Just got back from the Bath store. Me and my daughter were first in the queue. It was a fun experience 
wow, so much love or ....... , you don't get this kind of attention at any other store - i think
Damn Apple
Damn Apple
Call me crazy or whatever but unlike most of you I enjoyed this video.
I did not particularly like how he posed in front of the camera to show off his purchase, because he shows off himself not the product (maybe I wouldn't say that if he had held the iPad Air in front of him, or above him). But I DID like the atmosphere of the product launch, including the music and the camera effects in the video.
I wouldn't ever want to be the first one, but the whole ceremony of Apple product launches seems interesting and exciting to me. I'd say, in a few years I should be there once. In other words, I'm happy for Ben but if I were him, I'd make the other people focus only on the iPad.

And why should I care that you're posting almost exactly the same thing as that other guy?
You obviously don't get what he's saying. He wants the people to stop moaning about this Apple customer. He's talking to ALL the people attacking Ben and he's trying to make them realize that they REALLY shouldn't care if they don't like it.
He's just a Mac enthusiast like everyone of us. He is actually doing something and helping other Mac enthusiasts to show, first hand, their products. Nothing else. Why so aggressive?
Your post made me laugh.
I suppose I'm outta the loop as I have no idea who this kid is. I will say I always tell myself and others the unboxing videos are lame, yet strangely I always watch them. I mean, all of us know how they'll unbox since all Apple products are pretty much packaged the same.
Hahaha these videos are the benchmark for humanity. I watch them to figure out what I shouldn't be doing in life.
I read MR every day for lessons on how not to write in the English language.

It's embarrassing and pathetic. They are retail consumer products for crying out loud. The overly dramatic celebration is an insult to people's intelligence, and videos like that first one make my embarrassed to ever be associated with an Apple product launch.
They keep my AWAY from the Apple store. I buy online, so that when people see such ridiculous events covered on TV, and they ask me, "Were you one of those nuts jumping and celebrating over buying an iPhone?"
I can comfortably respond, "I bought mine online."
