New iPhones. Same lines.
After eight years of watching people line up for new iPhones, what is there left to say?
Let’s just go right to the social media and enjoy the nonsense.

Remember, no matter how rough your morning was today, at least you didn’t have to stay up all night getting the store ready and then still muster enough energy to perform the required clapping and cheering to impress Apple customers.
No matter how many times I read about the person who had a robot stand in line, the only thing I can think is: How did someone not put their fist through the screen?
Why queue for the new iPhone when you can send a robot instead? http://t.co/wBT2Is9kjS http://t.co/QomdJV0QeM

The iPhone line in the U.S. capitol was particularly astonishing:
Now, unbox your iPhones. Hit your iCloud restore. And then let’s get ready to do this all over again next year.
