Don't forget last year a lot of people were buying to resell in Asia. This year HK will be releasing on the same day plus the LTE antenna in the phone is different from the HK version.

Posted via RS Mobile | No. Sorry, but I don't get why some people line up because they just have to get their "gadget" a few days earlier than everyone else. I'll order tonight and if it takes a couple weeks I don't mind. Posted via RS Mobile | |

it's not guaranteed. but if you order it AT MIDNIGHT (not 1am.. not 2am..)... chances are it will arrive SAME DAY it is released.

That may or may not happen this year but since the LTE antenna doesn't work in countries like HK or Japan or South Korea, in my opinion less ppl in line buying the phone to resell. Not saying you can't flip them locally but unless there is a shortage, won't profit too much this year compared to previous years.
There are two GSM versions that have different LTE antenna and one CDMA version
There was a guy on here last year that rounded up foot soldiers to line up for him. Can't remember that fellow but if he starts rounding up guys again then there's a chance to make some money. Posted via RS Mobile

Good question. Not really worth the hassle if you're going to be making like $50.

Another problem this year is that the price this year increased by $50. But once you factor in taxes, add on the profit you want to make, might be harder for ppl to drop $900 on a phone. I think they rather wait them pay that premium. Again just my opinion and also depends if there is shortage or not. Posted via RS Mobile | |

| Unlocked iPhone 5 U.S. Pricing Revealed | Redmond Pie
Wait, so US has unlocked versions of the iPhone now????
This will be a harder to flip phones since a lot of people come from the states to buy.

US pricing also cheaper than canada..that's kinda stupid. We've been at parity for so long.
I think there may still be a market for shipping out to asia as the major market is still china which doesn't have the LTE network yet.

so the bet on flipping them is basically, that supply will run out in the short term (first wave shipment), and people that are too eager to wait will shell out more money.
even if you make a lousy 50 bux a phone. thats 5.5-7% return.
it's a solid investment.
0 risk man. you just return the phones if you cant flip em...
sell 17+ phones and you got yourself a free iphone5. or just pocket 5%+ you just made over a weekend?
btw i did go to the applestore physically and ask. u can return them to the store. they will take care of the shipping.
i asked the "genius" how many phones they'd be getting and if he thinks they'll run out.
he shrugged his shoulders, looked me in the eye and said "dont know"
but not an authentic "don't know". more like "i cant say because ive been instructed not to say anything".

I think so too but those ppl will try to buy from HK and ship to china since it will be cheaper than buying from here Posted via RS Mobile | |
