So have u heard about people queuing to buy the yet to be released iPhone 6? Well those people are actually getting paid by apple's partners. Read....




Tech fans the world over are poised for the big reveal of the new iPhone 6 on September 9.

But some people are turning the event into a business opportunity - by being paid to wait in line outside New York's flagship Apple Store weeks ahead of the launch.

Jason and Moon Ray, a married couple from Austin, Texas arrived in New York to stand in front of Apple’s store and are being sponsored by a new app company called Video Medicine.




Wearing sponsored T-shirts, these professional queuers have waited for as long as three weeks to get their hands on Apple's newest phone - which won't actually be released to the public until September 19.

Other Apple enthusiasts are also getting sponsored by tech companies to line up weeks before the release.

Joseph Cruz from Staten Island, NY had arrived the day before, securing the first and second position along with his cousin.







Working with companies for sponsorship, the Apple fans can have their iPhones paid for as long as they agree to wear the branding of the company they are dealing with.

The Rays have come prepared, travelling with a tent, solar panel to charge their phones and sleeping bags.








They are also making use of the local YMCA to shower and use the bathroom.

This isn't Cruz's first time either.

He explains: 'I'm a veteran at this. I have done this every year for the past five years now. The first time I did it for two weeks was last year.'

He adds: 'Me and my cousin do it for the experience and we know that we'll get sponsored by companies.

'They're basically buying us the new iPhone, paying for our food and we're advertising their company.'









Grinning, he tells the camera: 'Now I got $1,250 in my pocket, free iPhone and free food. What more could you ask for?'

As the date of the big reveal edges closer, rumours are swirling about just what the iPhone 6 will include.

A frenzy has been created by leaked photos and specifications that appear to show different things.









Some believe larger screens will be a feature of the new phone, while others are on tenterhooks about iWatch wearable devices.

Battery life is also expected to be much better, while a new super-fast WiFi chip, improving internet speeds dramatically.

....

So do u mean one should not buy the phone when it comes out?
Or we should go and sue apple for paying people to queue?

This technique is made in Aba

In Aba, you get into a bus with about 9 persons, wait for about 30 minutes for the bus to get filled up, just when you're happy that someone is coming from behind, to take the remaining 'one chance,' the door at the left side of the bus opens up, and 6 thugs climb out of the bus!




Grand deception.

iTrick, iDeception.

It's in no way Apple's fault if other companies pay people to advertise their company while queuing for an iPhone.

OP change the title. It's misleading.

why should I change the title when I'm so so right on the money?





Remember these guys are apple partners? Who sent them? If not apple?

Largest Companies by Market Cap

Market Cap Definition: Market cap (i.e. market capitalization) is the total market value of the company's outstanding shares. To calculate a company's market cap, you simply take the current stock price and multiply it by the total number of shares outstanding. For example, if Apple (AAPL) had 935 million shares outstanding and its stock price was $570 per share, its market cap would be $532.9 billion (935 times $570). Market cap is often used by investors to obtain a quick estimate as to a company's overall value. Investors will often use market capitalization as one factor in determining a prospective stock purchase. For example, an institutional investor may want to limit their stock purchases to companies with market capitalizations greater than $5 billion in order to ensure sufficient liquidity. Stocks are often categorized by market cap: large-cap ($10 billion or more), mid-cap ($2 billion-$10 billion), small-cap ($300 million-$2 billion), and micro-cap (less than $300 million).

Largest Companies by Market Cap Table Decription: The following table lists the 50 largest companies by market cap (available on major US stock exchanges). The table includes: company ticker symbol, company name, market cap rank, and market cap (in billions of dollars) as well as the stock's one-day, one-month, and 12-month percent change. For summary statistics of these 50 largest companies by market cap as well as how they compare to the Dow, simply scroll down to view the summary table.

Apple are giving fake impression that people can't wait to have their phone .



The queue thing for iPhone is clearly staged as u can see here

It's not staged. It's just that some companies pay people to stand in the queues wearing the names of such companies on their shirts for advertisement purposes. Apple Inc does not pay anyone to queue. Can't you read?

Android fanboys on the brink again..y ya al hating all coz during the unveiling of ur smartphones dey ain't any awareness such as diz..ur worst night mare smartphone and smartwatch would be unveiled with time..come September 9...iPhone6 and iwatch unveiling to wow u guys..haters sure gona hate

What do u expect when a united states franchise goes into battle with a Korea Franchise?



Well for the records......

Seriously dude that's how it's done over there. When a major product is about to be released you see people queue up just to have the bragging rights that they were among the first to buy it. Even recently when marijuana was legalized in three states in the US there were long queues in front of marijuana shops on the night before the official take off day.

xtervaganza: your 5 inch copy copy iPhone and copy copy smartwatch




not sure if iPhone or icopy

guess u have no idea wah u talkin about ..if u know wah has bin happening between apple and samsung for years in regards to apple always charging samsung for copying even on innovation which has their patent right on it..believe me yhu av no idea..av u forgotten some years back about Samsung paying apple 1billion dollars for copying their product..so be real and stop the fanboyism

xtervaganza: apple won a court case against samsung in apple's region.




What do u expect when a united states franchise goes into battle with a Korea Franchise?
Wen did u start following Tech news?wen did Samsung start making their GALAXY series,before IPAD or after


Well for the records......







How can you copy what you produce? Lol

Very childish question,wen did Samsung start making GALAxy range of products,before IPads or after? SAMSUNG blindly copies APPLE from design to finish,for ur info,APPLE HAS WON CASES against Samsung out the USA,E.g,in Germany an Australia. Another point of correction ,Samsung does not produce apple parts,wt they produce is memory chips,an APPLE can decide to buy from another supplier

Anything to survive the competitive world is welcomed.
