TUAW is reporting that Apple stores have been handing out golden tickets. Essentially they give you a ticket while you wait in line, that guarantees that you can get an iPhone. You can leave, and come by the store later during the day and get your iPhone at your convenience.
That’s great and all, especially say you stood in line for 2 hours, and suddenly need to leave for a meeting. It’s nice to know you’re still guaranteed an iPhone.
The lines will also likely end up being shorter, since people will be getting the phone throughout the day.
Based on anecdotal evidence, it also seems like lines are now <2 hours, though iPhone have still been sold out. In any case, keep checking those iPhone availabilities, and good luck getting the phone!
