A look at the iPhone 8 release from around the world

It was an unusual day for Apple. The iPhone 8 was released around the world, but many Apple Stores didn’t have massive lines waiting overnight or even at the time of doors being opened. Crowds were noticeably missing at quite a few locations. It seems that consumers have decided to make purchases online, keep their current iPhone, or wait for the iPhone X.

Let’s go on a tour together of Apple Stores in the United States and beyond.

Two hours after opening, the SF Apple Store line is steady at 65 people. Many international buyers on vacay looking to pay less, get earlier pic.twitter.com/RRo6AswMnD

Apple Brisbane — Brisbane, Australia

This is the extent of the line up for the new iPhone in Brisbane. Just a dozen deep. Clearly not as much excitement as in previous years. pic.twitter.com/iJGg6S3k3Z

Apple Pasadena — Pasadena, California

This is odd. In 10 years of covering iPhone launches, I've never seen a release day with not a single person in line at an Apple store. pic.twitter.com/lEM4ZYZPAW

Where's the line? Apple's #iPhone8 & #iPhone8Plus are being released today...but where are all the @Apple fans? Thoughts? @ABC7 pic.twitter.com/P1UZZlceYh

Only 9 or so waiting to get an iPhone 8 outside the Apple Store on 14th - some more inside and around the corner, but less than I expected pic.twitter.com/gOTSKLZ5cI
