Dude, you’ve made over 100 comments on this website and you’re accusing Quinn of being a ‘mind controlled drone’? Get a life, if he wants to wait in life let him, no one is getting on you for repairing scrotums or doing whatever you enjoy doing.

If you equate your preferences to those of others, you’re never going to be able to understand why people do what they do. Also, they might not have lined up last year like you did. I have an iPhone 3GS, the home button is gone, and the screen is so cracked that you can see the innards of the phone. So yeah, I personally wouldn’t mind spending my day off waiting a bit.

If I take a day off, it’s to rest, not spend it with a bunch of other basement dwellers waiting on a device just slightly different than the one I waited in line for a year ago.

Also you’re apart of something. It’s the same with any electronic devices. There’s a reason people line up for video game consoles days before the launch dates. Not to mention black Friday sales. With the time you wait, sure, you could make more working at your job. But why not use an off day to save a bit?

Why so butt hurt? You’re the one that brought up saving $30 – $50 by taking advantage of the trade in program. You then retaliate by stating that you get paid “mire” than that in an hour at your job(I can only imagine it involves removing your pants). Seems to me you are compensating for something…..Or you are one of those out of control fanboys, sucked in to the vortex of the Apple cult.

A little melodramatic, aren’t we? $30-$50 won’t break my bank, and I won’t stand in line for it, either. I get paid mire than that in a hour of time at my job. But it’s sure as hell is worth getting up at 2AM to order on the 20th and save it. Giving away money for pure laziness and convenience is the height of stupidity, no matter what “world” you live in.

Sounds like a first world problem. If $30 – $50 is going to break your bank, you need to be spending your money elsewhere.

Here’s one very practical thing that will happen- the trade in value of any existing iPhone will plummet. I got a good trade in price for my old iPhone 4 that my son has been using (we do the hand me down system at my house). Those quotes last for 30 days. If I don’t get a new phone, I can’t send that one in. If I slip past the date, I’ll drop $30-$50 waiting a week or two after launch.

With so many retail outlets also doing trade ins now, I can assire you this will be a be on the minds of some buyers who know what they’re doing.

Interesting theory. I would agree if the 5C were also available for lineup and order on the same date. If Apple wanted huge lines, both would be that way. The 5C stands to be very popular here in the US with the cheaper price and its color options.

I also disagree on this tactic helping alleviate the problem of smaller stock. Apple knows that some fence-sitters will go ahead and get the 5C on preorder. They also know that a number of people can’t or won’t line up because of work, health, or because the just don’t want to. Them placing their orders on the 20th gives Apple more time to deliver. Apple will have a small number that will deliver in 3-5 days. Then the delivery dates will slip. It spreads the demand. I’ll probably have to do this myself, because I can’t take off a day of work just to stand in line.

So either way those phones are going to be sold. The reason that Apple has decided not to do pre orders is to increase the size of their lines in an attempt to buck the trend of people starting to think that IPhones aren’t in high demand (AKA aren’t as cool as they used to be). You may think this is just a theory but watch CNN and Fox and ABC news the day they go on sale, you will hear the phrase “look at the size of that line”. Then there will be some statement from apple about the overwhelming amount of people who showed up to buy the phones and how it was a record day. BUT what you won’t hear on the news and you certainly not from apple is “OH the reason they all had to walk down here is because they couldn’t preorder”. Thus the average Joe will see that huge line and think “Well that must be the best phone ever look at all those people” and go buy it. Apple has worked off its cool factor for a long time and its beginning to dwindle. The IPhone 5 got 2 million preorders in the first 24 hours, but nobody SAW those people pre order so it didn’t help apples image, but just imagine all those people added to the lines.
