Let’s get some feedback from anyone out there in the mean streets of Appleville, waiting in line for an iPhone. We want pics, videos, sketches, audio, or anything else you want to send us! We’ll update this post as more content rolls in. Send whatever you got to iphone at boygeniusreport dot com For now, where is everyone at, or thinking about going to try and hit up some iPhone stock? We’ll be personally at a couple locations across the country. Check out the pictures everyone is sending in after the jump, and leave locations and reports from where you are in the comments!
From Gamze, in New York City: 8 Hours away, outside of a mid-town AT&T store. Only a few people waiting here, and around 100 or more at the 5th Ave store. Around 10:30 AM EDT.
Fulton Street AT&T store, Brooklyn, NY: Around 12 people. 1:00 PM EDT.
From Daniel, in Emeryville, CA. "About 100 people in line. Asked Apple employees how many phones they had, and they said enough." Around 1:28 PM PDT.
From Ken, at an AT&T store in Linwood Plaza in Ft. Lee, New Jersey. Around 30 people in line. 1:41 PM EDT.
From Winster, at an AT&T store in Clifton, NJ. Around 2:10 PM EDT.
From our very own Joshua Karp, in Seattle, Washington. "Probably 60-75 people." Around 11:39 AM PDT.
From Christopher, at an AT&T store in Delray Beach, Florida. About 30 people in line. 2:50 PM EDT
From Jason, at an Apple store in Northbrook Court, IL. "I’m sitting at the Apple Store at Northbrook Court – arrived at 9:30am and I’m number 41 in line. They have a corral set up, which is now full, and a second line has been started by mall security staff. Coldstone employees handed out ice cream samples, and Apple employees handed out free bottles of SmartWater at 12:15. Brookstone employees are selling foam cushions to sit on for $10. People have already offered me $200 for my spot in the line. Apple won’t release any information regarding quantity, but an employee did ask us not to hold spots for people who were not here waiting with us ( i.e. a friend joins the front of the line at 5 p.m.) The group of people is generally well-behaved, and a level of camraderie has already formed. Update: at 1:30 p.m. a second round of water was handed out by Apple employees." 1:58 PM CDT
From James, at an AT&T store in Columbia, South Carolina. About 15 people in line, all male. Around 3:15 EDT.
From Winster, at an AT&T store off RT 3, in Clifton, NJ again. "The manager came out and told us not to worry because they will have enough phone for us. There are around 60 people right now." Around 3:40 PM EDT
From Dave, at an AT&T store in Mansfield, New Jersey. They are "playing pranks on the line of 10 outside. Here is the manager Dina holding a "iPhone sold out sign’" So messed up! Around 4:05 PM EDT
From Chris, at the Lenox Road AT&T store in Atlanta, Georgia. "It is dismally hot, I’m getting sunburned, and I broke down and bought a 3G data card to keep myself entertained, but less than 2 hours to go!" Around 4:10 PM EDT.
From Adam, at an AT&T store in Smithtown, NY out on Long Island. "There are about 40 people in line, and the first person got here at 6:30 AM today. There is an Apple store 4 blocks from here in the mall and someone told me that the line in there is twice as long. Rumor has it that this AT&T store has about 50 or so iPhones inside, but the store employees won’t tell the people exactly. Hilarious!" Around 4:20 PM EDT
From John, at an Apple store in Pittsburg, PA. "About 150 people spanning about 7 store fronts" Around 4:30 PM EDT

From Scott, in Katy, Texas. "Less than 20 folks here in line at the Katy, TX AT&T store. Katy is just outside Houston." Around 4:55 PM CDT
Just an observation, but it appears that the East Coast stores already have their new at&t signs. I’m in LA and I have yet to see a former Cingular store with new at&t signs.
At 1330 MDT, there was no one in line at the at&t store on Main St. in Salt Lake City.
Absolutely no line in boca raton, Town Center Mall. Just walked by the Apple store and there was an armed security guard, and no one there.
Tony….we just got our AT&T sign in Smithtown about 5 or 6 days ago…..in fact, I have happened to pass by about 4 AT&T stores in the lat week here on Long Island in my business travels, and they all have new signs. Must have done them all at once….you can still see the shadow of the Cingular sign behind most of them though….no paint job to clean it up first!
About 80 fools sittin’ in the hot summer sun at the AT&T store in Seal Beach Kalifornia…
Go get ‘em suckers.
I just checked the Apple on-line Store and it is now CLOSED…with a note that says it will reopen at 6:00 PDT….I guess ’cause I’m in LA.
They just showed on NYC Ch. 7 news that the Apple store will be back up at 9pm EDT.
That’s only fair. It will allow everyone to access the Apple on-line store at the same time. Sorry, no advantage for you folks out East.
I passed two at&t stores. One had a line around the building and the other had no one in line. That would be in Nashville.
Mountain View, CA – heart of Silicon Valley.
Rebadged Cingular store with ATT canvas sign (grant rd and el camino in mountain view) about 10 people did the overnight, and about 30 by 4:30pm…
Travis…you rule and these guys are freakin’ morons. Enjoy your shit EDGE when I got 3G…by the time you hit youtube I’ll have been there and gone back to BGR.
Sacramento Natomas AT&T looks like about 100+ people.
I don’t exactly know how anyone can diss this thing, Apple & AT&T have done an amazing job creating hype and interest. Apple has never made the “best” of anything, they simply kill it at marketing and branding. The iPod wasn’t the best mp3 player, mac’s are not always the best technology, iTunes wasn’t always the best way to download digital music. But they are always the most desirable and they always get it right.
Apple knows you make the sexiest design with the best GUI and market the hell out of it. Weather you and your blackJack and MDA want to say it, this device will change EVERYTHING for mobile devices and anyone who gives two shits will benefit in the long run. I am a lover of my Blackberry, and I haven’t bought anything but a mac in almost 10 years, and although its taking everything in me to not go stand in line for an iPhone I know the mobile world is taking a huge leap forward today and I am extremely grateful to all those “losers” standing in line for showing all the other carriers and manufacturers if you want to compete you better step it up, the market is ready to get behind a great device. This is a great launch, marketing 101 right here… my guess is very few in any stores run out of stock.
Damn people why all the hate for the iPhone are you all jelious? Can’t afford it? Don’t have at&t? I’m rocking my iPhone now and its better then any piece of crAp htc could ever wish to make with windoze blowbile screw 3g I’m on wifi baby!
Waited in line starting at 5:55 pm. They sold 5 then announced that all the 8MB ones were gone. But no they didn’t sell any to their friends beforehand, yeah right.
Apple Store in Rancho Cucamonga CA stayed open till midnight, and had lots of phones available. Got the 8Gig, it’s pretty cool
It’s amazing that some stores had like 50+ people waiting and others like maybe 5-10… I feel sorry for whoever waited in the 50+ line
