The iPhone 6 is set to be unveiled on September 9th (http://www.pcr-online.biz/news/read/iphone-6-to-be-unveiled-at-september-9th-apple-event-report/034489), and a queue has already started forming outside NYC's flagship Apple store.
Two people were so desperate to be first in line that they have paid $2,500 to another pair in order to swap places and secure the top spot.
Brian Ceballo and Joseph Cruz from US electronic reseller and pre-owned specialist BuyBackWorld were originally first in line, but sold their places to Jason and Moon Ray for $1,250 each. The Rays are promoting a VideoMedicine iPhone app that allows patients to Skype with doctors, reports CNBC (http://www.cnbc.com/id/101967509).
It's the fifth year Ceballo has waited in line with Cruz, and he reckons he's made $7,000 waiting for Apple launches, as well as substantially growing his social media following.
New reports also suggest that rock band U2 will have some involvement in the iPhone 6 press event and launch next week.
Music Promotor Stephen Browne has leaked a photo (https://twitter.com/Stephenbrow/status/507196399231201280/photo/1) which allegedly shows the band shooting a video for the event.
It is thought that the iPhone 6 might come pre-loaded with U2’s new album.
There has been speculation that a two-story structure that has been recently built outside the Flint Center - the September 9th event site - may be a stage for the band.
Apple’s iPhone 6 is rumoured to come with a 4.7-inch display, 10MP camera, NFC connectivity and humidity, pressure and temperature sensors. (http://www.pcr-online.biz/news/read/iphone-6-to-be-unveiled-at-september-9th-apple-event-report/034489)
