iPhone 4 release (UK)
Yesterday marked the release of the iPhone 4 to the much anticipating public. Many stores were sold out of the iPhones in a matter of hours. Some stores like O2 were giving those upgrading their contract phones priority of the handset to those planning on buying the handset on pay-as-you-go. In a lot of the stores, contact details were taken down of those who were unable to grab themselves an iPhone yesterday and were told they would be notified as soon as it was back in stock. Some received the option of having the new iPhone delivered to their addresses in a couple of days.
The image you’re seeing above was taken on the corner of the Apple store in Regent Street, Oxford Circus, London(Because security were instructed to prevent pictures being taken at the front of the store). This should however give you an idea of how long the queue was. Hit the link below to see more photographs of people queueing in the hopes of getting an iPhone.
