Sydneysiders gathered on George St in the CBD, most of whom queued at the Apple flagship store. Telstra also attracted a solid turn-out, with a DJ entertaining the crowd and staff on hand with food for those lining up.

Apple recently reported that it had received over 2 million pre-orders globally for the new iPhone 5.
