Thank's so much for posting the psycho "It's happening" guy. I would have been seriously disappointed if it hadn't been on the first page of this thread. :p
 
Walked past my local store on the way to work.

Absolutely NOBODY was queuing or inside buying a phone.

Gonna be a few spare to view today at lunchtime methinks.
 
Why are "men" ordering pink phones??

Yes, this is a bit puzzling to me also.

I have a 6S and a 6S+ coming tomorrow and I ordered "Gold" because I kind of like the colour. In truth, I never see the color of my existing gold 6+ since it is always in a case.

Apple should really make a phone that you can hold without it slipping out of the hand so easily - but that's another topic.

Back the "rose gold" I bought a fair amount of jewelry for my girlfriend and some of it was "rose gold" and yeah "rose gold" is PINK for sure. It's NOT for guys IMHO. Chicks dig it though.

I think sometimes when we, the pre-order fanboys, put our orders in, we maybe select what is "hot". What is the "hot" colour. It was like that last year. If I cared, I could have sold my gold 6+ 128GB last year for several hundred dollars more than I paid. I never did that, I wanted the phone, but I guess if I wanted to suffer for a few months waiting for my latest technology to come I could have sold it - and that' is probably why the "rose gold" is selling so fast.

It's consumerism forces at work I guess.

Anyway, glad people are getting their iPhones as usual.

It's a nice perk up to get a new toy, so enjoy it is what I say!

I had to go in to AT&T at lunch to up my data plan and 2 people were buying iPhones today.
I mentioned new ones tomorrow and that the phones they are buying right now will be reduced price in less than 24 hours and both couples just blew me off and said neither points were important enough for them to wait until tomorrow.

Well, a lot of people have pre-ordered - this happened with the Apple Watch and remember the idiotic news coverage of that in the UK?

Does your small town Apple Store have any stock?

In my town, we don't even have an Apple store, so people line up at the cellphone stores in the AM. Then the clerk usually reports that they have 6 black and 6 other color. So that means the 30 people waiting dissipate after that is announced.

No point lining up if there is no stock - so it is not as much of a prognosticator as some of the big stores with people camping out.

iPhone 6 already $100 off - if that is what they are buying ...

Haha, yeah - my cousin sitting here told me he is going to wait for the iPhone 7!

Genius!

Small town? I live in the fourth largest city with ~110,000 people.

Granted we don't have any Apple stores in New Zealand, only general retailers and electonic stores.

Still, a huge sign outside saying they're now selling the Apple Watch isn't grabbing anyone's attention either.

thats possible also. They may have known exactly what they were getting.
I just remember them walking in ahead of me and saying we want the new phone now and a salesman said here let me help you. They were sitting at the table across from me when he brought out two 6+'s he walked off again which is when I mentioned what I said earlier and it was as if I was bothering them so... Oh well.
