Best Buy Expects Sprint iPhone 5 in 1st Week of October


Submitted by Dan; September 04, 2011
Best Buy is anticipating that the iPhone 5 will be available for pre-order during the first week of October. BGR points to an internal memo:
Thanks to a leaked document from a Best Buy source, we have discovered that Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile stores are anticipating taking preorders for the iPhone 5 starting in the first week of October. Whats a tad bit more interesting, however, is the mention (and further anticipation) that Sprint will be carrying the iPhone 5 at launch.
Best Buy notes that dates may change. A report that Sprint will also be carrying the iPhone 5 was recently revealed by the Wall Street Journal. In addition, ThisIsMyNext reports that Best Buy is also expecting a new "Apple Fixture Installation" on Friday, October 21st.
To be clear, this isnt a run-of-the-mill installation for the big box — our tipster tells us that the request that a manager be on-hand at 6AM is out of the ordinary (they usually show up at 7AM for inventory), and that a similar arrangement was scheduled for the iPhone 4 launch.
The new fixture could very well be signs and displays for the iPhone 5 which has been rumored to launch at some point in October. - sources: BGR | ThisIsMyNext
