(AAPL)’s coveted iPhone are now the braggarts and guinea pigs for the latest must-have, cutting-edge piece of techno-wizardry. The doors of Apple and AT&T stores opened promptly at 6 p.m. EDT with cheers from employees and eager customers.
“I’m glad it’s over,” said Carlos Sanchez, 19, at the Apple Fifth Avenue store in New York City, clutching shopping bags containing two iPhones - the maximum allowed per person. “I don’t have to sleep outside anymore.”
Techies, exhibitionists and luminaries - even the co-founder of Apple and the mayor of Philadelphia - were among the inaugural group of iPhone customers.
