Hundreds of Apple fans queue for hours to finally get their hands on iPhone 6 handsets

#askaroundnow

People have been camping outside Apple stores globally since the new iPhones were announced last week

But licensing problems in China meant the global rollout went ahead without the huge and lucrative market

Gold iPhones are already being advertised on the Chinese black market for as much as at £2,200 ($3,600)

The iPhone 6 costs £539 in the UK for 16GB version with customers paying up to £699 for one that has 128GB 

Sam Sheikh from London was the first customer in the UK to get his new iPhone plus after queuing for 3 days

O2 Priority customers were given handsets on top of the O2 Arena followed by a performance from Tinie Tempah

In New York, queues for the Soho Apple Store stretched more than 2,100ft (0.4 miles) along Greene Street 

In Palo Alto, California, Apple CEO Tim Cook posed for selfies with people trying to get their hands on the new phone

While in London, people queued for 1,050ft (0.2 miles) from Covent Garden store to the Royal Opera House

But as many as five million of these iPhones could end up in the Chinese black market where they may be sold for triple the price. 

Recent reports suggest the Gold iPhones are already being advertised in China for as much as at £2,200 ($3,600). The iPhone 6 costs up to £699 in the UK.

Where are the women?

People queue outside an Apple shop in London this morning. Demand is so high that people have been selling their place in queues for thousands, and Apple has been limiting customers to two phones each

In London, hundreds of people outside Covent Garden and Regent Street packed away their tents as they jostled to get their hands on the new phones.

Sam Sheikh, 27, based in east London, said he’d been waiting there for more than three days to bag his gold coloured iPhone plus and was the first customer in the UK to get his phone.

Meanwhile, the monster queue outside the US tech giant’s Birmingham store, stretched back for over 100 metres with the iPhone selling out in 10 minutes.
