Apple is reportedly emailing some customers who pre-ordered the iPhone 5 letting them know that their delivery date will be earlier than expected, reports AppleInsider.

One AppleInsider reader received a note from Apple letting them know that their iPhone 5 will arrive sooner than expected. When the order was originally placed Friday morning, this person was quoted an arrival date of two weeks.

The email reads:
