Line Starts at 5th Avenue Apple Store

Friday July 4, 2008 5:54 pm PDT by Arnold Kim
Engadget reports that a line has already formed at the 5th Avenue Apple Store. The motivation behind lining up so early doesn't seem to be to try be the first to get the iPhone 3G. Instead, it appears they simply want to break a world record for standing in line. In fact, based on the interview, I'm not even sure they know much about the iPhone.


Besides, Apple Retail stores have not yet announced when they are going to start selling the iPhone 3G. The iPhone 3G will go on sale at 8:00 a.m. local time on July 11th at AT&T stores.

Pretty sad.

Really? Come on. If they would give me one for free I would not wait in line for more than two hours.

I waited in line for the first iPhone for maybe 4-5 hours, and that was all that was really needed.

WTH? They plan to wait in line a week with a baby?! In the sun! That's sick!

I won't wait more than 30 minutes to an hour with my almost 2yo, and that's really pushing it. She'll be going nuts after about 15 minutes.

Amen! I have a two year old as well! 3-4 minutes max.
