The iPhone Duo launch today has reignited long lines at Apple Stores globally, reminiscent of early iPhone releases. Queues formed at locations including Apple Domain NORTHSIDE in Austin, Texas, Apple Fifth Avenue in New York, and stores in Utah, Hawaii, and Boulder, Colorado. Apple's CEO John Ternus and retail chief Deirdre O'Brien visited the Austin store, coinciding with the F1 U.S. Grand Prix weekend.
Marketing chief Greg Joswiak and retail VP Vanessa Trigub greeted customers in New York. Apple offered the device on a limited walk-in basis, expecting rapid sell-out due to extraordinary pre-order demand. Pre-order systems briefly worked then failed, with pickup options currently unavailable and directing customers to check back Saturday.
Photos and social media posts confirm substantial lines forming early Friday morning.
