does not apple PAY for people to cheer and wait in their lines? (ala ancient romans)

It is PR astroturf and tantamount to false advertising.

Even OTHER companies are now paying people to stand in line with their company logos. Not to buy the phone but just to have free PR.

Beer companies are doing this now with 1 day release “craft beers”. “Free paid vacation”, “factory tours/parties”, etc. for the first 10 in line.

The “Star Wars line” mentality moved to other marketing plans.
