I have zero clue why anyone would "line up". Log on, choose to pick up in the store, and walk in. Seems like a pretty novel concept to me.

word on the street is the in store pickup option isnt available on launch day, or for the first few days afterwards.

Just go in and get one but if there is more than one Apple Store in your general area than go to the biggest
 
From what I’ve noticed around my city there should be plenty of stock this year for the 8 and 8 Plus. I don’t think there’s really any reason anyone needs to be anywhere before the store opens.

I don’t even believe pre orders were necessary this year. That said I’m excited to get my iPhone 8 Plus tomorrow and play around with it until the next phone I decide on comes out next month

This always happens . . . people (including me) pre order; as close to midnight PST as possible. Miss the launch delivery date. Then someone posts, here, how they just walked into a store (launch day) and picked one up. :D

Did you miss the launch day delivery this year as well? I did t think much of them went past launch
 
The 8 is not rare. You guys had a week to order a SIM Free unit to pick up at the store. If you didn't, you should go to the store and buy a 6s.
