Some of us weren't as lucky as you. The Apple store page was down for over an hour after preorders were supposed to open up, as well as the Verizon app and Apple store app not working for me at all.
Thats 4 more than what my store had. They only had ONE 64GB ATT which magically disappeared from 10pm at night when they told us they got 1 in and 6am when they started handing out cards.
Yeah, it's going to be definitely hard. The 6+ 64GB model will be tough to get.. especially the Space Gray. I know I plan to get whatever 6+ 64GB model I can get.. whether it's Gold or White/Silver.
Less populated areas will have fewer phones. My ATT store in my little hick town will have 13 total between all of the models.
I've lined up twice at an Apple Store in a major mall. Both times I got there around 7-8am and the line was already about 250-300+ deep. Both times I was able to get a phone on launch day.
This year, I will be going to my UPS service branch to pick up my phone from will call at 8am on launch day.

Corporate ATT store. Big ATT sign above the door and nothing else. 6 or 8 employees with 4 pay stations.
Was the device you got on those launches the "popular" model that year? i.e. gold last year
Probably sometime in 2017. I'm not the kind of guy to be first in line and I always operate one generation behind. Didn't mean for that to rhyme but I suppose it did. Can someone who's very into owning a piece of technology the second it comes out explain to me what the rush is all about? Not being a jerk, just literally don't get it.
Go on AT&T website. Use store locator, then find that store. It'll say corporate or authorized retailer.
I have 5 stores near me but only one is a corporate location. They all are dedicated AT&T stores.
I'm asking to see if corporate stores are getting better stock numbers than retailers
I've never personally lined up, but it's not that difficult to understand the appeal. You really like something and you would like to get it the moment it comes out. Add to that the inevitable camaraderie and perhaps experience of camping out in unique circumstances. I'm sure some people have the time and find it fun. More power to them.
Well I get the base desire to have something you want immediately, but are there any interesting benefits to owning one of these phones day one minute one? Thrill of unboxing, pre-packaged new iOS? Or is it mostly people just flipping them?
