LOL at the shot of the guys buying two each. They’re just happy to sell those bad boys.

Looks like everyone are buying two phones!
Or does iPhone X come in two boxes?
yea it’s
[doublepost=1509714749][/doublepost]It’s BS. That’s why all these stores sell out so fast.
 
Those are all resellers thinking they are gonna make $500 profit on each phone, they are in for disappointment.
Not necessarily I'm sure some of them are going to be able to flip the phone there are those people that don't want to wait or deal with the crowds. And we all know after today they will be a little harder to come by....

apple definitely is not disappointed?
Seriously though, how much will the resell value be of an unboxed iphone X after 20 yrs?
 
I just can't get on the tablet/phone train. I have an iPhone, provided by work, and it has maybe 10 apps loaded. I read on my iPad by borrowing books from the library. It serves no other function.

I don't foresee ever buying another iPad and a flip phone is all I need for text/calls.
 
One of the few benefits of living in a one horse town is the ability to impulsively walk into a store and pick up an iPhone X 256gb on launch day lol. I'm loving it so far, and it's the perfect size! Not freakishly big like the Plus, but bigger than the 4.7 enough to make a difference. Now to wait an hour to back up my old 6 and transfer everything. My wife is either going to hail me as a hero or kill me when she gets home tonight...

Woohoo! Congratulations! And coming from a 6, that’s a significant upgrade. Enjoy!
 
It feels so stupid sharing dem pics of happy consumers with their beloved products in their hands. They just seem so content, like this is the happiest moment in their life.

Always reminds me of that movie: obey, consume, reproduce, and conform

Anyone else find this whole thing hilarious?

In the grand scheme of things, yes, a little silly. But we are a consumer economy. This is what we do. Sheeple by default.

As such as people like to diss others who wait in line, I always find it fun looking at the photos. Everyone always looks so happy.

The “dissers” are just jealous. I thought it was a lot of fun to wait in line to for the iPhone 4 (2010). I may camp out again one day just for fun. I mean, it will be for a new iPhone launch, but for the fun of the event, as opposed to pre-ordering a week prior.

Apple today celebrated the launch of the new iPhone X by sharing some images of customers around the world buying and trying out the smartphone for the first time.

George Street, Sydney

Apple Stores globally open at 8:00 a.m. local time to allow customers to pick up their reserved devices and make walk-in purchases, and Apple posted pictures of customers at Apple Stores in Dubai, Shanghai, Singapore, Tokyo, and Sydney.

Years in the making, the iPhone X (pronounced "iPhone 10"), is Apple's latest and most advanced flagship device to date, featuring a 5.8-inch OLED display, Face ID facial recognition, wireless inductive charging, and a faster A11 Bionic processor.

Initial demand for the smartphone appears to be strong, with long lines forming outside Apple Stores around Europe, Asia, and Australasia, following advice from the tech giant that people get to stores early if they want to be in with a chance of purchasing the smartphone on launch day.

Large queues have been seen in Singapore, Madrid, Amsterdam, Belfast, Edinburgh, and Liverpool. Outside the Apple Store in Regent Street, London, a line of several hundred people snaked right around the corner. Stores are just now beginning to open in the U.S., where queues were sighted across the country overnight and have been growing ever since.

The only exception seems to be in Belgium and France, where due to anti-terrorism restrictions, Apple is not selling the iPhone X to customers there without a pre-order or pickup reservation.

Meanwhile, customers in New Zealand and Australia were first to receive their shipped iPhone X pre-orders today thanks to time zone differences, and now customers across Asia and Europe have been following in kind.

In the United States, the first iPhone X deliveries will take place on the east coast starting at 8:00 a.m. iPhone X pricing starts at $999 for the 64GB model, with the 256GB model priced at $1,149.

Stay tuned to MacRumors for more coverage of the iPhone X launch throughout the day.
