Steve Wozniak, who created Apple with Steve Jobs in a Silicon Valley garage in 1976, was first in line at a store in Los Gatos, Calif. About 200 people were at Apple's Fifth Avenue store in Manhattan as the iPhone 4S went on sale. "People are not as excited about this version as they might have been if a (iPhone) 5 came out," said Charles Prosser, 50, a retired teacher and a computer technician from Tuscaloosa, Alabama.Įven so, hundreds of buyers camped out in front of stores for hours to be among the first to get an iPhone 4S. That also may have contributed to smaller gatherings at some Apple locations. It's been more than a year since Apple's previous model was released. Many diehard Apple fans and investors were disappointed that Apple didn't launch a more radically redesigned new model - an iPhone 5. Buyers also were able to pre-order the phone on Apple's website and have it shipped to their home or office. Some Best Buy, Target and Walmart stores and authorized resellers also carry the phones. In addition to Apple stores, people can buy the phone from one of three wireless carriers: AT&T Inc., Sprint Nextel Corp. For starters, the phone is more widely available than in the past. But with the fifth unveiling of its popular iPhone, Apple is finding it difficult to maintain the excitement of past iPhone introductions.
