Video: Lines around the world for Apple’s iPhone 6 (Friday update)

There were line sitters camped outside Manhattan’s Fifth Ave store last week even before the iPhone 6 was unveiled. By Thursday night — 12 hours before the doors on the big glass cube were scheduled to open — the ragged queue stretched across three city blocks.

Update: Friday morning countdowns and a dropped iPhone 6, via YouTube.
