If you are awake like I will be tonight when the pre orders are supposed to go live on Apple's site (along with the carriers) and you want to pass the time, post here!

We'll have a bunch of iMore writers and forums staff here to chat with, and we'll give away some accessory prizes to people posting in this thread.

What better way to wait?

Everyone know which carrier, capacity, and color they're pre-ordering? Sound off, and good luck!

Information you will need to preorder your iphone 5 tonight

I've never pre-ordered an iPhone before because i've never had an upgrade available at the time of when the new one comes out, so i am wondering what info i will need for the pre-order so everything can go quickly and smoothly. I am a Verizon customer and i know i will need the billing password and the last 4 digits of my social security but what else will i need besides basic/billing info and a credit card?

I don't think I'll pre-order. I like lining up too much! But I think I'm going with 64GB blackout on Rogers.

And I'll be here in my jammies tonight to join in the fun either way!

I'm just curious if pre-ordering your iPhone 5 tonight guarantees you an iPhone 5 on launch day. If not, I may camp out at my local store. I've never pre-ordered before. What's it like?

I'm in the same boat as you. I think us Verizon folks might need some insight from you AT&T folks. This is the first time I've been able to upgrade because the iPhone 4 was released when I signed my last 2 year contract. Any insight guys? :confused:

All I had to do when I ordered my 4s was provide a credit/debit card for billing. I didn't need any special information or anything else. I sincerely doubt the way you order has changed in a year. :)

This is my first pre-order for iPhone. It will be live at 12:01am PST time correct?

More or less... unless the servers crash. Last year it started at 12:01, but there were major issues with Apple and AT&T... most orders didn't get placed until after about 2:00-2:30...

You beat me to it. Same thing happened when a lot of people tried to update to iOS5. Apple's servers crashed. Same thing will probably happen when iOS6 is available.

BTW I will be up all night waiting. Getting the 16GB this time since I don't need all the space I used to with the 32gb iPhone 4 thanks to iTunes Match!!! Can't wait!!! oh and going with the Black/Slate on Verizon this time, done with the white!

Anyone know if ordering thru Verizon guarantees it on launch day or if only Apple's site will?

I'm always still up at 12pm PST so yeah I'll be preordering right away. If the servers allow me too. Was a mess the past 2 years.

16GB Black AT&T and I will be ordering via the Apple corporate site for my work ;)

Heard that orders go through like a breeze without any hassles and if it doesn't, I have got multiple laptops lol.

Will keep posted!

Do people really have to be the absolute first ones with the new iPhone? I would rather wait and make sure any bugs are worked out of it first

Did you have issues with your white Iphone? Im not sure which color I want but I heard that wear and tear is more visible on the white one. What do you think??
