Want to know where the only iPhone 4s on 3UK are?

by Ben Smith 25th June 2010

There was the predictable controlled chaos around the Apple Store on Regent Street. Queues snaked around the store, along the street and around the corner. At 6pm the line still contained many hundred of people - some estimates placing it at 1000. Bizarrely though, with the huge rush to purchase the device, inside the store […]
