Japanese Man Already Lined Up To Buy iPhone 6

Posted by samzenpus on from the first dept.

zacharye writes "Last year ahead of Apple's iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c launch, lines began forming outside Apple stores weeks in advance. At the time, we thought it was pretty crazy that anyone would line up that far in advance to buy a cell phone — but now we know what crazy really looks like. A Japanese man named 'Yoppy' says he has already lined up to buy Apple's unannounced iPhone 6, which isn't expected to launch for another seven months."

    It is going to be a long line for him. We don't even know if there will be an iPhone 6. I have on good record that doomsday is 14/14/14.

    I think he's just homeless and faking it.

    {in perfect Japanese, of course} "Move along."..

    "Hey, I'm just... waiting... yeah, for the next IPhone, that's it!"

    "Oh, Okay..."

    Step 1: Announce you are queuing up for an iPhone 6, offering no more evidence than a few photos of yourself dressed up in some pathetic attention grabbing costume. Step 2: Watch as the story is used as filler for lazy news outlets who can't be bothered to find real news to report on.
