People line up outside an Apple store in Dubai
Reminds us of when The Dubai Mall Apple Store was opened last April 27, but it was the other way around then: everyone had to wait until 4PM before they could get in and have their fill.
And we're quite sure that early-morning time won't be an issue; remember when the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus was launched last year? The first one in line started waiting at 10PM the previous evening; here's a refresher.
Bakhit Saeed Alsubousi, from Abu Dhabi, made the trek all the way from the capital to come in second.
Though more than the iPhone 8 itself, there's a more interesting twist to this: with the iPhone X slated to be launched in the UAE on November 4, it'll be interesting to find out if we'll be seeing the usual mania surrounding iPhone launches, or if it'll be a bit toned down because fans will be waiting for the starting-at-Dh4,099 device.
We're about to find out in pretty soon.
