Wu Ting, a 28-year-old from Nanjing, was surprised to find herself first in line at a downtown Apple store in Shanghai on Friday, a holiday in China.
Apple stock is down 59 cents, or half a percent, at $114.98. Instead, Apple has made headphones that plug into the same port as the power cord, AND soon Apple will be releasing these high tech wireless earbuds.
If you are not picky about the smartphone’s color, you have a shot at finding one in Apple retail stores or in “partner locations”, Apple said in a statement released Thursday.
Getting rid of the headphone jack actually meant that Apple had more room for other stuff in the chassis. “I told someone a few hours ago, if they didn’t have any (iPhone-7s in stock) but I get to meet Tim Cook, it (the overnight wait outside the store) would all be worth it”.
A tear down of the iPhone 7 is revealing all of the phone’s secrets, and its second speaker grille that replaced the headphone jack is nothing more than an aesthetic fake.
Apple continues to revel in release-day joy as the company celebrates this day – as all major product releases – as an worldwide holiday.
“Awesome”, Ryerson student Reuben Kiblitsky said as he got his hands on two new matte black iPhones and an Apple Watch.
In Beijing’s fashionable Sanlitun shopping district, several people who had already grabbed new iPhone 7s were hawking them for a markup just outside a flagship store.
Across the country this morning, people who have been lining up for days to get their hands on Apple’s latest generation of the iPhone may get their wish.
The Apple Store at Willowbrook still had a half-dozen customers lined up outside the store at 2:30 p.m.
“I’m certainly not one of the hard core Apple fans but I think the bigger capacity, better battery, better camera, that’s enough to make the jump”, he said.
According to Mirror, next year will mark the 10th anniversary of the iPhone and Apple will be planning something big to go along with it.
And breaking with tradition, Apple isn’t going to reveal first weekend sales numbers this year, which the company says is because it knows it will sell out the phones.

“I couldn’t wait another year”, he said.
