I’ll be honest with you, I pre-ordered Anna’s and my iPhones first thing yesterday morning because I wanted to make sure I got the models we wanted (16 GB black for me, white for her), and that we would get them this coming Friday.
I was planning to reserved our iPhones for pick up at the local Apple retail store, but that wasn’t an option this time around. And so this is the first year I won’t be waiting in line to pick up a new iPhone.
