For the third consecutive summer, Apple released a new phone, and for the third consecutive summer, crowds flocked to buy it–though perhaps not in as large a number as they had in the past.
This year’s model, the iPhone 3G S, went on sale Friday morning in eight countries, including the U.S. And while people showed up at Apple and AT&T stores to get their hands on the latest iPhone, reports from around the country suggested that crowds were smaller than for previous launches, particularly when it came to queuing up overnight.
The lighter crowds are not all that surprising. Apple has sold 21 million iPhones through March 2009, and many customers who bought last year’s iPhone 3G and remain under contract with AT&T are doubtlessly balking at paying the higher fee the wireless carrier is charging some users to upgrade.
Still, people turned out at stores across the country to pick up an iPhone 3G S. In Arlington, Va., the crowds returned to the Clarendon Apple Store for the new iPhone’s launch. Fifteen minutes before the 7 a.m. opening, a line extended about halfway along the back of the considerable length of the mall.
