Why do so many people wait in line for the new iPhone every year?

Seriously, why not just wait a few days or weeks to get it? I just don't see the point in going out to the Apple Store really early to wait in a huge line just to get the new iPhone.

I'm an Apple user, and this is exactly how I feel. It's not like the phone is COMPLETELY different, anyway. Right?

It's a statement about who they are to the culture around them. I use the iphone because I find it easy. I also happen to love the phone. But I will wait. I will never stand in line to get one. I don't even like standing in line at the movies except in the rate occasions of opening weekends like Star Wars. I love seeing the hype of it but I'm so glad I was not a worker in a Verizon store or apple store today. That would not have been fun.

Because they like the phone & want it as soon as possible. Also some do it for the experience of being there on launch day.

  • Why does apple release a new iphone every year? I don't think it's fair. We all spend so much on a new iphone and find out a new one s coming out next year… It just really annoys me!
  • Why does Apple keep releasing new products every year? Why does Apple keep releasing new versions of the iPhone every year? Sometimes the newer version really doesn't make a difference from the older version. Also am I the only one who hates it when they release new versions of the iPhone? Like I want to an iPhone but I'm scared that they'll come out with a new one making mine look old even though I just bought it. Woah! There's no need to throw unnecessary hate in my direction. Mmmkay
  • Why do so many people go crazy for new gadgets and technology? Queue up for days just to be the first to get a new iPhone… Upgrading things when the old one works just fine… Why do people want the newest "in" thing so much? What's wrong with buying a phone and keeping it for 5 years until it breaks down and THEN replacing it?
  • Why do people buy the new Iphone every year? I'm sorry, but I'm just wondering why the hell people waste $200 or $300 on the new Iphone when it has a LITTLE change to it. It's ridiculous and I just want to know… Why.
