If you haven’t already pre-ordered your iPhone 6 or (especially) iPhone 6 Plus, unless you’re reading this within a sleeping bag in front of an Apple store, you ain’t picking up the latest Apple handset on launch date. As in, today. But if you’re absolutely determined to give it a go, the good folk at LifeHacker are giving you the tools.
They’ve created a post featuring the name and address of every store in the country which will be stocking Apple’s latest must-haves and selling them from the 8am embargo. Specifically, each Apple, Telstra, Optus and Vodafone store.
To make it extra easy to pick the location you’ll target, they’ve even created a map of all the locations.
Of course if you value your time over your money, you could just shell out the better part of $2000 to buy a new phone on eBay.
As to LifeHacker‘s opinion on actually bothering to queue for hours to pick a up new phone?
Do we recommend queuing for a phone the day it launches? No. The iPhone 6 won’t see a successor for at least a year. You have plenty of time.
Check out the full post – ‘Everywhere in Australia opening early to sell you an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus‘ – which they have been updating. Good job LifeHacker.
So the iPhone 6 line for Apple Store Sydney is down King, around York, down Market and just at the star or Clarence

Apple
All Apple stores will be open from 8:00 (local time). If you’ve reserved a phone, perhaps skip the early queues. Or take photos and laugh. It’s up to you.
