Ethan and I both just took long, hot showers in an effort to recoup from a crazy, unexpected day.
We both sold our iPhones this week and made enough money off of them to cover the cost of new ones! So .... went to the Apple store at 6:30 this morning to pick up my reserved iPhone. We were so naive.
We stepped in line thinking worst case scenario we'd wait a couple of hours to pick up my reserved phone. After standing in line for about 5 minutes Ethan was moved to the non-reservation line and I was left in a very long line with Claire. (However, I have the most perfect baby in the history of the universe and she was fine the entire time. And by "entire time" I mean four hours!)Ethan ran into a couple of our friends who stood in line with him.
I got my phone after four hours. And I will say - it's an incredible product. I hung out with Ethan, Michael and Elly for a bit afterwards - then took Claire home for a few hours to nap, eat and play. The time in line was honestly really cool, very rarely do Claire and I have four hours just to play. I mean, I'm with her all day every day - but after about 20 minutes of Mommy playtime she moves on to a new activity. So it was fun to get to play with her all morning.
To sum up a very long story, Ethan, Michael and Elly waited 12 hours for their phones. If Ethan hadn't run into them, he would have given up a long time before and gone home with Claire and I. I think it almost became a mission among the three of them. That and Apple was stringing the non-reservation line along every hour making it seem that they only had another hour or so to wait.
My official statement: The product is incredible - but it was no fun (and unexpected) to wait that long in line.
