SAN FRANCISCO – It's iPhone 5 launch day, and you know what that means: thousands of people lined up in front of Apple's retail stores, all waiting to be among the first to get their hands on Cupertino's newest creation.

Here's a look at some of the iPhone 5 buyers waiting in line in front of the downtown Apple Store here this morning.
