Was it worth it?

CHARLESTON, SC (WCSC) -
Over 100 people gathered outside the Apple Store on King Street Friday, awaiting the release of the iPhone 5S, the latest model of the world's most popular cell phone.
The store doors opened at 8 a.m., but at least 40 people waited overnight, many of whom camped. Apple employees handed out coffee to help shoppers warm up on a brisk morning.
A spot in the line was coveted, prompting some bargains for those early enough to catch the worm.
One woman, who was originally fifth in line after driving down from Myrtle Beach, made a big sacrifice to make sure she got one of the new iPhones.
"I don't mind staying up all night if it's for a good thing," said Lisa Hoffman, who traded more than sleep for the new technology.
She must have been super thirsty or something cuz it's not like Apple is shorting the supply. I remember not too long ago when whatever version of the iPhone first came out and there were all these people queuing outside the store for one at some ridiculous hour. Meanwhile, my cousin dropped by the Apple store after work around 6 in the evening, waltzed into the store and bought one, no line.

If you did your research, you would know that the iPhone 5s was in EXTREMELY short supply for this launch.
I will never understand why people go nuts over a phone that probably the same **** you already have. You have people getting arrested, hell you might as well sell your kids to get one while you're at it People are crazy! It shouldn't be that serious.
People do this same dumb **** every single time Apple release something, you'd think they'd learn by now. Next year they'll just be waiting in line again for the newer iphone that comes out because the one they have just bought now went out of style.
People are crazy! It shouldn't be that serious.
