&lt;img src=&#039;http://assets.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/iPhone4s__Apple*100.jpg?v=1&#039;&gt;Friday is &quot;D-Day&quot; for fans of Apple Inc.&#039;s new iPhone 4S. That&#039;s &quot;D&quot; as in delivery.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple&#039;s (NASDAQ: AAPL) smartphone sensation will become available at 8 a.m. local time today in the United States and a half dozen countries.

The phone has had strong preorders, with Dallas-based AT&amp;T reporting last week that the iPhone 4S broke its previous sales record, with 200,000 pre-orders in the first 12 hours they were available.

Apple has retail stores in Dallas, Fort Worth, Southlake, Frisco and Plano.
