Fans Line Up For iPhone 7 For Two Days (Photos)

There was excitement, chaos and hysteria across the world today as Apple fans finally got their hands on the iPhone 7, in what has been the biggest launch of the phone to date.

As the hotly-anticipated model went on sale in some 28 countries across the globe, eager consumers queued for hours to get their hands on 2016's most exciting new gadget.

Some customers had camped outside Apple stores for days in Sydney, Hong Kong and Tokyo, stationing themselves at shop entrances in a bid to be first through the doors.

Amid the fanfare, however, many of the crowds were smaller than in previous years - after Apple revealed it had sold out of initial supplies of all iPhone 7 Plus devices and the new jet black model of the smaller iPhone 7, due to customer pre-orders.
