The iPhone 5 is nearly here, with an official release of September 21. We're already seeing people line up for the iPhone 5, eight days out from release and there are reports that people are receiving notice that their package has arrived in the US.

One shipment has updated that it had arrived in the US, and that it was scheduled to be delivered on Monday - but Apple most likely won't let this happen, obviously.

Apple's iPhone 5 hit pre-order on September 14, and has "blown away" the Cupertino-based company's expectations of demand. The new iPhone 5 should be quite the hit when people get their hands on it, and it looks like a few lucky people could get their iPhone 5 slipped into their hands early.
