Edit - Apologies, this was supposed to be a reply for 'PaGJ' post by Thinker. Still figuring out Disqus.

And the liberty to do stuff, which Apple flat out denies, just to push people further into its ecosystem and make them buy a ton of things which they already have. Subsequently them people getting discouraged from switching to any other OS just because of their big investments in iTunes and App Store.

Still it makes me wonder why people stay in line for days just to get latest Apple gizmo. Its probably oriented for for premium class with basic needs and a status to show. Certainly not for power users.

Me being a few months of 5S user, got totally disappointed with Apple's restrictions over everything. Maybe because I was coming from Android, but well, used and gave to dad. Rocking my Galaxy S5 now. Never going to buy another iPhone.

        I dont believe that those people or in other places are falling in line to buy an iphone. Even to see and test how is the new iphone, normal people will not waste there time for so long line.If that so may be they are paid for promotional marketing strategy. If that is jolibee i do believe ha ha ha

          The only problem he found that he misses the spen

          "So that's a problem, but beyond that, I don't find myself missing anything else on the Note. The screen may be the same resolution, but the increased contrast of the iPhone 6 Plus makes it look better when out and about. The battery life of the Plus seems superior to the Note in how I use it, and every app that I use on the Note I'm also able to find on the Plus. As an Android user this is hard for me to admit, but almost all of those apps look and work better on iOS than on Android."

                  "The photographer explains what Focus Pixels are and why they’re a “big deal,” and shows what he can do with these cameras, which is far beyond taking selfies and regular day-to-day life pictures.

                  “The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus pack in new innovations that make the camera experience better and more fun,” Mann concludes. “What I love most about these innovations is they focus on enabling iPhone users to better capture and share life rather than just beefing up tech specs. The Apple team clearly understands their user base very well and incessantly strives to create devices that solve technical challenges and simplify experiences and they’ve done that yet again with the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus camera"

                  If you can take great photos it doesnt matter what reads on paper.

                  If your device is fastest phone in the world it doesnt matter what reads on paper

                          These people are hired by Apple to wait in line to give an impression of demand but normal people don't do that.

                            well i-sheep are a different breed of people. willing to pay over the odds, for an under powered, over price smartphone. just because it has an apple badge. i used to be one of those, i woke up and got an android device, and never looked back.

More fundamentally, how do they manage their essential bodily functions, like sleeping and the other activities?
