No one wants to queue for animated poo

Apple’s iPhone 8 launch day has been a disaster with hardly anyone showing up.

Just a dozen or so bored people queued up outside Apple’s flagship store in London. The unnecessary religious act of queuing for an Iphone when you can order the thing online, is as important to the Apple cult as baptism is for the Christian church. It tells the world that owning an Apple device is so important, super and cool that you are prepared to queue for hours to get one before anyone else.

It is also a good marketing opportunity for Apple and its Tame Apple Press to try to convince the world that overpriced, out-of-date technology is “popular”.

The Daily Wail showed up for its usual launch picture to find only a dozen shoppers queue at Apple's flagship London store for the launch of tech firm's new £700 iPhone 8. This was not because it was a piece of rubbish and the great unwashed had enough of Apple, it was because they were all waiting to spend $1200 on the iPhone X when and if it ever comes out.
