Waiting at home/work for FedEx beats lining up with the (other) iTards.

Probably people just aren't as impressed with yet another iPhone model anymore.

I think it is more likely you can just order it online...plus there aren't many upgrade options...I can't upgrade until next Feb...and this bump isn't quite big enough to justify $500.

The fact that there are any people waiting in line for essentially a better camera and a faster chip (remember that the other cool stuff is in the OS which is a free update to older phones) is a surprise to me.

The line in Reno at 5am was even shorter, lucky me!

Its the 3rd iteration, a lot of the novelty has worn off. I actually find it impressive that their remains this much devotion.

I can't understand why anyone queues up for the Iphone or any other gadget, what difference does a couple of days make ?
