WANT to make a cheeky $300? You’ll need to be prepared to wait for it — literally.

A Sydney man has placed an advertisement on the website AirTasker, seeking to employ someone to wait in line for the new Apple iPhone.

The listing went up three days ago, despite Winston Zhuo not knowing any definitive details about the latest version of the smartphone.

Tech giant Apple will unveil the new iPhone — possibly three different versions of it — at an anticipated event in California on Wednesday (Australian time).

“Wait in line for the iPhone 8 launch to get me two phones,” Winston wrote in the ad.

“Will most likely need to line up the night before release date — looking roughly 8-10 hours in line.”

It’s expected the phones will go on sale at the end of the month and the eager Apple fan is keen to hear from serious waiters only.

In addition to the $300 payment for camping outside Apple’s Sydney city or Chatswood stores, Winston is willing to pay a bonus if the successful line occupant can score him two handsets.

Apple’s latest iPhones are tipped to break sales records in Australia this month, with more than 150,000 Aussies expected to buy the smartphones even before they appear in stores.

New research released by Finder.com.au showed Australians would splash more than $150 million on iPhone pre-orders following Apple’s Wednesday announcement.

It’s expected 1.2 million Aussies would buy new iPhones in their first three months on sale.
