3 more hours until iPhones!!!

[96ukssob]

Ugh, damn you Apple for being in California and having to wait until 3am EST to order the phone online... but sure beats trying to go to a store.



Go ahead an flame away Android lovers, but just sold my wife's old iPhone 4S for $300 and my iPhone 5 for $410... when was the last time you bought a phone and two years later worth MORE than what you paid

I really never had to pay for a phone since the first one came out, so still rolling the same $300 over and over for the past 6 years

Good luck to those waiting in line

I just ordered mine, says it will ship by the 24th. Last time I got it within a day of shipping. With my trade in and reduced monthly plan, I'm basically getting paid to switch to the new one. Not bad.

On the news today they were showing the long line at the A&T store.

I don't understand the burning desire to have the "newest" iPhone (or any phone for that matter). Does it look any different? Does it do anything different? Can it do anything my phone cannot?

Nope.

Why would a two year old used product be more than... The brand new one? That sort of says it all, doesn't it?

no, you get the phone at a nice discount when it comes time to upgrade. You spend 200 bucks and get the best phone and sell it for 400 and buy the next new phone at a discount next year for 200 or 300 (retail 700) and keep doing that.
So each year you make a couple hundred bucks and keep getting the newest phone at the same time.

not really, the full cost of the phone is factored into your contract.

I recently finished a phone contract, kept my old phone so renegotiated and saved 50%

We understand that you don't have the money to buy the upgrades, but some of us do.

this is probably why I have stuck with the iPhone from the start. even an old 16GB 4s sold easy for $300. yeah, you have to keep renewing agreements, but you would anyway getting any other phone too.

downside is AT&T removed their annual upgrade for biz customers, so now its every 20 months.

the new "upgrade anytime" solutions from AT&T and Verizon are a blatant RIP OFF as you don't get any discounts on the monthly service and paying full price for the phone

You bought something subsidized by your monthly payments, and then you're laughing that you can sell it for more than the... subsidized price?

Unlike your iPhone...I don't foresee the need to resell my Galaxy4 within 2 years.

Homeless iPhone fight in Pasadena: 'It was crazy,' witness says


Pasadena police escort a man, holding Apple's new iPhone 5s, outside the Pasadena Apple store.
The man apparently hired homeless people to wait in line for him to purchase the new phones. (Gary Friedman / Los Angeles Times / September 20, 2013)

Witnesses at the Apple store in Pasadena said several fights broke out among people in line, and at one point one homeless man threw a cellphone at another.

"An argument would break out, then another argument -- it was crazy," said Tamara Grashian, 45, who was waiting in line for an iPhone 5s with her daughter. "I was a little nervous because we were a little close."

Security was beefed up after the arrests, with police officers and private security guards spread out across the sidewalk.

PHOTOS: iPhone lines, anticipation around world

Pasadena Police Lt. Jason Clawson confirmed that a fight broke out about 9 a.m. as a man left the store with multiple iPhones. Several homeless people said the man picked up dozens of people at homeless shelters downtown, drove them to Pasadena and promised to pay them $40 -- $20 for each iPhone voucher they were able to secure.

Clawson said the fight broke out when people who were in line and hired by the man began fighting with him because they said they weren?t being paid enough, Clawson said. Police escorted the man from the scene, he said.

?It didn?t go right. I stood out here all night,? said Dominoe Moody, 43, who said he was picked up along with several vanloads of people at a homeless mission.

Many of the homeless who had been hired to stand in line -- but later stranded at the store -- lingered near the store after the arrests, some hanging out on the corner across the street and a few continuing to stand in line. One homeless man was escorted out by an Apple employee after wandering into the store with no money, prompting a police officer to intervene and give him directions back to the Gold Line train station a few blocks away.

With new iPhones hard to come by on launch day, many Apple fans have gotten creative so they can secure a coveted phone.

Customers waiting outside the Apple store on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica on Thursday night were grumbling about a well-dressed man who had hired two unemployed men to wait in line for him.

The man, who said his name was Sam but declined to give his last name, said he worked at a "high-profile Santa Monica app company" and needed a new phone immediately because he had lost his phone recently.

He didn't want to wait overnight, however, and briefly considered hiring a line sitter on TaskRabbit -- a website that enables people to hire others for small errands -- "but it was too expensive."

Instead, he approached a couple of unemployed people hanging outside Barnes & Noble and offered them food and cash to wait eight hours in line.

"Just got them dinner," Sam said, gesturing to a bag of McDonald's on the floor, "and I'll be back at 5 a.m. tomorrow."

The move made him feel "a little guilty," but he said he would pay the men "a reasonable amount of money."

But after Sam left, one of the men he hired said no price had been set.

"We haven't talked about how much he's going to pay me. I'm hoping good money though," said the line sitter, who was hoping for $40 in addition to his burger. "Hopefully the guy will be generous."

Hundreds of people waited outside the Apple Store in Pasadena.

Interesting crowd...
