People Are Organising Campouts For The iPhone 8 Before It’s Even Announced

Nerds assemble! Ahead of Apple‘s 2017 product launch, people are already starting to figure out just how to get their hands on the brand new iPhone 8 as soon as possible.

Every time there is a new release, we see just how obsessed people are with the products, and how far they are willing to go in order to make sure the latest phone is warming their pocket, as seen with last year’s release.

The much-anticipated product launch will take place Wednesday morning, Australian time. If the timing of release takes a a similar pattern to previous years, this means that pre-orders for the phone will happen at the end of the week, with phones in stores the following week.

But people are already gearing up to have all bases covered.

There have been posts on Airtasker, the website that allows you to outsource jobs to the highest bidder. A Sydney based man named Winston Z. has created a post on the site, willing to pay someone to wait in line the night before the release date to grab him two phones. He says it will be roughly 8-10 hours in line, and he’s willing to pay.

He will no doubt likely find luck, with people already lining up outside of the Apple store in Sydney, two days before the release announcement, and many many days before the actual phones will be in store.

It turns out this camper is Mazen Kourouche, who admitted that he is lining up this early in order to make a YouTube vid about the experience, instead of pre-ordering and having the phone arrive at a more convenient place where you don’t have to line up.

He will no doubt soon be joined by enthusiastic Apple fans with too much time on their hands, and the deep burning desire to spend their cash on a pretty button machine.
