iPhone 5 hits store shelves

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - The big day is here. Apple's iPhone 5 is on store shelves across the country. Verizon stores across the coast opened their doors at 8 a.m. prepared for an uptick in business.

About 20 people waited outside AT&T in Daphne on Highway 98. The store passed out Krispy Kreme donuts to the waiting customers.

Around the world, people waited in long lines to get the new iPhone which is the company's thinnest and lightest.

Analysts have estimated Apple will ship as many as 10 million of the new iPhones by the end of September.

While a big hit, according to the San Francisco Chronicle , there's some misdirection with Apple's new map app. Users have complained of outdated or double images, and missing landmarks and transit systems. One neighborhood is mistakenly identified as an airport. Apple told "All Things D" it's working to correct inaccuracies.

Apple is also getting complaints from Switzerland's national rail company. The company accuses Apple of stealing the iconic look of its station clocks. Both designs have a round clock face with black indicators except for the second hand which is read.  An Apple representative in Germany declined to comment immediately on SBB's claim.
