So its 2:30pm Cali time and these bad boys start selling in the stores and online in 30 minutes east coast time. I wonder if I can order online here in Cali even though it is only 3pm. Anyone know?

6pm PDT 4 Online Store.
 
6pm PDT 4 Online Store.

So it looks like us west coasters may be sol if we need to order online as the rest of the country has a 3 hour head start online. I just came back from the Mission Viejo Apple store and their are already almost 300 people waiting in line with 3 hours to go. This is nuts. I hope Apple has the stock to meet demand.
 
Photos in public places

There are probably still under a hundred people here. The reason you can't see the line is because I can't put photos up without people's consent, and I happened to get lucky with a shot with hardly any people in it.

My girlfriend and I are 17th and 18th in line, been here since 7:40am :D

The line is decent already, but I think people getting here at 4PM needn't worry about scoring an iPhone this evening. Good luck to all! :)

EDIT: here's the Easton Meetup Thread... https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/317470/

No, no one can order from Apple Store Online till 6PM PDT. So, since I am in NoVA I can't order an iPhone till 9PM my time.
 
lines in malls

how are they managing the lines in malls? I'm sure neighboring stores aren't letting them just block their entrance, so are the lines forming outside or something??
 
I was just told by a friend who works at a company owned ATT store that the store allotment is 90 units per store. There are going to be some pissed off people who waited in line only to be turned away because of 0 stock.
 
Here it is :)

if that's true, it probably only pertains to the ATT specific stores and not apple stores. tell him to get out of line and run to the nearest apple store:confused:
 
do you think that the calendar icon on the homescreen of the iphone will actually show the real date or will it be stuck like July 17th on the tiger dock?

There's a new naming convention being introduced with iPhone, so today will officially be Jan 1st, tomorrow Jan 2nd, and so on. :)

Better question: do you think it will be perpetually 9:42?
