Before a new iPhone is released, diehard Apple fans love lining up outside of Apple stores.
新蘋果手機發布之前，鐵桿蘋果粉絲喜歡在蘋果專賣店外面排隊。
But this year, lines around the world were shorter than they've been in previous years for the new iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max.
但是今年，世界各地排隊購買新款“iPhone XS”和“iPhone XS Max”的人比前些年少了。
According to Business Insider, at one Apple store in Tokyo, the line was half the size as it was last year.
據“Business Insider”報道，在東京的一家蘋果專賣店，排隊人數是去年的一半。
There could be an explanation for the shorter lines though aside from lack of consumer interest.
除了消費者不感興趣外，排隊人數減少還有另一個原因。
In recent years, Apple has encouraged customers to make pre-orders or schedule in-store pickups instead of launch day walk-ins.
近些年，蘋果鼓勵消費者提前預定或安排到店取貨時間，無需在發布日排隊購買。
