Friday is the day many people have been waiting for as Apple's iPhone 5 finally hits the shelves.

And they aren't wasting any time. People are lining up around the corner at Apple Stores right now, camping out on the last day of summer, to be the first to get the new smartphone.

Many say they are there for the excitement. But others say it's because they couldn't get on the pre-order list. That would have had them waiting for weeks, even months, to get their hands on the new gadget.

Many people have been camping out for days for the new phone and say they certainly hope it's worth the wait.

FOX 29's Steve Keeley reported live this morning from outside the Apple Store in Marlton, N.J., where doors open at 8 a.m.

He spoke to a 16-year old, an 80-year old, and a person hiding under a blanket who wanted to remain anonymous.  Each person expressed their excitement over this new phone.

Anyone who thought that Apple would fall out of fashion after the passing of Steve Jobs  - just take one look at this package.  The iPhone frenzy continues.
