Apple fans have lined up overnight in Boston to get their hands on Apple’s new smartphone as the the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus wqs released Friday.
Doors at the Apple Store on Boston’s Boylston Street opened at 8 a.m. and the line reached several hundred feet long. Some people waited in line almost a week for the phone.
It was only iPhone 6 sales from 8 to 10 a.m. After 10, all other items in the store were for sale.
This new device was introduced by Apple last week. The phones are the largest Apple's ever made, and maybe the company's best-selling. At the beginning of this week, Apple said that preorders in the first 24 hours topped 4 million.
But sadly for all the people in lines here across the United States, they will be among the last to get the iPhone in the world on launch day. The phones were already launched in Australia and China. And of course they'll be in Germany, France and the UK before they come across the pond to the U.S.
The rule is that people can only get two iPhones, partly because of the huge resale market. Many people we talk to are planning to do just that.
