IPhone 5 Shipments Leaving China, En Route To The US

Apple’s manufacturing partners in China have been hard at working churning out enough iPhone 5s ready for the release this coming Friday (21st).

Some news is coming from readers of the popular Apple blog, 9to5Mac yesterday afternoon, claiming that vast shipments are already on their way to US shores, to satisfy pre-order numbers and stock shelves in time for the chaos that will ensue at the end of this week.

Several of the site’s readers have received notifications that their orders are in fact on their way. Have any of you received notifications of shipment yet? Let us know in the comments.
