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.
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.
