I just heard that Foxconn is making 400,000 iPhone 6 and 140,000 iPhone 6 Plus every day.
I have a feeling that demand will far outstrip supply... at least for the first few months.

Life can be profitably filled with all sorts of different experiences. This is one of them.
PS I like your signature.
Got my 6plus today. Preordered. Only five people ahead of me in the preorder line @ 8:15. Hundreds in the other line.

If a pet rock took great pictures and could be resold for more... I'd agree... But it does not. So, hey!
No, this is not the same as the Berlin Wall falling or the moon landing, but most people weren't there for that, so they have to latch on to smaller events. So, What is your point?
Which is one reason why "Tim Cook is no Steve Jobs" is not the insult the media types like to pretend it is.
Mine is getting delivered to me, I still took the day off though.
It's a fun experience to wait in line for the phone each year, I've never waited for more than two hours in Milwaukee.
Just because people wait in line doesn't mean they don't have a life. Some people have paid time off. What's it matter to you if someone waits in line anyway?

Wonder how many Canada got?
The last few years it's always a battle, so I don't even bother waiting first day.

So I casually woke up this morning, got my daughter ready for school and after dropping her off thought i'd drive by my local Verizon store to see the long line and get a little laugh out of it before getting my coffee.
When I got there, the store didn't have a soul there. I walked in and talked to the guy asking what the deal was, and he said he had no idea, but they had stock.
Long story short, 15 minutes later I walked out with an iPhone 6, 64gb and cashed in on their $200 deal for my iPhone 4S.
Weird!

how many phones did they sell in the first quarter for the 5s release?
at those rates they can make 12M iphone 6 a month and 4.2M 6plus'
Seriously! These forums used to by a pretty decent place to hang out but they have really gone down the drain lately. It's a shame.
Well, it's been found that the majority of those in line are current iPhone owners. They are just upgrading.
About 5% or less are Android users moving over to the iPhone.
*See Fox, NBC and CNN articles regarding their line polls in various regions.
So yeah, not much new market share.
I guess if Apple can keep the iPhone base around the same, they can sustain their revenue stream as long as all iPhone owners upgrade frequently.
I've had the 4 & the 5S now.
Wife has had 4, 5S and now the 6.
So I guess it's working to Apple's favor.
it's not surprising to me that the people in line are already iPhone owners. It's probably mostly diehard fans that stand in line. I'm not sure how you can extrapolate that to mean they're not going to get many Android converts.
