So have I! When I drive by the Apple store on my way to work it doesn't look like anyone has taken my place in line yet either! haha.
I wouldn't be surprised if some of them are actually not waiting for the iPhone 6, but the iPhone 7.
Not me, I'm waiting for the iPhone 7S
I agree. Unless it's some homeless person doing it to get some cash or the group like the frat boys that did it to raise money for charity

Because we don't know for fact there will be pre orders
i'm sorry, why are the camping out now for a phone that will only be announced next week? It wont be available for another 2 1/2 weeks... do people not have jobs anymore?
I love knowing that I go to work every day so welfare trash can line up for the new Iphone weeks and weeks before it is released. Must be nice not having to work and sponging off hard working Americans like myself.
Gotta love how pretty much everyone assumes they're poor losers. Why? Aren't there other options? I can think of a few right off the top of my head.
- Getting paid to do it, as evidenced by the two guy's shirts. (Thanks forum posters for that possibility.)
- Wealthy family (they're never going to have to work for a living anyway, and their families are OK sponsoring that behaviour. If they're OK with it, who are you to object?)
- Self employed and done with the month's work
- Not self employed but they've taken a holiday for the occasion. (Yeah, some jobs are flexible like that.)
- Have a part time job which allows you to schedule your work times such that you can eke out one or two weeks of time in which you're not working (by working twice the time in the two weeks you *are* working) - I used to do that back when I worked part-time.
- Students who aren't working part-time at the moment.
- They work the night shift and get a friend to stand in their place in line while they work
Need I go on? The part that shocks me about society isn't the fact that people would find the time to do this, but rather the idiots making knee-jerk assumptions about their employment and social status.

I guess they didn't get the memo that there is absolutely no difference between buying an iPhone first or 100s in line. It's the same exact phone. Apple will not frame your picture onto a wall. And people will forget about you as soon as news channels run your face.

Don't these people have a life?

lol you don't think "regular people" won't be lining up for a phone they know nothing about in a few days? You must be new here.
In line for attention. In line for the iPhone. Samething.
Oh they are, they just don't feel the need to stand in line so everything thinks they're kool.
