Apple will begin shipping the iPhone X to the first batch of customers who pre-ordered the device on October 27, but at the same time, the firm will also allow walk-in buyers to get the new device if stock is available in its stores.

To make sure they secure an iPhone X, some Apple fanboys are already lining up for a walk-in iPhone X more than 24 hours before the company actually starts sales.

As you can see in these photos that were posted on reddit, the lines aren’t very long at this point, though they are expected to increase as we get closer to the moment when Apple stores will finally open their doors.

Selling line spots

Interestingly, some people who are camping outside the Apple Store are actually trying to make some money out of it, so they’re selling their spots to whoever is interested. “Selling #25 spot in line for the iPhone X. DM me on Insta to discuss details. You will get the phone 100%,” one such ad reads.

While each Apple Store will have iPhone X stock tomorrow morning, it’s important to know that only constrained supply is likely to be available, which means that not everyone waiting in line in front of a store could get a device. The staff will allow people in line to reserve an iPhone depending on stock, though each Appel Store might have different rules depending on location.

At this point, the best way to find out if you should and can camp in front of an Apple Store is to actually get in touch with the local staff and first and foremost ask about the iPhone X stock for walk-in customers.

Judging from how great the demand for the iPhone X was on the pre-order day, there’s a chance that many customers would rush in stores tomorrow as well, so it’ll be quite a struggle to secure a device unless you join the lines at each store.
