iPhone X launch day in Sydney, Australia

Queues stretched around the block outside the Apple store in Sydney, Australia, as the iPhone X went on sale.

Apple fans at the front of the line in Sydney were queuing for at least five days ahead of launch

The queue outside Australia's flagship Apple store stretched around the corner and up two city blocks.

Having missed out on preorders, Bizhoy Behman, Josh Yacoub and Ahmad Rassa were the first three people through the doors at the Apple store after queuing for a week.

Having queued at the Sydney Apple store for each new iPhone for the past four years, 20-year-old software engineering student Mazen Kourouche was excited to get hands-on with the new iPhone X.

"I'm going to have to get used to no home button," he said.

Australian preorder customer Jesse Goodwin described the iPhone X as the "next chapter" for Apple fans.

"Other companies have implemented borderless screens, but this takes it to the next level," the 19-year-old student said.

Early customers weren't fazed about the notch in the top of the iPhone X display.

"It doesn't seem to be intruding," said one buyer.

Singapore's Apple Store is the only flagship store in Southeast Asia. It saw a massive crowd that comprised buyers coming from across the region this morning.
