That's some Americans for you.

Hope the waits worth it.

I've even heard of people in lines purely to 'sell' their place inline.

I expect as soon as the UK iPhone users get wind of whats happening in the US, they will start pitching their tents outside the London store.....?

This is my first time experiencing the Apple frenzy of new releases

Contrary to what some may think as this being an American phenomenon, it's bound to have a copycat effect in the UK, if last year is anything to go by.

Yes...I indicated as much in my first post bambino... I expect people in the UK will go straight from the Rock festivals currently underway...and pitch their tents outside Apple stores in preparation....

I've seen people wait outside o2 shops the night before but that was when O2 were the only ones who sold iPhones.

The Trafford centre and Manchester Arndale was besieged last year...

It's the same every year, only this year will most likely be worse, as Apple has finally decided to catch up to all the other phone manufacturers and produce a phone with a bigger screen. The mind boggles with the innovation.

Careful, you'll have some numbskull thinking Apple is making a phone out of toffee.
