Apple iPhone X: Setting criticism aside, look how people waited for the much-awaited smartphone

After all the tech reviews and umpteen **iPhone X** videos, finally, on 3 November, the iPhone fans will get the chance to buy and possibly get a hands-on experience of the tenth-anniversary edition, iPhone X. Some may have already received their units. After the lukewarm response that iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus received globally, iPhone X has a different story to tell. Take a look how people sacrificed comforts of their bed and literally camped outside to buy the new iPhone X.

1. People in Singapore can be seen camping outside the Apple Store.
