Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- In just a few hours, the new iPhone will go on sale.

Many people are lining around the world and in Las Vegas in hopes of getting their hands on a new phone.

The people in Las Vegas say that they want the phone because it is supposedly twice as fast as the older models, has faster wireless, it weighs less and it has a bigger screen.

The release of the new version could be the biggest consumer electronics launch in history.

The new iPhone isn't perfect though. Complaints have started pouring in about the new maps app specifically.

According to the complaints, towns are missing, airports are mislabeled and satellite images are not accurate.

Analysts are predicting that Apple will sell up to 10 million iPhone 5 models.
