Jeez... camping 5 days for a phone.
So you want the poor FedEx driver to wait in line for 2 weeks? How selfish![]()
Or just don't have the attention span to read just another crappy self-publicist non-news item.MacRumors posters have the collective reading comprehension of a kindergartner.
sit in line for 2 weeks for some white guy to give you 200 bucks to cut in line lol
Yea. It might actually be some kind of test Macrumors is doing. Everyone who posts something like "They have no lives" or "Why do stupid people do this?" should get their accounts suspended, and the average IQ in the forums will immediately go up by 20%.
Do you think that "give up the first place in line" might actually mean they step out of the line rather than just let Wacko and Loser jump in front?The problem with this logic is that they didn't just sell being first in line, they profited from moving everyone behind them one further spot back. Could these dudes, because they are in first, sell 500 people the opportunity to stand in front of them?
Sounds to me like a mutiny in the works... going to be an awkward 7 days.
It's funny how every year the line increases. These people are waiting outside 20 days in advance. Next year, 25? 30? At what point are you waiting in line for 6 months for the new iPhone.
But you know I don't hate this, I think it's pretty funny and I find it entertaining to see these people doing this for some reason.

Based on past timelines, the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 could become available beginning on Friday, September 19.
This is awful for all of us who bought the iPhone 5 on Sept. 21, 2012 and are on a two-year contract.

At their jobs, or failing that, using common sense and pre-ordering online.
If you are on ATT then dial *639# to check upgrade status .. They might waive* the 2 day early upgrade ...
Getting an iPhone is not the point, clearly: if you know enough about Apple to want one THAT bad and know about these events, then you also know new models are not coming to the store right away.
At this point it has become nothing but an "out there" social event. If you're into that, you can feel like one of a small select group who does "such and such activity." All the more a source of "pride" by being difficult and uncomfortable, I suppose. (Like being a bike messenger maybe?)
I am not into that. You couldn't pay me enough.
Add it to the LONG list of social activities I just don't get: Apple Store campouts, drunken bar crawls, cruising the shopping mall, riding in circles in extra-loud modified vehicles, SuperBowl parties, loud clubs where you cannot converse, packed crowds where you cannot move, concerts where you cannot hear the music clearly, window-shopping for clothes, church, waiting in line to renew your driver's license... you name it.
The human race gets up to come real nuttiness: if it's not for you, at least enjoy the spectacle!

As is typical, many of the campers lining up early are participating in publicity stunts to garner recognition for their companies, given the media attention early waiters tend to receive.
Proof that very few people read the articles.
