CARMEL –

The wait is over for the people across the country who stood in line to be the first to own the iPhone 5. The new model broke sales records with pre-orders.

It’s a familiar sight, and similar to pre-Christmas sales: long lines and lack of sleep.

“I’ve been out here since about four in the afternoon,” said customer James Logan. “Thursday afternoon.”

“I’m not really materialistic but when it comes to the iPhone I have to have it,” said Esteban Smith.

It may as well have been Christmas for the crowds camped outside at the Fashion Mall all night. Hours before Friday’s 8:00 am release of the highly touted iPhone 5, people passed the time and marked their place in line outside the Apple store and in smaller outlets like the AT&T store in Carmel.

“This is the fastest selling iPhone we’ve ever had,” said Leisa Zang, AT&T director of sales.
