Actually, NO!!!, that’s Apple that has its employees stand in line and wait for over a week before a product is scheduled to launch. But, the regular iZombies do take notice of those waiting in line, and they too get in line, thereby increasing the size of the waiting line, and making whatever product seem like a must-have for all the other iZombies, who will get the product, even if not the first day.
In fact, Apple has been rumored to also artificially increase the traffic volume in their stores, to make it seem as if there is always something new to be had, or to make it seem as if Apple is always having massive sales in each store.
The Apple tactics apparently work with people like you, or you are one of those Apple employees deceiving the regular public about how they must buy or need to see what’s happening in the stores.
So, what will iZombies like you do with their time once the iPhone drops in popularity? Can zombies die?
LOL ... yeah sure ... Apple pays its employees to stand in line ... :-) ...
Lying is another common thing that APPLE-HATER TROLLS do. The only problem with this lie is that others know all too well, that Apple doesn’t have to pay anyone to stand in line. Apple would have to pay them to NOT stand in line! ... :-) ...
And talking about the “traffic” in the stores, I recently was at Starbucks one Saturday morning when my iPad all of a sudden had a problem (a restarting problem), so I headed down to the Woodland Hills Apple Store (in Tulsa) and got there about 15 minutes before it opened. There were chairs outside (in the mall) and so I sat down and waited. By the time the store opened, there were 8 people waiting. I got right in, of course, and within less than 10 minutes, they agreed to replace my iPad for no cost to me. I left the store within 15 minutes of them first opening and the store WAS FULL already!
On the way out, I passed by a Microsoft store, which had a little bit more square footage than the Apple Store, and had just three customers in the store, with most of the store empty ... :-) ...
Every time I’ve been to an Apple Store (in three states) they’ve always had customers in them and never less than half full (related to how many can fit in there at full). They simply have customers there all the time.
And yes ... Apple tactics work with me ... those tactics being making their products with excellence and attention to detail, plus having one of the highest customer satisfaction ratings in the industry. They’ll work every time! ... :-) ...
Claiming something you have no evidence, and Apple has no need to pay anyone to do that. You are completely living in a world of delusion.

90210 iOS Munchausen's Apple-Plexy Syndrome (MAPS), The overwhelming compulsion to post negative, judgmental, aggressive, and false commentary on any website thread related to Apple products wherever found, including phobic reaction to projectedv Apple user euphoria. First and subsequent encounters.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, post a link to an authoritative source for these so-called rumors of yours. Even Apple could not afford to pay so many shills and make a profit at their stores, nor could such a HUGE conspiracy be kept quiet for long before a shill employee would make a complaint about working hours or some other silly claim about having to pretend. YOU are lying again.
The only one we see around here that seem impossible to kill are the Zombie members of the Apple Hate Brigade. They are also denser than a neutron star.
