Avid fans of Apple’s iPhone who are looking to upgrade to the new iPhone 5 can now reserve a unit online using the Personal Pickup service on Apple.com or via the Apple Store application on their current iDevice.

Apple retail is informing customers that Personal Pickup is now available for the iPhone 5. All you need to do is apply for one and they’ll have it ready for you to pick up in-store, given that the phone is in stock.

The reservation is available on the iPhone page on Apple’s official web site in the States, as well as from the Apple Store application on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.

Customers who don’t fulfill their orders in 24 hours will lose the device to someone else, and they’ll get a refund from Apple, according to AppleInsider.
