Walked by the Apple store during launch in Toronto and it was pandemonium... People waiting, laughing, crying(joy).

Then I went to best buy and no one was there buying iPhones. I asked them how come and they said that masses just don't want to buy iPhones from non Apple stores on day 1.

Apparently people who buy the iPhone on day 1 are in it for the "Apple" experience. Very cult like if you think about it...

"Cult like" lol...

Hundreds of people were lining up outside my local 'O2' shop as well, so it's not just Apple stores people buy them at on day 1. Even so, people just enjoy the experience of lining up with like-minded people in order to be among the first in he world to use the product. Nothing wrong with that. Are people who line up at midnight to get videogames "cult like" as well then, according to you?
