This guy is really cool, he has proved it time and again.

Somebody teach him how to preorder.

Zakuzaa2• 15 years ago

Preorder? He can probably get it months before public launch if he wants.

tikhonj• 15 years ago

What, preorder and miss out on all the fun?

joshuamerrill2• 15 years ago

Apparently pre-ordering was not the issue, as he has already pre-ordered two new iPhones. I think he was just enjoying chatting with fans.

I went by early this afternoon and met him. I got a photo with him, and so did several other people. He could not have been more gracious.

Did Steve and Woz get on in later years?

Anyone remember if there is any queue for the first iPhone?

joshuamerrill2• 15 years ago

Yes, I stood in line for nearly 10 hours in Los Angeles on June 29th, 2007, to get a first generation iPhone.

I remember it well. I was on holiday in the US and couldn't believe people were queuing for a phone! Apple fanboys!

Turns out two years later I'm totally one of those fanboys

"People brought iPhones, iPods and iPads for Wozniak to sign with a marker. "Now your phone is not going to be worth as much when you sell it," Wozniak said to one woman before signing her iPhone 4"

Dear Woz, I am sure an iPhone with your signature is worth a lot more than a bare iPhone.

Well he means it will push an old iPhone back up to original value,

Dear Tichy, I am sure Woz realises this and that's part of the joke he's making.

Tichy2• 15 years ago

OK, maybe. Then again, maybe I realized that Woz realises it and it was part of the joke I was making.

He did it may be as a tribute to his dear friend, Steve Jobs.

basugasubaku• 15 years ago

He always gets in line for the iPhone. He did it for the 3GS as well: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=725868

I want to start a company that's so damned awesome, that even after I've been retired for decades, I'll line up and wait overnight to buy their latest product.

What a legend and a decent guy too!

How many other "celebrities" would keep in touch with a student they met in a queue a year ago? Legend.
