    Come Friday, you will stand in line for a new iPhone 5s or 5c, gently shove the elderly out of your way and emerge victorious.

    Per The Unofficial Apple Weblog, Apple sent out a press release today confirming the launch details for the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c. Though much of the information was announced last week, this latest communication reaffirms the retailers which will be selling the iPhones when they launch this Friday, September 20th.

    Besides the Apple Store and Apple’s online storefront, customers can visit their local wireless carriers including AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless. The iPhone will also be available at Best Buy, RadioShack, Target, Walmart stores and other Apple Authorized Resellers. If you are not sure whether a retailer will be selling phone, you may want to call them in the next few days, so you can plan your Friday shopping trip.

    That being said, good luck, don’t push the elderly out of the way on Friday (they often have interesting stories and will share their Werthers Originals candies) and happy hunting!
