That was the first launch and also the main reason this time is everyone needs to have instore activation. Some sites say that the current iphone owners just have to provide the IMEI number on the Box and the rest of the activation can be done from home.
Believing this is true, the fact that everyone needs to get in store, that itself would make me believe more on this rumor. Anyways, we can wait for the official news...
