On Tverskaya Street in Moscow, a line has formed near the Apple brand store. People want to be among the first to buy new items from the Cupertino-based company – the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro. By 8:00 Moscow time, more than 30 people were already standing behind the phones in the center of the capital. The re: Store itself opened at 10:00. Some of those standing in line told reporters that they took their seats at one in the morning.
According to Life, the first in line were young people who brought with them folding chairs, food bags and mugs. But not all of them came to buy new phones for themselves. Some took places in line for money to buy new items for a certain man who wanted to buy many gadgets at once.
“For fun, we posted an announcement on Avito that we’ll sit out the night, and we’ll be the first in line. There were a lot of people, journalists called and found out, ”the young people said.
The journalists also spoke with those who have already developed the habit of standing in line for many hours and buying new iPhones for themselves first.
“We came at one in the morning. The habit of changing the phone first for the second year. I will also buy Pro Max. Last year there was no such excitement, ”Arina, a girl who came to the store with her other Ivan, told RIA Novosti.
In places in the queues for the iPhone, enterprising residents of Moscow began trading on September 20. On the Avito ad service, Russians asked for up to 140,000 rubles to queue up for an iPhone 13 for three days.
