THE first of hundreds of tech fans lined up as early as 7am to get their feet in the door of the new Apple Store at Westfield Fountain Gate.
The highly anticipated store opened at noon on Saturday.
Shoppers snaffled give-aways, were able to test-drive products, attended a free workshop and, of course, picked up some special gifts in time for Christmas.
