Even though the atmosphere in lines around the world wasn't as exciting as?in past years?? in part thanks to sponsored human billboards and protesters?? the moment the clock chimed 8 a.m. at Apple Stores around the world, cheers erupted. The iPhone 5 has arrived.
The first person in line at Apple's flagship store in New York City is Hazem Sayed, the developer behind Vibe, an?app that lets its users broadcast anonymous messages to those nearby. He has spent well over a week sitting in front of the Apple Store on 5th Avenue and he does not regret a moment. "I'm as happy as I am tired," he tells reporters who crowd him as soon as he exists the store with his iPhone in hand.
When asked whether he even has the energy to use his new iPhone 5 after the long wait, Sayed smiles. "It's love at first sight," he says. "I'll stay up all night."
Love at first sight isn't eternal love though. Sayed does say he would consider selling his new gadget for twice what he paid, meaning about a thousand dollars total. "The receipt is longer than the phone," he remarks absentmindedly as he holds up a crumpled slip of paper next to the device.
Long after Sayed managed to escape the clutches of reporters, cheers continued?erupting?each time someone exited the Apple Store, with a new iPhone 5 in hand.
