Apple CEO Tim Cook Visits Fifth Avenue Store as iPhone 11 Launch Day Continues Around the World

Friday September 20, 2019 7:23 am PDT by Joe Rossignol
iPhone 11 and Apple Watch Series 5 launch day is now underway in the United States and Canada, with deliveries beginning to arrive to customers. Apple Stores are also opening early at 8 a.m. local time in each country to accommodate in-store pickups and walk-in purchases on a first-come, first-served basis.

Apple's CEO Tim Cook and retail chief Deirdre O'Brien attended the grand reopening of the company's newly revamped Fifth Avenue store in Manhattan today, posing for photos with customers and joining in the launch day excitement.


All of the new iPhone 11 and Apple Watch Series 5 models should be on display at most Apple Stores starting today for customers to try out. And as first noted by Mark Gurman, Apple has installed lit-up "11" and "Pro" window displays at select stores for the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro.

Yes, a Pro sign. Because nothing says Pro like wasting your time waiting in line to buy the "latest and greatest" product that has marginal improvements, while completely abandoning their "Pros" in all their product lines from servers, to desktops, to laptops.

Looks like a Moto Z4. Maybe he wants to rid of the audio jack and go with a bigger notch. Someone at Apple forgot coffee when approving that picture.



Maybe he’s tired of the slow camera, lagging when doing intensive tasks, waiting for security updates, data mining by Google, losing support after 2 years, waiting forever for the next version of Android (‘if’ he even gets it) the unreliable fingerprint sensor or the Mods that don’t always fit/work as intended.

He could buy a new 2 year old iPhone 8 for $429 (less than a new Z4 by $70) and it would run circles around his Z4.
