In the wee hours of Friday morning, the iPhone die hards should be standing in line.

A T and T spokesman Jermaine Spight says he expects their Grand Blanc store and others across the country, will be extra busy Friday morning for the launch Apple's iPhone 5. The Grand Blanc store will start selling them at 8 am. Spight expects people will be lining up as early as 6 am that morning.

Spight says pre-orders for the iphone 5 have broken records, but he won't know how many have pre-ordered the device until later on Monday. Apples says it sold 2 million units in the first day, which breaks a record. Spight says they are typically pretty busy for the launch of a new Apple product and this should be no exception.

A national analyst tells USA Today "it will be a madhouse".

Apple's website says phones ordered online won't be delivered until October 5. Analysts say phones sold at retail outlets like Best Buy, Walmart, Radio Shack, Verizon and AT & T, could sell out by Sunday.
