There's already a line at the Apple stores near me. Brave people, especially seeing as it's gonna be 48 tonight for a low. I'm not that hard core.
Interesting, and good to note.
Last year was my first iPhone (Sprint customer for years) so paranoia propelled me to get in line at about 3am the morning of.
I was approximately the 3rd person in line at that point but interestingly enough, the line only grew to about 20 by the time the store opened. In fact, I called my girlfriend who'd had a late night prior at about 7am to tell her the line wasn't long if she wanted to come down and just pick one up. Sure enough, she shows up about 7:30am and walked out of the store maybe 30 minutes later with her first iPhone.
The few of us who arrived extremely early were pretty confused by the seeming lack of interest or frenzy surrounding the release of the first iPhone on the Sprint Network...in retrospect, it was likely that the VAST majority of iPhone buyers just elected to skip the line and preorder. It's good to know that the stock on hand in the store is "first come, first serve" so my early spot in the line will almost surely guarantee my phone on Friday morning! Thanks for the info!
Oh, and BTW, the story refers to the main Sprint store in Eugene, OR if anyone reading is in the area and was curious as to the possible demand around here!
just like my post stated, I'm downtown Chicago! I know it'll be complete madness but I'm giving the AT&T store a try at about 6am or 6:30am.
Let me know if that's too early (or even late) lol
Serious Question.
Why?
Why did you people not preorder early Sept 14th?
Are you not wanting to use a credit card?
Is this some sort of weird thing you enjoy doing?
I'm being serious.

Have you never been to an Apple product launch? They're a good time.
Don't knock it til you've tried it.
So it's a social thing. No other reason to do this. Got it.

Except my reason. And I'm sure plenty of other individual personal reasons. Why you gotta hate?
I'm driving out the from Lakeland, closest one to me. 45 minute drive.
Ick. (I used to live in Plant City )
Looks like there is one in Brandon and one at International Mall, so Tampa might not be too terrible.
There is also one in Florida Mall and one in Millenia in Orlando. So maybe the Orlando people will stay over there and you might be okay with Brandon.
Good luck!
I have been to both places.
No Apple store in Lakeland? Hmmm I was just about to make the recommendation to go to Lakeland. lol
I will be at the Apple store in Rancho Cucamonga CA. They allowed you to line up about 6 in the morning. I was able to get the iPhone 4S no problem.
Haters gotta... well, you know,
