The X lines have started

[Macalway]

Nothing like camping out in a major city. Observe the wildlife 🙂

I always wonder what people do for work that can afford to wait for 3 days in line for a phone.

They don’t wait in line, they shift off. Doing it in shifts holds their place and is the best way to go.

No desire to camp out, but if memory serves me correctly, Apple stores receive IP stock at various times on and after launch date. There is a website that provides accurate data on inventory levels for each store. Hopefully it will be up and running by Friday.

On the apple site?

pitch your tent for some urban camping

I can see someone trying to put tent poles into the concrete.

Something like istocknow.com.
[doublepost=1509496395][/doublepost]How many of these campers do you think are the miles getting paid to get the phones and give them to a single person for black market sales?

All of a sudden waking up at 3AM to pre-order my phone and then going back to bed doesn't sound so bad, if this is the alternative.

I once saw a man spill coffee on himself while waiting in line for an iPhone.

I bet plenty of people are pitching a tent

I'm glad I matured to the point I would rather wait 6 weeks before ever camping out for an iPhone (again...lol).

Both.

In the case of Apple site (or App): go through the process of ordering a device, and you can see which local Apple Stores have inventory for you configuration (currently, Apple Store app is not showing any local inventory, only delivery 5-6 weeks out).

On and after launch day, Did the Apple store app allow the option of in store pick up on IP7 and IP6S? Definitely yes for IP6 but not sure about more recent models. Great if it is available this weekend because it provides real time inventory data and allows purchaser to lock it up.

Apple has let you check the night before for in-store availability after the most recent launches immediately, or pretty soon after, launches.

Why those people not make preorder and wait in lines

that kill your self

 

[OneMike]

I’ll never get this I’ve been an iPhone fan since it’s launch and tech fan as long as I can remember. Not staying in line that long.

 

[AdonisSMU]

I'm going to wait in line now. I want to be first.

Nothing in life is worth queueing more than 10 minutes for. Anything can be scheduled.

 

[BeefSupreme]

I waited in line for the first iPhone, but that was only for an hour and a half. Screw 3 or 4 days.

 

[mbguy4950]

...personally I love it. Glad to see excitement for any product.

 

[Dammit Cubs]

...i hope this doesn't happen in california, i was hoping to camp on thursday night....

 

[ericlin0122]

But that's just the beginning..
I expect even longer return lines, a few days after

lol have fun with your Samsung device. I always wonder why people would support Korean/Chinese company over American company, and wanna see apple fail? You know apple created lots of local jobs right?

That comment and your name are making me pitch a tent. 😛

 

[missbing]

Maybe they have COMP time? I have about five days stacked, but to use them on an iPhone release would not be ideal for me.

But how much money does your comp time represent? You may has well spend $2K for a phone on eBay and it would still be less than using 3 days of vacation time plus the cost of the phone.

Having read the reviews today, these lines are going to break all records.

Award-winning tech journalist Rene Richie says iPhone X is the best damn product Apple has ever made:

are you for real?

you're in NYC, right?

 

[Juan007]

The reviews are in and it's CONFIRMED that the X is by far the best phone you can buy. If you haven't pre-ordered for launch, it's definitely worth spending a few days in line to get one.

 

[adam1080]

Lol, the Apple Store I just went to tonight had 3 people in it... Turns out Halloween is a great night for shopping.

Also scored two iPhone X leather cases when one of the employees said they could sell them and others argued that they couldn't. Apparently the one that said they could sell them was more in charge than the others. The girl that sold them to me said their manager said "No," earlier and that I was lucky to get them. I agreed and got out of dodge...
