Waiting in line overnight outside Apple stores on big product release days has become a tradition among Apple enthusiasts. These gatherings tend to turn into something of a celebration.
When lining up for Apple's previous release, the iPhone 4S, people saw farm animals, large sums of money being turned down for a spot in line, and even Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, who joined the line in order to buy his own device. He even tweeted about the experience:
The long wait begins. I'm first in line. The guy ahead was on the wrong side and he's pissed. (@ Apple Store) 4sq.com/mT9C6V— Steve Wozniak (@stevewoz) October 13, 2011
Because stores open at 8 a.m. local time, customers in Australia have less than three hours left to wait.
