Another iPhone, another set of lineups snaking around Apple storefronts around the world.

This morning, it's the iPhone 5.

Once again, fans camped out all night outside the shops, including on the sidewalk outside Pacific Centre in downtown Vancouver.        

“I got my cooler here, got two foot-long sandwiches from Subway, got two cans of Red Bull, two cases of Sprite, got my lawn chair here, small blanket, watching Scarface on my tablet."

"I slept for a couple hours. I brought a sleeping bag with it, so I just cuddled up inside of it."

"A backpack that had bottles of water, trips to A&W for the restroom and some food. Other than that, just good company." 

By the end of the month, analysts say Apple will ship as many as 10 million iPhone 5s.

    Not sure why anyone would camp overnight this time around

    1. We can now pre-order ahead of time and have them shipped to our door on launch day.

    2. They aren't selling phones unlocked at the store to curb reselling and flipping phones...

    Vancouver is such a loser city, people are more interested at looking at a video screen then having a humanly conversation.

    No fun city
