New York City Subway Entrance Turned Into Fake Apple Store With Line for iPhone X

[RowellE]

Guys, please check out the other videos in their channel. They do some really awesome stuff. Been following them for years!

Samsung did the fake waiting line joke much better six years ago

Who can forget such comic gems as, "Dude, you're a barista!" ?

Or the exploding head pantomime when the guy finds out the headphone jack has moved to the bottom.

Tim Cook: “let’s take them down....like those fake chinese apple store few years ago.”

Lawyers:”we’re ready, sir.”

What a colossal waste of time and effort. I guess in this era of social media clicks, right...?

 

[NinjaHERO]

That's pretty funny.

 

[DocMultimedia]

Does anyone photos of people lining up for the X?

 

[coolfactor]

As someone who has (in the past) waited in line at various apple locations for product releases, I see humor in this. Hopefully others who have, and Apple themselves do too!

No kidding, and free promotion for Apple, too!

Hahaha that's really great!

 

[lkrupp]

The fact that this improv group chose to do this shows how deeply entrenched Apple is in the culture, with brand recognition other companies would sell their grandmothers into slavery for.

 

[DVNIEL]

Lies... those people are actually lining up for the iPhone.

 

[mi7chy]

They can pull this off again in about five months.

A "Green Up-Arrow" vote on this one...

There was a thread about this on reddit and I believe it ended up on a Macrumors thread.

I'm guessing that Apple is behind this ultimately. Another lame attempt to grab attention.

 

[jonnysods]

Well that's just mean!

Shows you how easily influenced many of us are! I include myself in that too.

 

[melendezest]

Wow. For those who fell for it, all I can think of is this:

Bleat! Bleeeeeat!!

 

[Cheesebach]

I don't get it. This is supposed to be funny?

 

[TheWatchfulOne]

Introducing... Apple Store Mini!

 

[groove-agent]

Camping in a line and spending $1000 for a phone is a joke in itself. Maybe because I grew up in a time without cell phones? We survived just fine without them.

The only time I've ever seen the Apple Store clapping tunnel was when I bought Snow Leopard in 2009. I don't remember why I decided to go pick it up the day it was released, but I was confused as to why we were being applauded for buying a software update for $29. It's kind of embarrassing really.

Unlike Samsung, Apple doesn’t have to fake interest in their products or gin up stunts like this, people are ACTUALLY interested in them to begin with.

Apple users used to be the Lamas now just the Sheep!!! and only the Sheep!

 

[willmtaylor]

I'm generally a fan of the channel and subscribe to it, but this one just didn't seem that funny. YMMV.

 

[AppleWes]

Some people just get lucky I guess

?? They didn't actually get a phone. Unless I misunderstood you post.

This was just a fake YouTube video stunt for viral hits. I guess it was funny to some people, but seemed weird to me.
