that's the funniest thing I've ever read on MR.. apple is the most locked down no choice firm going.. till last yr, one phone a yr to choose from, we won't count the 5c as a choice.. don't like safari, apple mail, apple maps. tough, they are the default , and boy you will learn to love them.. brilliant......but choice is AWESOME!
So people don't have alarm clocks to wake up and preorder? I've gotten every iPhone I've wanted, on release day, delivered to my door. If it's about the social aspect, then they can get on here and chat away with everyone around the world about the iPhone/apple, etc. If it's about the in-person social aspect, well, they need to get out more.

I actually didn't wake up until 2 hours after my alarm went off and was still able to get what I wanted. The phones aren't selling out as quick
That's cool! Yeah, we should chat sometime. I've read a few of your blog posts and they are very intriguing. The name change one I can relate to. Changed my last name in 2000 I think. Now thinking of changing it again. There is a history there - lol. Anyways, I do remember your TomTom post and the move. Good to hear about Laura and that things are going well for you.
I will bookmark your blog and keep an eye on it. Would be cool to meet you at some point as well! Need to keep in touch. Crazy how time flies. BTW - 30 is awesome!
It will suite you unless you really think you've already reached 50% of your life. Haha! It's funny, same thoughts rolled through my head.what do you take about with these like minded folk?. after you've exhausted colour, memory size and plus or non plus model, they are just strangers stood next to you also with very little of note going on in their lives...
There's people that do this to buy the penny notebooks at Staples. Okay, maybe not 18 hours before store open, but I saw people wait the night of.
As the quote says - choice is awesome! You choose what you want. iPhone, Android, Windows, Blackberry - whatever it may be. Always have choice.
i saw these guys today in birmingham. spoke to a girl in the apple shop and even she said the are sad.
and she works for apple.
and she works for apple.
I preordered. One minute after preorders started. My phone will be delivered sometime between 10/16 and 10/23.
I'm from the Netherlands and was able to simply reserve my iPhone 6s Plus in Germany. It was possible last year and it's possible this year.
Since oblivious.robot was wrong...

...so are you.
To me this was a marketing strategy...to make neighboring countries have it while the other doesn't. This creates one country's launch lines to be long because it's accommodating the other country. Human personalities are always trying to be like everyone else so they don't stand out, or to show off to their friends in their own country that doesn't have it. It boils down to getting "attention." Apple could easily launch it in all countries but they limit their supplies to create this "imaginary demand" and of course these select countries launches with their neighbors doesn't have it also creates this "imaginary demand." Personally, what Apple is doing is just making a fool out of everyone and everyone is falling for it like a herd of sheep following each other...silly, that's why this world is so broke. How many of you guys buying this iPhone 6s are paying by cash and how many by credit cards? If the ones by credit cards, do you have a zero balance on all credit cards and paying it off all purchases immediately? If you don't then you can't afford it, even a can of soda you can't afford if paying with credit
My beautiful rose gold iPhone will be arriving tomorrow. This is just complete BS. Why would anyone do this??? Lol I'd die!!!!!
Apple just re-open reserve to pick up in store like 3 hours ago in Australia. Lucky I didn't go to camping but woke up at 5 am and reserved to pick up at 1 pm.
Seem like there are a lot if stock. But not so good for this marketing. It's like they back stabbing the people who camping over night at the store.

It can be fun. Like minded people, or at least it used to be that way when smart phones were more of a techie thing. Local stores will give out free stuff, or take orders for coffee for those in line. You get your stuff day one from the store. It is an experience that is different from signing a device from the FedEx guy and opening a brown box.
I don't like sports, wouldn't take free tickets to any game including the superbowl and don't own a single article of sports team branded clothing, but I understand why others are into it. It's their thing.
iPhones are some peoples thing.
