How come people camp outside Apple stores when a new product is released?
Apparently some dude camped out for two weeks to get his hands on a new phone… And I've seen reports where other people have camped out… Okay you're going to get that with a few people but it seems a mad rush. Lines that circle entire blocks…

Anyone else find this strange behaviour ( albeit harmless ) ?
What psychology is at play here?
Added (1). Ike - me 2 I don't even own a mobile phone… Well that's not true I've been given two they are sitting in boxes in the cupboard… Probably way outdated now…
Honestly i find it stupid.
Apple is a cult.
I think it's an infantile desire to have something someone else doesn't have. The first guys wait in line for weeks to get to say to everyone else: "Look what I have that you don't have. I got this semi-useful consumer product minutes before you, Nah nah"
They want to be the first in line and they worry that the store might be sold old if they are at the back of the line. Also, some people have way too much free time.
It's a choice to have the newest technology. I don't blame him if he is a student or has a career of some kind, but if most people like looking cool it's silly.
They have turned away from God to the evil of Apple! Bible warned us of the Apple and now people are eating the fruit again!
IT IS NOT HARMLESS! YOU NOTICE EVERYTIME THERE's A WAR, APPLE RELEASE A 'NEW' PHONE OR WE GET A SCHOOL SHOOTING? HELLO?! THE SHEEPS ARE EASILY DISTRACTED FROM CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY!
The whole Apple/AntiApple thing I find hilarious, Sandy: o)
- Will the free Iphone 4s that will be released on sep 20 come with earpods? I saw on the at and t website that is won't come with ear pods but when I looked on the bestbuy website it said that it would come with earpods and have lte so will it or will it not? The 4s IS 4G I just want to know if it will have LTE along with the 4g
- Why do people camp outside apple shops foe iphone 6? I mean i love my iphone i have 5s and thinking of getting 6 plus or whatever they called it, but there's no way i'll camp outside for two weeks, i get that they want to be the first ones to get it but i mean they only be first one of that store and they can only brag about it for like 5 mins will next person buys one. Wtf… Is there a shortage on them or something lol?
- When will the new iPhone 6 Phablet come out in stores? Rumours say that the new iPhone 6 phablet will be a phone/tablet. How is this possible? The new mobile os: IOS 8 is definitely going to come out this fall.
- What's the difference from an OEM product and an original product? I need a new charger for my iPhone and I don't know if I should go buy an OEM charger from eBay or go buy an actual apple charger from Walmart that's going to be way more expensive. Since OEM is basically the same thing without retail packaging, would there be a difference in quality?
