AMARILLO -- Customers packed area cell phone stores today for a chance to own a new iPhone5.
Apple's latest phone hit shelves today, though customers were able to pre-order.
People started lining up as early as midnight to be one of the first to own the newest phone.
But store employees told us, the crowd was tame.
AT&T Store Manager, Travis Green said, "We were able to handle all our crowds, everything went really smooth, we were really prepared for it. This is our fifth time doing it, so we're kinda old pros at it, so we just kinda ran right through 'em and it was smooth as could be. No problems at all."
The iPhone 5 is similar to previous models but has a larger screen and is lighter and thinner than the 4s.
