I Was FIRST in Line for the NEW iPhone 18 Pro Max!
Next story: Two phones, one pickup slot for Matthew Gonzalez's iPhone Duo
An unofficial sign-up list is not enough to settle who gets into the Apple Store first. In Matthew Gonzalez's iPhone 18 Pro Max vlog, customers arrive with their own system, before Apple employees organize a single line and lead everyone inside.
Gonzalez wants the first spot without a reservation. His girlfriend joins the late-night trip to Florida Mall, and by the morning opening he has secured it. The payoff is a pair of phones: a Glacier Blue Pro Max and a black Pro.
That September upload is doing most of the work during a week with nothing new posted. "I Was FIRST in Line for the NEW iPhone 18 Pro Max!" is adding around 55,000 views a day, the largest contribution to the channel's current viewing. Launch-day queuing is familiar territory here: his iPhone 17 Short is also among his most-watched Shorts of all time.
The channel added about 416,000 views over the week, while subscribers stayed unchanged. Its current daily viewing is close to normal, a quieter picture than nearby gadget channel Parker Burton, which added subscribers and drew millions of weekly views.
Away from the Apple Store doors, "How Fast Can A Gaming Laptop Die?" remains another source of daily viewing months after publication. The iPhone Duo preorder video is drawing viewers too, giving Gonzalez's back catalog a mix of launch-day anticipation and gadget endurance tests.
