The Long Island, New York, grandmother says the transparent glass door at the company’s store in Manhasset was invisible to her and, during a trip in December, she walked right into it and broke her nose.

So far Greg Packer, 48, who calls himself ‘Apple’s biggest fan’, is the only person in the line for Friday’s 8am launch.
