 days. didnt allow for instore pick up

Orders are now linked to accounts...so if you try anywhere else it says you arent eligible for the upgrade or you have a phone linked to an order already.

I wonder if I go to an apple store and luck out...if they can cancel my order and give me the phone there.

Is anyone else having issues with skipping tracks from the lock screen or control panel?

Phone will still skip tracks via the headphones, but not on the phone itself
