I remember a friend who wanted Airpods really badly and got it after months. Sometimes waiting is just not worth the time it takes and lining up can be worth it. People do it for Apple products all the time. I guess either a lot of people have mixed priorities, or they are scalpers.

I also waited 6 months in order to have my Airpods and guess what? I survived....
 
So I take it no one will be lining up for iPhone 8?
Given how late the X is going to be released, I wonder if there will even be a line for the X? Thoughts?

I think I will have to line up for the X now... unless I decide to get an 8 on Friday.

Are you some sort of bot?
 
I will not line up Overnight for a Cell Phone Ever Again. I did it once for the 6+ launch it was not bad, but I would never do it again. There is no point its so easy to pre-order why Stand in Line.

As the question states... if iPhone X is all of what you feel it will be... will you be lining up outside the Apple Store to get one given supply will be limited? If so, have you lined up before for other phones or will it be your first time?
Preorder as usual. Those who line up overnight are bound for disappointment big time.

Remember what happened to 7 Plus preorders o.o the dude who lined up got told it was sold out so he settled for less (sydney store australia)

I will definitely try and preorder. The last time I waited over night was when I went from the 3G to the iPhone 4. If I don’t get a launch day shipping day. I might wait at a Apple store. My wife would think I’m crazy.. lol

Are you some sort of piss-on-users troll? :p

I am really concerned about the press on launch day supply of the X, I think I may follow the same, will attempt to preorder and if I get unlucky... line up.
 
I get unlucky... line up.

LOL, it won't be available for walk-in customers, just like there was no (yes, not even a single one) Jet Black iPhone and 7+ (all colours) available for walk in customers last year.

Your only option is to pre order and wait, or pony up extra cash and buy it from scalpers on eBay.
