Typically Domain Security doesn't let people line up until like 4 or 5 am now I believe. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Same might be true for Barton but not sure there...but no freakin way would I be in line with the Monsoon that's coming
This is accurate. I waited at the iPhone 4 launch at The Domain and started queuing up around 4 am. It was pretty spartan, until security let us queue, and there was a mad rush to the line. I decided to skip all that this year and order online. So much easier to have it delivered to my door.

Right on. Just makes more sense to set your alarm for 2 AM and wake up, click a few buttons, and have it delivered to you at home or work. I don't see any benefit of waiting in line besides getting the phone in the morning vs the afternoon and hanging out with all the Apple Geeks.
For me, it's a matter of work, too. I'm a teacher with a job now, not a kid just outta college. Ain't nobody got time for that.
If you want it, the domain is the best bet. Their store is ***** huge and they will have tons of phones there. It's also in the middle of all the tech in Austin, and I know that they'll have lots of phones of all the versions there.
Austin. Our weirdo neighbors to the north.
Heh, also San Antonio here. Love Austin though. Pretty up there. No line for me though delivery to door sometime tomorrow
Posting from The Domain. Line will unofficially be allowed starting at midnight due to demand. There's a list of who arrived here that will have priority when the line forms. I would say there's about 40 people here in their cars. Due to complaints APD and Simon properties security is in full, visible force.

I may try and stop by during my lunch hour but something tells me its not even worth it haha. Oh well I just wanna try the 6 and 6+ anyways. Plus I'm not authorized on my business account to make changes so God only knows what hops I'd have to go through.
Best of luck to you all and I hope you get the device you're after!

How bad is the line at the Domain? ATT at research said they will only get really few iPhone 6+ models. It was like one black 128GB/ one black 64Gb etc...also not all colors for the plus model.
If there's already too many people, I guess I will have to aim for October...
