Just hours away from the official iPhone 5 launch in the United States, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and the United Kingdom, lines at stores around the world are lengthening in anticipation of the event. iFixit is currently in Australia waiting outside the Telstra retail store “photo above” to purchase an iPhone 5 for teardown purposes. We will post their teardown video and photos ones they finish.

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has also checked in at the Chermside Apple retail store outside of Brisbane where he is waiting for one of the first iPhone 5 units to hit the streets.

In this video below from @pdparticle you can see a big line at the Palo Alto store near Apple’s headquarters in the United States.
