Why do people want the new iPhone?

I went to go look in the apple store the other day, and a street full of people where camping there, with there macs and iPads and sh! T. And everyone was fighting to go in and get this iphone. Today, I was going somewhere. We've happened to pass by the apple store and there's still a big hell of a line. What is with people these days? And why do they want a crappy iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 plus?

They can't think for themselves and always need to follow the crowd to have the latest (but certainly not the best) apple iphone before anyone else. It's like the saddest, most materialistic thing I have ever of. That's the long and the short of it. The iphone 6 is as good as the 2012 Nexus 4 and the Nexus 5 is the dark horse of smartphones. Just compare the specs of the iphone 6 to the Nexus 5. Also look at the price difference!

I don't see the hype or anything. I mean I bought a new iPad like 6 months ago. I didn't get the iPad air right away, I waited a bit. Trust me. The stores will still sell the iPhone 6, why wait in that long line?

OMG, what a stupid question… No offense…
SOME people want to be exposed to the latest technology. Others have a lot of money and what's better to spend it on than the iphone 6? Even others aren't as hard minded as you and see that the new iphone is beneficial and more efficient.

I guess they just don't want to be "left behind" or feel like they've missed out on the excitement. It's very emotional. The company selling the product feeds into that feeling as well.

Why do people want the new iPhone?

Because of brain damage.

It talk's to you

I think Futurama's episode "Attack of the Killer App" explained it all.

People have too much money to spare and they care too much what others think.

IPhone 4S/5/5S >>>> iPhone 6, 6+

They really love it.

It's awwsoms
