[RightMACatU]

/moves on with life

 

[Yelmurc]

There has got to be some sort of legal action companies can take against Apple. So many people being unproductive or calling in sick on the same day. It hurts everyones economy

Samsung only wishes they had this problem.

But Reuters says Apple is losing its cool with consumers...

FWIW, according to the guy at AT&T, everyone wants the Plus with almost no exceptions.

Not sure exactly where this is, looks like somewhere in Asia?

No idea. They didn't say.

Holy Bat Crap Cowman....

apple should thanks steve jobs creating
magic devices
....

On CNBC they said the line at the flagship NYC store is 20 blocks long. That's nuts.

I hope they have like 5 phones total....

"and one more thing"

You know, if Steve had realized this way back when, Samsung would be dead by now.

 

[Tubamajuba]

Seriously, why wait on line when you could have pre-ordered and had it delivered to your front door, free of charge, on the 19th?



People amaze me.

Except that's not true in many cases, especially those that wanted a 6 Plus.

 

[patseguin]

This is just insane, especially since you could have pre-ordered one for shipping or in store pickup. Don't these people have jobs to get to?

 

[Mazeman]

I may be crazy enough to get up at 3AM (EST) and keep refreshing multiple web pages for two hours....

....but waiting in one of those lines? That's where I draw the line.

I'd rather order online, and wait the week.

 

[Jsameds]

This is a day you're going to tell your kids about.

I agree. The day Scotland came to its senses!

 

[HenryDJP]

All this should gain Apple some serious market share. Sorry Samsung.

 

[6836838]

It's like admitting stupidity for not preordering!

 

[ppdix]

ATT store in Miami. No 6+ at all.

Not even one!... Luckily I preordered last week but I can't believe they really didn't even have one.

Apple Store Ginza, in Tokyo // not sure what Ginza is

As detailed in the 'is the T-Mobile version unlocked' thread, I picked my iPhone up at UPS at 8 AM this morning. I got there about 10 minutes before the facility opened, and by the time it did there were roughly 10-15 people in line, almost all to get iPhones. So there are even lines at UPS facilities!

Covent Garden store:

 

[Boatboy24]

Holy Schnikes, those are some long lines!

 

[phpmaven]

I want a iPhone 6. I do not want a iPhone 6 bad enough to wait in line for it. Get a life.

I'm sick and tired of these inane comments. Take a hike.

It's Japan. Look at the cars in the other direction and the letters on the signs...

This is a day you're going to tell your kids about.

Yes, and the day you made a line to buy a Pet Rock too.

Better stop reading now then.
