GADGET lovers were up at the crack of dawn on Friday to get their hands on Apple's new iPhone 5 when the shops opened.
The first customer was IT engineer Mark Walby, 33, from the Forest of Dean, who camped outside from 5am. He said: "I just want the latest model. I've had all the other iPhones."
Software engineer Steve Coates, 48, travelled all the way from Tewkesbury and even took a day off work for the launch.
Electrician Andrew Jones, 23, from Maisemore, said: "It's simply beautiful. I can't wait to phone my brother from it and gloat."
The new phone claims to be lighter, thinner and quicker but what do you think of it.
Vote in our TiG poll to say whether you believe it is fantastic and much better than the iPhone 4; no improvement or simply terrible.
