Happy launch morning West Coast USA!

First in line at the Las Vegas Town Square Apple Store. They’re inside getting everything ready going to be seeing what everybody wants at about 6 AM.

Hoping for my 1 TB Pro Max in blue and an iPad mini😇

Good luck everybody!

Got here and about five minutes later we already have a couple people in line. We’ll see in about 20-30 mins.

Had a day off school so I thought why not have a little bit of nostalgia

People still wait in line?

Wow, I've not had too much issues just walking up to a VZW store and buying what I want ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Kind of fun. Had some good conversations about which features we are most excited about. 😅

Yeah remember when the 6 plus came out must have been 300 people.

The Apple Store
I didn't think they'd even have a line, I thought it would just be pickups only with how things have gone the last couple years (and the Burberry lady Angela basically saying no to the lines). I wonder if anyone's at my local store...

Well guys, I didn’t end up with my terabyte phone but I managed to snag a 512 GB might as well upgrade next year with the supposed hole punch display. 😅

Plus I was able to grab a 256 cellular iPad mini and there is a $200 rebate at T-Mobile. Check it out.

Turned out the people behind me were even limited down to 128 GB models. 😨Benefit to be in first in line.

I remember back in the day when waiting in line was a major event, I walked by my local Apple Store in Boston on my lunch hour, and the lines were crazy long. I strolled one block down the street to one of those small verizon stores, that seemed to be in a space no larger then a supply closet and walked out with an iPhone. Seems my experience then is only becoming more typical, though the manufacturing/shipping woes that the pandemic caused may certainly play into supply issues for the iPhone 13.

The one across from the Pru on Boylston? I've waited in that line before and yes, it did get super long!

There’s plenty available for in store pick up if you order through the phone for those who don’t want to line up. I just placed my order for today pick up.

Yep, that's the one, go a bit further down on Boylston, and there's this small VZW store. Walk a few more blocks there's a large VZW store on Wash. street as well.
