Expectations are running high that Apple will sell tens of millions of the iPhone 5 within a few weeks, blowing past previous sales.
Marine Sgt. Iggy McDonaldhas been camped outside of an Apple Store in Arlington, Va., since Tuesday. "I've spent Tuesday night and last night here and I'm planning on spending tonight here as well. I've stood in line for all of the iPhones," he said.
People have been lining up all week outside Manhattan's Fifth Avenue Apple Store to buy an iPhone 5 when it goes on sale Friday.
By Thursday evening, the line outside the flagship Apple store in New York City had grown to more than 60 people. The eager iPhone customers -- as well as the Occupy Wall Street protestors who had infiltrated the line -- were penned up behind metal barriers in the plaza near the Apple store.
