The Apple website points customers to the Apple store at the Lehigh Valley Mall in Whitehall Townhip.
The smartphone officially goes on sale Sept. 21 at 8 a.m., but all stores may not stock the iPhone 5 immediately.

The new iPhone is thinner and lighter than the last two generations, but it is taller to accommodate the bigger screen, which is up from 3.5 inches. Apple says its processing speed also is much faster than its predecessors.
The iPhone 5 starts at $649, but the price can come down to as low as $200 with a cellular plan subscription.
