SoHo is one of the worst ones actually. I use to work there. I do agree with Grand Central being a good option and also the UES store.

I think they would, you'd get hungry waiting that long.
Make as many friends as you can ahead of you, and be like Homer, where u keep cutting ahead till you become the first in line.
You line up outside 42st main door of grand central I believe. I did asked the Apple employee. After 5.30am they will bring you guys inside around the north pass way.
Try this. Go wait in line for 3 days, when you get in the store say you are "...just browsing.".
It's not really that 'unbelievable'. It's just you don't see the appeal in doing it. But for those who do this, obviously have a passion for the majority and there is nothing wrong with that.
I'd wait in line for a week for a new Mac mini or Mac Pro.
Not wasting my time on iPhone face scan edition.

Had exactly your situation with my 6s. for some reason I asked for gold color (stupid idea
) but delivery was painfully far far far away. By "accident" I stepped into ATT store on Michigan ave and after trying to make fun by asking - can I have new iPhone - very wide smile on the lady's face replied me - color and size please?!I was in shock
but it took them about 45 minutes to cancel my previously placed online order to get me eligible to get upgrade again. So, I walked into the store around 7:15 pm, store closing at 8 pm .... Happy me, left this amazing store at ~8:30 pm with shiny gold (!) iPhone 6s.So, short answer - with ATT - yes they can cancel your online order. But I am not sure Apple store can do this with order placed via carrier's web site.
I will most likely line up somewhere in LA. Not sure where, but I want that phone bad. Apple screwed up and cancelled my initial order so I have a mid dec delivery date. I'd rather not wait. I used to line up for COD releases when they were worth the trouble and before digital download.
Or you could take your hand and smack yourself on the face as hard as possible until you get some sense. #ProTip
Another agreement on Grand Central. I wonder if 5th will continue to be even more efficient in this smaller store (had no problems getting exactly what I wanted both times recently; however neither aligned with an iPhone launch.)
The iPhone X rollout reminds me of these classic Seinfeld episodes.
NO SOUP FOR YOU! But in this case, I don't even want it!
Touch ID back in 1 year. HO HO HO!

I've seen barriers/pylons for the 7+ last year in SoHo. I can't speak for the other places. SoHo will have a lot of Chinese people lining up to buy for the grey market, so try to get ahead of them if you can. Usually they are senior citizens who don't look that interested in the phone, but they hope to get some easy cash by helping the scalpers.
I don't know know anything about camping, but it would make sense to do it. I remember seeing people camping at the SoHo location last year.
SoHo and Grand Central will have the most stock, aside from 5th Avenue. But 5th avenue is under construction, and there will be press, and so on. UES won't have the same allotment as SoHo, GCT, 5th ave.
OLA!! HA! That's too funny. For those who don't know, Ola Englund is a shred metal guitarist from the band Feared. He has a pretty good YouTube channel, too.
Waiting in line for some piece of technology has got to be the most pathetic and disgusting thing a human being can do. Real first world problem, that you must be one of the first people to get a new phone. While in other parts of the world, people wait in line for food, and would look at people waiting for a cellphone as bat **** crazy with their priorities way out of whack.
The human race is doomed
I could understated pre ordering the phone online, and then having the phone delivered via the mail.

Except if you were among those for whom the online store only went up 10 min late. At that point the (silver 256GB) X was already 2-3 weeks.
That’s true, I️ heard there was a delay. That sucks, hopefully your ship date gets bumped up sooner!
I also had multiple devices/browsers/app open and ready for the pre-order. Apple’s website and the app did not become available until 3:10 am est. many people have reported experiencing this and other problems with the app and website.I had opened the App Store App on both iPhone and iPad, as well as the Apple Store on my Mac.
I was able to order on the iPhone with delivery 11/3 after one minute. On the Mac, the page showed up 11 minutes later, when delivery was already 2/3 weeks. Fastest preorder method was definitely the App Store App... you’ve preordered it wrong
