Camping out for a new iPhone is still a thing.

A man in Houston, Texas is already in line in front of an Apple store. Isaiah Stofferahn is the first person with a spot to get his iPhone even though they won't be released until Friday. Stofferahn has a good reason for getting in line so early. His old phone broke. He said all of the pre-order slots were taken online so this is his best option to get the new iPhone when they go on sale. You couldn't just get an iPhone X? Those are in supply right now! Have you ever stood in a long line to buy something? Have you camped out overnight or over days for a product release or a "Black Friday" sale?
