Neither was I; I live about 3 states and 500 miles away! :laughing:
I do agree with diaz2010 though that an area like that should warrant more than 1 gold 64GB iPhone 5s. If the first 2 in line both wanted it, there undoubtedly were many more behind them that did too. Of course, Apple didn't know who would be in line and what they'd want, but with their demographics research I'm surprised they didn't have more available. Maybe the supply was short enough of that precise phone that 1 was all they could spare for that particular store.
Either way, I don't think I would settle for anything other than what I was after if it can be had by waiting a couple weeks. Most users will use the phone they got for the next 2 years. Is it worth compromising to get it a couple weeks earlier?
I agree that after spending that much time in line I will not settle for a different color than what I wanted. For now I have the space grey model and the store is going to call me when they get the gold in so that I can exchange.
However, I am still disappointed in the way that Apple handled this launch. If someone would have told me before Friday that an Apple launch would be this big of a disaster I would have laughed in their face... This is not the Apple that Steve worked for many years to build back up...
