Rumor: iPhone "wristbands" to be distributed

By Dave Caolo

If you're in line with Greg – or any other iPhone line, for that matter – this may be of interest to you. According to the modmyiPhone forums, Apple Store employees will be distributing color-coded wristbands to iPhone customers. Shoppers will be let into the stores 50 at a time until the supply of iPhones ends. Forum poster Poetic Folly claims to know that his local store is getting 500 units.

Other details as reported by modmyiPhone:

  • The line will form at the entrance of the mall closest to the outside of the Apple store.
  • Wristbands will be distributed in the line at 5pm on Friday.
  • The first 50 customers will be let into the Apple Store at 5:50pm and then more groups of 50 following that until the store closes that night.

Plus, my personal favorite, "...There will be a restroom(s) brought in for access to the outside entrance where the line will be." Nice.
