I write this from a mall, in complete awe of what I see. There are groups of people all standing in line for the iPhone 4, and some have stood for more than ten hours.
Can you remember the last time you stood in line for ten hours? If so, you might’ve been a communist, waiting for rations, or something similar.
And the joke may be on them. Because the iPhone 4 might be having just a wee bit of reception problems. In addition to camera problems.
A first-run Apple product that has initial bugs that need to be worked on and kinks that haven’t been fixed yet? Color me shocked. Color me incredibly, incredibly shocked. And by incredibly shocked — I’ll stop there. You all are smart enough to understand sarcasm.
Apple’s initial order of the iPhone 4 overwhelmed the store, selling out the first of their us run, and in order for the masses to get theirs, giant lines have sprung up all across the us. People with hipster glasses, rabid fanboys, and even more surprisingly, semi-rabid fangirls are all outside the futuristic shell of the Apple store. All to get their iPhone. Say what you want about Apple, their tendencies to micromanage, their protection of their copyrights, and Steve Jobs’ amazingly consistent wardrobe choices — they know how to inspire a fanbase. And if the people outside with cases of Redbull and Apple facepaint don’t convince you of that, nothing will.
