Well Canada, iPhone 4 launch day is almost here. It’s going live tomorrow, and Apple has let it be known when their store doors will open.
7AM on July 30th is the time. Bring your fold out chairs and blankets to camp out at your local Apple Store location tonight, because I can guarantee you’re going to see a lineup. For those of you crazy enough to do so, you can probably look forward to some nourishment from Apple staffers an hour or so before the doors open (I’ve witnessed Apple handing out water and treats to those in line on numerous occasions)… still… pack a lunch.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that things go smoothly, and that enough iPhones will be available to those that want them. If supply runs out, I trust Apple’s successful reservation system will be cued up and ready to go. Speaking from experience (I reserved an iPad), the reservation system is a godsend. You reserve the product via your iTunes account, and Apple emails you when the product arrives and is in-store for pickup. When you arrive, you’ll no doubt be greeted by a staffer, and when you mention the reservation and give them your name… they scoot to the back of the store, pickup your product, and whisk you through checkout. Any questions or demos you need walked through will be taken on as well. I really do have to give a tip of the cap to Apple staffers when it comes to this.
ANYWAYS, I veered off on a bit of a tangent there. Canada. 7AM tomorrow. iPhone 4. Pack a lunch. Be there… Or you could be like me, and wait for the madness to die down a bit. I think I’ll watch from afar, and creep my way into some iPhone 4 goodness a little later on. Maybe next week?
