4am at Chimney Rock and Westheimer in front of the ATT store last night armed robbers drove up and targeted people waiting in line for the new iPhone. I guess anywhere in Houston late at night is not safe anymore.

When you go out unarmed you choose to be a victim. :banghead:

Wonder what would have happen if 1 or more were armed.... :fire

I read on ifixit.com http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPhone+5s+Teardown/17383" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; that the battery in the 5S has been glued in. Didn’t check the 5C.

I wouldn’t have one even if it was given to me.

When the store opened and began selling the new iPhones, the men were given credit for the value of their phones that had been stolen.
Now THAT is customer service!
