Among the features customers were most excited about: the triple-camera system on the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. "Instead of buying a new camera, I prefer to upgrade my phone," said Tarif Karanfil, who started waiting in line around 6am Friday morning to upgrade from the iPhone 7 to the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

Wasteful. Suspect 99% already have well functioning IPhones. Wonder how many will be heading directly from the store to the Global Warming strike?

I know people do this every year, but I think Apple is going to sell more iPhones than last year because lots of people just upgraded batteries for $29 on older iPhones during the last scandal. Lots of people upgrading finally from Touch ID iPhones.

It's people's choice, they are expecting for that 'early adopter' 'I got it first' feeling or just want to proud with it as a proof of status.

people are stupid.

Weird

My current phone has been pressing itself all morning 🤔 Apple with its tricks. Need to get it for the sake of peace.
