Since we are not the ultimate judge and cannot peer into a person’s heart and true intent, it remains nigh impossible as to whether these folks happen to be hardcore Apple fans, or are they simple scalpers who hope to make a quick buck along the way by the time September 19th arrives.
For those who have more patience than the others, and are not compelled to get the latest device all the time, not to mention having to go through the rigors of waiting in line, Apple will kickstart the pre-order process from September 12th onward. If you’re unable to pick up a pre-order unit, there is always the last resort – to rely on the local mobile service provider or Apple Store to carry some iPhone 6 stock.
