Only Macs and MacBooks are sometimes available for ordering the day they got announced. None of the iDevices have yet.

The iPhone never has, I'm pretty sure iPad haven't either. Mac has though.

Wouldn't that be cool?

"That's the iPhone 6. Available NOW in your Apple Store and online!"

Wow, what a mad rush that would be lol

Sure hope we can pre-order that Friday of the week it gets announced. Don't mind waking up early to pre order and wait for the UPS guy the following Friday at my office :)

I'm really hoping for pre-orders this year, last year there was a mad rush getting hold of a 5s - presume due to low stock levels. Fingers crossed they have a few more 6's!

There'd be a stampede going out of the keynote right when they say that. :)

Could you see all those nerd bloggers at the keynote stampeding out as soon as they hear, "And they're available...today" and besieging the nearest Apple store to get in line?

haha... imagine all the car accidents on the news... people (like me) driving like nutbags in their rush to get to the nearest retail location.

I guess they would need to wait until the keynote is over. Then they would say where the nearest apple store is and call the apple store to tell get ready.

Dream on. There'd be reports of at least a dozen dead and thirty injured in the stampede. :D

Almost all of them bloggers will get a review unit before release anyway.
