Why are people obsessed with having the latest iPhone?

I just don't get it, why do some people camp and queue in order to get these phones?

I'm 20 myself, and I know like me, a lot of people have their lives on their phone, tablet, laptop, whatever haha, but I just don't understand what all the hype is?

Is it like a status/ ego thing that you can afford and have a product of a kind of luxury brand? (Like having a Gucci handbag or something?) Or is the fact that the latest iPhone (currently iPhone 6) has like some super innovative features that actually improve you're daily life?

WELL BECAUSE THEY WANT TO FEEL LIKE IF THEY ARE IN THE NOW, NOW MY SISTERS GOT AN IPAD, IPHONE AND I GOT AN IPAID RECITE

Because they think it makes them cool and trendy and superior.

I was wondering the same thing. Just saw a vid on youtube ab cops in nyc arresting people in lines waiting for the 6 for sleeping. I think its ridiculous that people would go through all that trouble when my iphone 4 is working great.

  • Why do people want to get the latest technology? I still have an iPhone 4S, it's working fine except the home button is messed up but I can live with it. Because the phone can still be used to call and do what phones do. Why do people feel the need to buy the latest Phone when they don't need it?
  • Why are people obsessed with Joe Rogan's podcast? It is literally all my buddy talks about every other day. Rogan this, Rogan that. He always has to bring it up in amy conversation. Quite annoying really. He's also heavy into government conspiracies. Maybe that's why he likes the podcast so much? What's so good about gathering around your iPhone and listening to a UFC host talk about dumb stuff?
  • Why are people obsessed with FB? I'm amazed how Facebook is dominating people's lives. I do have FB, but some off my friends in there post pictures of EVERYTHING! For example Carrier bags with loads of shopping in it etc etc.these are people who work and study, so where do they get the time. To be honest I think there's a lot of proudness on there, like selfridges bags, telling people where they are, pictures of iPhones etc.man get a life'
  • What do British people think about how Americans are obsessed with the Royal Family? On American TV it's like they obsess over every little things that happens about the royal family in England I mean NBC news had some 'royal wedding app' for the iphone one time or something it's kinda sad what do Brits think of this?
