I think the camping out days are long gone. If anyone does it now it's just for pure pleasure at this point. Apple hasn't had anything to camp out for, for years now.
Don’t really fancy camping out in the cold concrete streets of the uk
My parents tried a few years ago, but, t hey were told the only available stock is pre-order only.
Can't remember the last iPhone that had lines out camping. The iPhone X maybe?
I think so too. I remember waking up early and getting in line at 6 am. Not exactly camping out. But snagged 2 iPhone X which I flipped and made $600 profit lol
I miss camping out. Met some interesting people and drank plenty of coffee.
iPhone 11
iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro go on sale in the UK
"You accept Apple products as part of your life, there no other brand I would camp out overnight for," one fan told

Apple stopped letting people camp out or wait in line in 2020 for iPhone 12 release after Covid hit
Don't look to stand in line at Apple Store for new iPhone, they won't let you
Apple is offering interest-free monthly installments to buy the new iPhone12 for users of its Apple Card credit card.

Stores were mostly closed except for order pick-ups or appointments. Then the Delta and Omicron variants hit in the summer and fall of 2021. This new wave of infections probably kept people away. After 2 years of no people camping out and lack of press coverage of over-nighters, I think the idea of camping out died.
I’m a happy camper
…with my current iPhone and thus won’t be buying anything.

While I do miss the community of camping out getting it delivered is also quite nice. It is my understanding that stores get very limited stock for walk ins. Carrier stores I think have normal stock for walk ins.
I remember waiting in line once for about a hour. In a Mall. Techno junkies. I also saw a couple celebrities cut the line.
that time of year.
But waiting outside in a tent or something?

Can you even camp out now? I don't think they do that anymore.
I did that once many years ago when it was still a big thing. You do have to hand it to Steve Jobs. He knew how to create excitement.

yes I have been camping out since the announcement last week for the brand new updated AirPods Max with the revolutionary new colors and magnificent USB C.
can't wait for them to die from condensation in completely normal stationary indoor office use for the 3rd time.
hopefully the innovative Tim Cook has created a completely waterproof seal inside the newly designed update that will allow me to scuba dive with them.

Only camped out once, for tickets to see The Who. For three days! Campout was more fun than the concert, which was incredible (third row, center-stage)!
Oh man, those were the days. I camped out for the iPhone 3G and iPhone 5S (no pre-orders that year, believe it or not), and outside of Best Buy for the Nintendo Wii and the Nintendo Switch.
Not sure if I could do it anymore these days even if it was still a thing 😅

I did for the first iPhone. Lucky thing bc they sold out quick. These days that's not really an issue, there's no reason to sleep on concrete, you can just go in and buy one like how the sane people do it.
++ camped out for Pink Floyd tickets back in 1988, when there was no online anything. But for a phone? That’s whackadoo.
