Happens ever year... is it going to be the NYC store or somewhere else? Will anyone even line up/camp out anymore?
 
I was actually just wondering about this myself. It has been YEARS since I purchased an iPhone on launch day and was just coming here to ask if people still line up and does Apple still sell phones in store on launch day.
 
Why line up if and when you already secured one for launch day for home delivery? But yea those days are nice tho, I only did it once for the 6 Plus but after that decided not to do that again.
 
The people who don’t have a reservation still have an incentive to line up. Apple Stores have stock for walk ins, separate from the preorder/reserve stock.

Because your significant other doesn’t tell you that she wants either the pro or pro max until 12 hours after preorders began.

Not speaking from experience or anything…

The scalpers who use to buy a ton to sell back home in a foreign country won't be out since there's no sim card.
