What do you do when you’ve got a pre-queue queue downstairs, then an actual queue proper upstairs? There’s a lot of tired people involved, and twice as many tired legs. The answer, of course, is the iQueue. Dozens of plastic chairs brought in solely for the comfort of your customers’ backsides.

This pic was snapped in the London Regents Street Apple Store on Thursday afternoon as a great many people wait for their chance to buy an iPhone. Photographer Chris Mac Morrison was less than impressed.

“I’ll wait until waiting time is less than 10 mins before i hand over any cash,” he told us. Good plan.

We’re sure that our friends down under have been wondering where is all the Apple love for Australia. Well, they can stop the sorrow and feel the joy as Apple is set to open it’s first Australia Apple Store on Thursday, June 19. The store in question will be located in Sydney and will feature the “world’s largest Genius Bar” according to a recent Apple press release (see, that’s what you get for waiting so long).

Apple also notes that the store will accommodate over 80 Macs and 60 iPods (talk about Apple goodness). The Apple store in Sydney will open at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday June 19. The Apple Store Sydney is located at 367 George Street, one block North of the Queen Victoria Building.
