MacRumors · Jun 25, 2007, 08:23 PM

The first iPhone campers have established their place in line at the New York City 5th Avenue Apple Store. Gizmodo has posted a brief video interview:

Meanwhile, we've heard that some Apple Stores have already started receiving iPhone shipments.

Wish I could afford to take a week off and pay for the phone LOL. Thats a lot if you are not using vacation pay...

Peace · Jun 25, 2007, 08:26 PM

Gawd..I feel for these two for some reason..

kevinwiz · Jun 25, 2007, 08:26 PM

wow
get a life

plumbingandtech · Jun 25, 2007, 08:26 PM

well.. I guess sitting next to a 24 hour apple store, he will always have a place to go (to the bathroom).

qzak · Jun 25, 2007, 08:27 PM

wtf... why. seriously

VanMac · Jun 25, 2007, 08:28 PM

Hype it up!

Padriac · Jun 25, 2007, 08:28 PM

Why get in line this early? It makes no sense!

KeareB · Jun 25, 2007, 08:29 PM

"Are you taking a nap?" Classic!

Peace · Jun 25, 2007, 08:29 PM

It's called "publicity hounds".

paulyras · Jun 25, 2007, 08:29 PM

Loos....No,

Dor...No,

Ner...No,

Hmmm....Lucky!

I still don't have nearly the patience to show up more than a few hours early.

Especially to hang out with a bunch of Yankee fans!

You have got to be kidding me. It is freaking Monday in New York. The phone comes out in four days. That is just nuts. Camping four days to get at a phone. Yeah, its a cool phone, but i don't think it'd be worth four days of my life wasted waiting outside for it.

But, then again, I suppose that i'm not the one camping. To each his own.

katie ta achoo · Jun 25, 2007, 08:30 PM

I wonder how he'll survive the 100 hours... It'll sure get boring!

monke · Jun 25, 2007, 08:31 PM

"I got a banana."

That'll last you till Friday.

I wonder if these two have any clue that most of the Apple online community is talking about them.

chubad · Jun 25, 2007, 08:31 PM

Because they will get national publicity. Not to mention reinforcing the image of crazy Mac cultist's who will stand in line 5 days for a flippin' cell phone.

drichx · Jun 25, 2007, 08:32 PM

They're obviously seeking media attention.
Honestly, is there a point to wait this far in advance?

runninmac · Jun 25, 2007, 08:33 PM

The 2 are going to be a hot gross mess in 4 days

iSmell... bad

irun5k · Jun 25, 2007, 08:33 PM

There must be something else to this camping out thing that I don't get. For example, people did it for the Star Wars movies too. In reality that is even more stupid because you could easily just watch the movie a few hours later. So why trade several days of your life for seeing a movie a few hours earlier?

I suppose it is kind of like an idiots version of going to the moon. Yeah, we did science up there, but a big part of it was just going. Of course, the journey to the moon caused many peope to use their brains and develop new technologies. Since idiots can't do this, their version of going to the moon in camping out in front of a store or movie theater.

So basically- yeah- they're just dumb.

povman · Jun 25, 2007, 08:35 PM

I weep for humanity now

villanova329 · Jun 25, 2007, 08:35 PM

You know Sony fed those that were waiting in line at their Sony-Style stores for the PS3.... I hope Apple helps those guys out...

Cause with that guys size of a belly, and that small of a banana... God be with him.

mcarnes · Jun 25, 2007, 08:35 PM

"I've uh, since retired" = he found a way to live off the government. Glad my tax money is doing some good.

clintob · Jun 25, 2007, 08:36 PM

This bunch of loony tunes really need to just park those little beach chairs right in the middle of Fifth Avenue and do us all a favor.
