Banyak pelanggan berkemah di luar toko Apple di Sydney, Hong Kong dan Tokyo, berjaga di pintu masuk toko dalam upayanya menjadi yang pertama sebagai pembeli.
Di tengah gembar-gembor Apple, namun, banyak yang menilai kerumunan pembeli lebih kecil dibandingkan tahun-tahun sebelumnya - setelah Apple mengungkapkan bahwa produk terbarunya iPhone 7 Plus dan model hitam jet baru yang lebih kecil iPhone 7, karena telah dipesan sebelum diluncurkan.
Pelanggan berkemah di luar outlet Apple sampai dua hari sebelum pintu dibuka pada Jumat pagi, tidak khawatir pada hujan deras hanya untuk dapat melalui pintu demi mendapatkan iPhone 7 dan 7 Plus.
Di London, banyak yang melakukan perjalanan dari India, Nepal dan Belanda untuk datang ke outlet Covent Garden.
Kerumunan juga terlihat di Tokyo, Hong Kong, Beijing dan Shanghai di Cina ketika mereka bergegas untuk mendapat perangkat Apple baru sedini mungkin.
Namun jumlah yang antri tampaknya lebih sedikit dari yang menantikan ponsel dari tahun-tahun sebelumnya - banyak yang memperkirakan hal itu lantaran kontroversi atas hilangnya jack headphone, seperti dilansir MailOnline.
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.
Customers camped outside Apple Stores for up to two days before doors opened on Friday morning, with many braving torrential rain to rush through the door to get their hands on the new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.
In London, people had travelled from as far as India, Nepal and Holland to get to the Covent Garden store.
Crowds were also seen in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai in China as fans rushed to get the new Apple devices as early as possible.
But there were noticeably fewer people queuing for the models than in previous years - with some suggesting this may be due to controversy over the loss of the headphone jack.
