“Six months after the launch of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, those smartphones are still attracting long lines at Apple stores in Hong Kong, Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Brian White reported Monday,” Seitz reports. “‘The two Apple retail stores we visited in Hong Kong were jam-packed over the weekend with consumers waiting in long lines to purchase the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus,’ White said in a research report. ‘At one of the Hong Kong stores, the line began outside the Apple store and wound around the inside with an estimated wait time of 1.5 hours to 2 hours, while the other Apple store in Hong Kong had an estimated wait time of over an hour.'”
