The launch proper of the Apple iPhone 5 by Maxis is currently on the way with just 1 hour to go before gates officially open. As you can observe from the pictures below, queues span across the outside of Kuala Lumpur’s IT mall – CapSquare PIKOM ICT Mall. Mind you, these are from pre-bookings alone.

Sale of the iPhone 5 starts at midnight, December 14.
