Lines are curving around the buildings but this is by design…
Troubles with 8.0.1 were fixed within hours.

That could be hannahjs (nice avatar by the way) OR it could be that people are getting wise as how tech jouranalist bend the truth and love to drop the soap.
We’ll leave the /shjtt tag off between you and me so I’ll just add a wink and a nudge nudge.
Apple is back up over 100, just a FUD bump on the highway.
Was the millionth iPhone user who sat on his phone a human being or an animal?
Meanwhile, I am one of those waiting patiently in the 10 (?) million orders long 7-16/09 virtual queue. Ho hum.
Same here. Placed an order at 6am two Fridays ago and my order’s still processing. But after having played with the iPhone 6 Plus a few times, it’s worth the wait.
