Open thread: iPhone lines around the world – send us pics! (with photos)

If you’re in an iPhone line right now, good luck – especially if you’re looking for a Gold iPhone 5s. Those babies are going to be harder to find than, er… gold.

Anyway, where are you (city and state, please)?

How many others are there with you (estimate the best you can)?

Also, how’s your weather? Are you wet or dry? Where are you sleeping or are you planning on sleeping?

Is Woz there with you?

Let us know in the comments below and email us a photo and we’ll post the good ones into this article.

Steven C. is first in line at AT&T Mobility in Dover, Delaware and, so far, the only one in line. If you’re close to this one, you might want to head on over. One caveat: The store confirmed the only color they have for 5S so far is Space Gray, no Silver or Gold, but they do have all three storage sizes in stock:

  1. I just waited in line for an hour, still an hour befor opening, when the “genius” happens to mention that ‘by the way, no gold models available”. WTF. What a waste product. Desperate times are showing.

    1. well then, best git the heck outta line, head directly to the nearest clinic and see if they have something for your glaring spoiled entitlement. No promises made, none kept.
      I salute your loyalty and taste, but I’m absolutley positive you’ll live until a Gold version can be found, just for you.

  2. Just got back from being at the Apple Store in Grand Rapids where they had ZERO gold 5s’ and only a few silver actually only 64gb Sprint. We left after many hours really disappointed as I am sure many did.

  3. Very unhappy with T-Mobile and Apple. For whatever reason, the T-Mobile store I waited at had ZERO 5S iPhones. They said that Apple held back supply of all 5S’s to carrier partners for two weeks. Very unhappy. First time iPhone buyer, last time I will wait on launch day for anything Apple.

  4. I experienced no line at all. At 4PM after everyone had long gone home, I tried Best Buy, Target, WalMart, and my local AT&T Store. AT&T happened to have exactly what I needed: the 64GB iPhone 5s in Space Grey. I got out of there with a free case and Lightening cable all for under $290 with trade-in of 32B iPhone 4s.

  5. Not standing in line, (took the day off to paint 3 new doors today while The Huz worked overtime) but getting one this weekend for the Step-son to finally end his “Droid Regret” purchase. HA! That was punishment enough for not listening to me when I told him to get an iPhone—being stuck with a Droid for 2 looong years. And he had the best one available at the time.

  6. Привет всем!
    Помогите выбрать нормальную кухонную плиту с духовкой до 400$
    В магазинах очень много разных брендов, незнаю какую выбрать.
    Размер 50×60 электроподжиг я так поняла есть сейчас во всех моделях.
    У друзей BEKO поржавела через 3 года после покупки, так что BEKO отпадает, хотя в магазине меня уверяли что раньше чем лет через 15-20 ржаветь ничего не будет ). Вообщем незнаю, единственное что привлекает в BEKO это стоимость.

    В одном магазине говорят берите Gorenje,
    в другом говорят Nord в третьем Hotpoint-Ariston.
    Так на каком все – таки остановится?
    Мне безумно нравится Ariston C 34S цвета металлик, но он за небольшими пределами моего бюджета, но возможно смогу понятнуть.
    Помогите советом, я кухонные плиты никогда не покупала. Хочется купить и что бы не ржавела и хорошо работала много лет.

  7. Библейский плод – это метафора Истины.
    Знание Истины – это признак духовной зрелости.
    Когда на смену вере приходит знание –
    на смену религии приходит Истина.
