if you want to get a new iPhone 5s get ready for the lines I'm Bridget Carey and this is your CNET update this is not a typical iPhone launch here we have two types of new iPhones each with a different set of colors and only one of these models the cheaper plastic iPhone 5c was available for pre-order now with previous years if you wanted to pre-order online and get it delivered to you on launch day you had to act fast the initial pre-order stock of last year's iPhone 5 sold out in less than an hour but that wasn't the case for these colorful five sees on Friday afternoon several hours after pre-orders opened up it was still easy to order a 5c and get it in hand on launch day September 20th maybe Apple had more stock of the plastic ones this time or maybe it's just not in high of a demand the first model to sell out was the unlocked no sim card yellow model which had just a 5 day shipping delay but there were no online pre-orders for the high-end iPhone 5s Apple is making folks stand in line at stores for this one here's a little tip instead of waiting in long lines at a crowded Apple Store it could be quicker to just go directly to your local carrier store it's the first time a new iPhone is launching at all for major US carriers so there are more places to pick one up of course Apple stores will likely have the largest supply Gould is going to be the hot color to get and who's to say how many gold color 5s phones each carrier will have in stock if you care about the color that's going to be another stress because maybe there are only a few Gold's compared to the gray or silver so now people will be running and calling around to stores like Best Buy RadioShack and Target just to hunt for a specific color this could become the most annoying iPhone launch year ever if you don't mind waiting a few days to get your hands on it customers can order a 5s online on launch day Friday September 20th at 12:01 a.m. Pacific 3 a.m. Eastern and you can expect other phones to come and gold in the future because of this an image was just posted online from China that's said to be a new HTC one with a gold finish HTC One comes in a few different shades already including red at Sprint and blue at Best Buy but gold would be more in style than any other color at least some fashion designers think so the gold iPhone 5s is being featured with models down the runway at a Burberry Fashion Show in London but it's not the only trendy tech the Samsung Galaxy gear SmartWatch and Galaxy Note 3 have custom jewelry and accessories that were shown off at New York's Fashion Week but no Google glass it was so last year no really that was that last year's Fashion Week that's your tech news update but you can get more details on these stories at cnet.com slash from our studios in New York I'm Bridget Carey
