Among those waiting in line was Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, who was spotted in front of the Apple store in Culver City, Calif.
He told ABC News Radio, “I’ve waited in line so much when I couldn’t be — miss out being you know, the newest, latest, greatest, and being first, that now it’s such a habit, I kind of have to anyway and I can actually justify a new iPad at this moment in time.”
Although Wozniak could probably get a new iPad for free, he said he “would never ask for one. It’s just not something I like to do. I don’t like to get that kind of privilege.”
Plus, he said, he likes “hanging with the normal people and doing the normal things.”
Among the new feature on the new iPad: a high resolution Retina display, an improved iSight camera, a faster processor, quad-core graphics and a 4G LTE option.
Pricing starts at $499 for the 16GB Wi-Fi model.
