Why do some people wait in line for hours to buy the iPhone?

Why do some people wait in line for hours to buy the iPhone? Do they really HAVE TO HAVE IT A. S.A.P. - especially when phones with its same features and more have already existed for over a year?

Because they are friggin idiots

BAAAA! BAAAA! That is the sound of the iSheep clamoring to suck on the latest iTeat. I wish I had customers that naive, I could convince them to accept any thing I tell them.

OMG IKR! It's ridiculous! Why can't they just wait like a month until the craziness for the iPhone 5 has kinda died down a little bit. I especially hate it when people say they want the 5 but already have the 4s I mean technically its pretty much the same thing
