I dropped by the Apple Store at The Summit to take a look at the line of folks waiting to purchase a new iPhone… it goes on sale at 6:00 p.m.
Actually, I will use just about any excuse to go by the Apple Store; since I purchased my MacBook Pro in the summer of 2006 I have become quite an Apple “fan boy”… the only problem is that I spend too much money when I go in there.
When I pulled up there was a Brinks truck in front of the store; I had to wonder if they were delivering the new batch of iPhones. Turned out it was a routine stop; I think the iPhone shipment is due a little later this afternoon.
The line was long; these people arrived at 6:00 a.m. today when security officers at The Summit allowed it to form. Folks in the line were in a very good mood despite the summer heat; employees from the Apple Store brought them water, and Panera Bread actually took food orders and delivered lunch to everyone in the line who wanted it. In the line there was quite a diversity of people; lots of college students, one mother/daughter team, and some older people as well.
If you are getting an iPhone tonight or over the weekend, please let us know your experience…. maybe write a review so we can post it here on the blog!
