Nobody beats The Woz to the first iPhone — except 6 other people

9/21/2012

Why is it so hard for Steve Wozniak to get the very first Apple anything? This year the dude traveled all the way to Australia, crossing about a million time zones to be the first in the world to purchase the newest gotta-have gizmo. "In line for first iPhone 5's in the world!" he tweeted happily. Alas, The Woz was actually seventh in line at Apple's Brisbane store, according to tweets from fellow line-standers. Sure, he beat his fellow Californians by 17 hours, buying both a black AND a white model before those folks were even up for the day — but really, can't someone just ship one directly to his house?
