Tim Cook Helps Kick Off iPhone 6 Sales at Palo Alto Retail StoreWith Apple's retail stores beginning sales of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus today, customers have been
lining up to either pick up their pre-ordered devices or take their chances on launch-day supplies without reservations. Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster conducted his annual line count at Apple's flagship Fifth Avenue store in Manhattan and found a record 1,880 people in line at 8:00 AM, an increase of 33% over last year's line.

Apple executives are also getting into the spirit of the iPhone launch, with CEO Tim Cook making his traditional visit to the Palo Alto store to greet customers. Cook
walked the line and posed for photos with customers before heading into the store to meet with staff and open the door to welcome customers.
Several other executives are also out and about, with new retail chief Angela Ahrendts presiding over her first iPhone launch by visiting the flagship store in Sydney, Australia, and Internet software and services chief Eddy Cue
making an appearance at the Stanford store.
