At the Apple Store in Sydney, in the middle of the city, the store was quiet in the hour before doors opened. Where previously (as recently as the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max launch in last month) crowds had queued around the corner to buy Apple's newest phone, just a handful of people were waiting.

According to staff at the store, most customers were coming in to pick up pre-orders at pre-allocated times throughout the day (a system that Apple has also had in place for previous launches).
