Just hours after Apple launched sales of the iPhone 5s and 5c at its brick-and-mortar Apple Stores, videos showing the some of the devices' first unboxings have been uploaded to YouTube.
As people line up in front of Apple Stores around the world to get their hands on the company's latest iPhone models, Australia has had units on sale for hours, enough time to get a quick unboxing video shot and uploaded to the Web.
Once again, Ben Pasternak offers one of the first looks at the two devices in two separate clips. The first features what seems to be an rare gold version of the iPhone 5s. Availability of the of the new color is thought to be extremely constrained as reports from those waiting in line have said Apple Stores will only be receiving five to ten units per location.
iPhone 5s:
In the second clip, we see a yellow iPhone 5c complete with Apple's new silicone case. The new iPhones mark the return of first-party cases, which are crafted to fit the devices snugly. The 5c version, seen below, features holes to reveal the colorful plastic shell underneath, while the 5s case is more subdued and made of leather.
iPhone 5c:
Apple is rolling out sales in 11 countries on Friday, opening its doors to customers starting at 8 a.m. local time. Those unwilling to wait in line can order the device via the Online Apple Store, though delivery times in countries such as Australia and the UK started out at 7 to 10 days.

Person wanting to be a smartass with the artsy video shoot/music/editing should be schooled. That was one freaking annoyance to watch.
Video of taking a product out of a box. THAT IS PATHETIC.
The 5c unboxing is a prime example of what not to do in an unboxing video, don't try to sell the hype, people will see this because of the hype, just do the unboxing, instead we get these pretentious artistic shots, and not showing of the packaging. Nice try kid, but if its an unboxing video, think of a way to do that well, instead of everything but that. Didn't see the 5s one.
As if I wasn’t depressed enough, some whacked-out Apple newbie acts like this…
Where has all the good Apple culture gone?
