Apple has not offered pre-orders for the iPhone 5s, which is set to launch this Friday at 8AM local time. Despite Apple and local carriers such as TELUS and Rogers (and dealer stores) taking iPhone 5c pre-orders, the iPhone 5s is only going to be first come first serve on September 20.
That is unless you are able to get on the “call back” list at Tbooth Wireless. According to some iPhoneinCanada readers, some locations are taking names for the iPhone 5s launch, giving them access to stores at 8AM instead of the usual 9AM opening time. This is not an iPhone 5s pre-orders list–no deposits are being taken–but rather just a call back list. We confirmed this is indeed true as we called local stores in our area and they did say an unofficial “call back” list was being taken.
So if you have a Tbooth Wireless in your area, give them a call or visit in person to get your name down for an iPhone 5s “call back” this Friday (the RedFlagDeals slang YMMV applies). It might save you some time waiting in line. Let us know if you’re successful in the comments.
Thanks Varman!
