Following the announcement of the iPhone 5c on Tuesday, Apple is now accepting pre-orders for the colorful new smartphone through the Apple Store. The iPhone 5S will not be available for pre-order, but both models will arrive in-stores and at doors on September 20th.
If you’d rather try your luck with one of the carrier stores, U.S. customers can also pre-order through the AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, or T-Mobile online stores. Like the Apple Store, these sites tend to crash every year during iPhone pre-orders, and supplies will likely run out quickly, so if you want to pre-order your phone, now is the time to do it. You can find more pre-order info, stores, and deals in our iPhone pre-order guide.

Both will be arriving “at doors” on the 20th? How is this so if the 5S (I don’t like the lowercase) is not available for preorder?
How does that mean the 5s won’t be ready for the 20th?
Obviously the 5s falls into the category of “in stores.”
