Do people still do the camp out thing?Agreed, and I understand that many people enjoy the experience of pre-ordering and/or camping overnight outside of Apple Stores. I’m just not one of those people...
I like preordering because it’s exciting during the week between the preorder and picking it up (I won’t do delivery anymore after the UPS guy lobbed my 7+ onto my balcony). I know what exactly I’m going to get so I can start looking for the perfect case. This time around I opted for a 6:00-6:30 window for pick up because I wasn’t sure I’d get the day off from work. I ended up getting it off so I ran errands and had brunch with my girlfriend to keep my mind off of it lol. I got there 30 minutes early and they let me in after about a 5 minute wait after I signed in.09-22-2019 10:51 AM -
- There’s no doubt that excitement plays a big role in regard to pre-ordering and that’s okay. Like you, I arrived at the Apple Store a few minutes early and was let inside within minutes. As stated above, I was in and out in about 15 minutes. The store was packed, but people were mostly looking around. There were a good deal of tourists inside, too.09-22-2019 11:06 AM
- Yep! My store was packed as well. I couldn’t tell if most people were looking around or waiting for the sales reps to bring out their devices from the back. My guy had me stand at the corner of a display table since that was the only place to stand lol. And that was at 5:30pm! I bet it was a madhouse earlier in the day.There’s no doubt that excitement plays a big role in regard to pre-ordering and that’s okay.

Even though I wouldn’t camp out for a phone (especially now since I doubt there’s the party atmosphere like in previous years) it would be kinda cool to be there in the morning for the countdown.09-22-2019 11:11 AM - I’m excited about relaxing and not having to stand in a line.....but I get it. We all have different things that get us up in the morning.There’s no doubt that excitement plays a big role in regard to pre-ordering and that’s okay.

- No doubt. The employee who assisted me said it was a mad house on Friday. They had the dark green iPhone on display all over the store and a good deal of people were buying it because it was the newest color. The store was packed while I was there but appeared to mostly be people checking thing out. The appointment line moved along quickly, thank GOD. I was already tired after being in outside in that heat watching my son play football and being there 2 hours before game time so I wanted to be in out of the Apple Store as quickly as possible and I was obliged...09-22-2019 11:32 AM

- I didn’t finally decide to get the new iPhone until Tuesday the 17th. And then I ordered it through Verizon‘s app. It has always said that it would be the 27th before I would get it but I was really hoping for sooner! There has been no update so far. I wish I could go to the Verizon store and see if they have any in stock now and see if I could just pick it up instead of waiting for it to be delivered, but I don’t think that’s possible since it didn’t give me that option to begin with.
I’m not very good at waiting!

If you pre-ordered and are still waiting, are you upset....?
