Congrats and thank you for making me even jealous err excited!
Interesting. I ordered my son's at 3.30am EST from ATT and its arriving tomorrow....I was able to order my wife's from the iPhone app at 3.20am EST. It's arriving tomorrow as well.
I heard that the 4S has gotten sluggish after the iOS 8 update.
What about the 5c? Did you update yours? It is fine?
Why????
I am confused as to why anyone would have to have the latest iPhone, is it a fashion statement? No wonder why there are so many broke people in this country......This brings to mind a quote about broke people ...... people who buy things they don't need , with money they don't have, to impress people they don't know.

can't wait to get to the store and smell all those men and their BO. Im sure they have been sitting outside for days without a shower. Maybe apple can throw in a stick of deodorant for these people 
Need help
Anyone knows if i can buy an unlock version in the apple store or this is only for carrier version?

I have an LG G3, and it fits in my pockets just fine. I guess you just have tiny pockets?
Though I do think the lining up thing is kind of silly, but indicative of our societies today. People need to be lining up like that to vote or speak out against things, instead they are lining up to buy a gadget.
I live near the Apple store that sells the most iPhones in the entire US. No way am I even going near that place.

So, Mom and Dad didn't come through, huh. Don't forget to brush your teeth, wash behind your ears, and say your prayers every night and maybe, just maybe, there'll be something in your Christmas stocking.
Ha. Tell that to so many (scalpers / business entrepreneurs / almost broke going for broke LOL) who "worked" hard in that line LOL so they can sell it for big money. From being almost broke to chi chingggg!!! Fashion statement? Impress people? Look who are going to laugh all the way to their banks.
On the other hand, for the love of gadgets ...
It would be safe to assume that any and all available staff will be processing the customers in the queue, in the order they arrived, regardless of the product they wish to purchase. If your store allows for EasyPay, I'm sure you can go in and buy it. No queue
I think people who have pre-ordered are getting nervous for no reason. I think 99% of the people who will be in line did not pre-order.
I know about 20 of my friends who want to get an iPhone tomorrow. Out of those, I'm the only one who has a pre-order.
Want to talk about math?
- 4,000,000 units pre-ordered either delivery or home.
- 9 countries (we'll guess the US made up for half, 2,000,000 units)
- Based on comments on here, it appears at least 75% of the people who pre-ordered are having them delivered, leaving about 500,000 to be picked up in stores.
- This means playing the averages, each store has about 1000 in-store pickups.
That's not even taking into account these numbers are probably really high, because it's likely that the big stores got way more, meaning the not so big stores got way less. So from a pre-order standpoint, you may be seeing 100-200 people show up in the morning, then 200-300 throughout the day, then the other 200-300 over the weekend. The whole point of pre-ordering is to not stand in that absurd line...
