iPhone fans hit Apple Stores as latest handsets go on sale

Apple has released its latest iPhone handsets and an updated Apple Watch in stores across the UK and Ireland.

Droves of iPhone fans queued outside the company’s UK flagship Regent Street store on Friday morning, hoping to be among the first to get their hands on the iPhone XS and XS Max, which chief executive Tim Cook unveiled earlier this month as Apple’s most-advanced iPhone yet.

“It’s completely sad but I needed an upgrade,” said a 19-year old student who also queued overnight.

“I always like to get a new bit of tech and flash it around the office a little bit.”
