Instead of issuing paper cards to customers waiting in line, retail store executives will issue digital reservation cards, which are sent via a text message or email.</p> <!--break--> <p>The new reservation system means that once you get your pass, you can leave the line and come back later in the day to purchase the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus (http://www.imore.com/iphone-6-plus). The Reservation Pass system syncs with a store's inventory, which curtails store employees from handing out too many passes. The system is devised to make it easier for consumers to get a hold of the new devices, and for store executives to better manage their inventory.</p> <p>The new iPhones will be available starting September 19, with pre-orders set to commence from this Friday.</p> <p>What do you busy think of the digital reservation system? Are you looking forward to the launch of the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus?</p> <p>Source: 9to5Mac (http://9to5mac.com/2014/09/10/apple-aims-to-make-buying-an-iphone-6-easier-at-its-stores-with-new-digital-queue-system/)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-26956"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3e5ce7ac/sc/15/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
