I'm going to have to agree with the other posters. As far as .0 releases go, I think iOS 8 might be the most stable OS they've released. Usually the wait for the .1 update is a pretty bumpy ride.

But like I said, I'd love to see the cost breakdown after you consider the time put in for reservations and paying folks to stand in line & do pickups. How much are they paying the middlemen going into the store? $50 a phone? $20 a phone?

"Hey I'll give you $1,750 cash to go into the Apple store and get two new iPhones, you keep the change for your time"

What's the shipping cost on that? An airline ticket and you take a carryon packed with phones with you?

I'm honestly just curious about the economics of how these guys operate, and handing nearly $2k over to a pop over to a dozen or so people.
If it's anything like that youtube video that's been going around, these people are very poor. Not to mention if the mafia involvement is true, there could be more to it than just a few hundred dollars in the pocket.
