I mentioned on Friday 20 September - new iPhone day - how great tit would be to get pics from people who braved lines for a new communicator. People did not disappoint.

Jacobi sent a few pics from Houston’s remodeled Highland Village location. He wasn’t sure he’d make the store’s re-opening, due to the storms hitting the area last week. On Friday, we wrote in, saying:
I live about 2 miles from the Apple Store, and made it there around 7 AM where there was a line... even a guy with a sleeping bag (still figuring out when he got there as we just had a major storm ). Anyway, it was to see all my friends that work for Apple who had disbursed to other stores during the remodel — and had a great time basking in the glow of the new store — and even got to chat with the crew that supply and maintain the trees at the stores! I stayed a couple hours, sitting through a few Today At Apple sessions (which were all basically about the iPhone 11 camera), went back home before the rain started up again… All-in-all, it was a good day.

Merf was traveling in Berlin when he snapped this iPhone 11 day line. He wrote:
We happened upon it as we were walking to get breakfast Friday morning. Took me a second to understand what all the crowds were about since we’ve been in Europe for a week and I am behind my MacOSKen podcasts. Didn’t realize it was iPhone 11 launch day since I was sitting this year out (fingers crossed for USB-C next year).

Scott hit me on Twitter to say, “Apple Topanga, Apple Northridge and Apple Sherman Oaks Fashion Square all have lines.” Not sure which one this was, but thanks for the pic!
Gary sent a shot from New Orleans (above), saying, “730 at night still a very decent line outside the Apple Store in New Orleans Louisiana.”

Don C. was in NYC. He sent several shots from Apple’s newly re-opened Glass Tabernacle, including video of Apple CEO Tim Cook (screenshot below).

Don’s POV:
Here is a glimpse of the scene, right at 8 am for the Apple Fifth re-opening... amazing after all these years, Apple still draws crowds with passion, love and eager wallets....

Richard W. (@rbwaia on Twitter) hit me with this pic, saying, “I was in NY for business... decided to go ahead and burn thru my stand goal on the watch ... and get an iPhone 11 Pro while I was at it ;-)”
Tremendous pic, Richard! Thanks!
