A large number of Chinese gathered in front of Apple Store in New York to purchase iPhone 6, and after the all-you-can-eat all you want, the last thing seems to have dropped the iPhone to the black market

We accepted reservations of more than 4 million units in the past 24 hours from the start of reservation receptionIPhone 6"When"IPhone 6 PlusHowever, in order to purchase these new iPhones, a lot of Chinese visited the Apple Store in New York with a large group of Chinese visited. How Apple like that Chinese people purchased the iPhone,Casey NeistatHas put it in a movie and makes it public on YouTube.

Black Market Takes Over the iPhone 6 Lines - YouTube


The movie is on Thursday 18 September 2014 along Prince Street in New YorkApple Store SoHoStart from the previous appearance.


The state of 19 hours and 26 minutes before iPhone 6 release is here.


It is Asian grandmother who is arranged at the head of the column. Even if you point at the camera, even if you are talked to a store clerk at the Apple Store, you just return a smile and will not say anything.


In the movie, I also filmed other Apple stores in New York.


However, it is only Asian people that are in line with the line no matter where they go.





Casey Neistat says that the lives and excitement seen several years ago can not be seen from the row and the purpose of the people lined up in the row is completely different from the iPhone.


A woman in front of the Apple Store on the Upper West Side of New York / Manhattan ......


Child-friendly women lined up in New York's Fifth Avenue ......


Before the Apple Store in West 14th Street, the figure of a woman waiting patiently while knitting. People in the line talk uniformly "to line up to buy the iPhone", but Neistat seems not to believe that word at all.


It seems that most people who are in line by walking around the Apple Store are found to be Chinese, Neistat can speak Chinese to talk with Chinese peopleAaron ReissI called up as a helper.


That's why I ask Aaron to talk in Chinese. The man said that he was lined up in the row two days ago, and it is a rather tired mode. There are still more than half a day until iPhone sales start, but will it be okay ...?


Thanks to Aaron who skillfully handles Chinese, she seems to be able to do interviews quite smoothly.


And in the evening, people who were in line started going to bed.


Sleeping with an umbrella ......


Putting corrugated cardboard and going to sleep ......


It became a dumpling state by plural people and it is suyasuya.


I also found the monster who sleeps in a plastic bag.


While lined up in the row you will live by the side of the road, so there are mountains of garbage in there.



Because the rows are clogged soon, the people who stick out to the road also continue.


People who bring corrugated cardboard and blankets and can comfortably sleep can also see chillahora.


Most of them line up in Asia.


And the police who did not see it at last went out.


Turn around so as not to overflow into the sidewalk and the roadway because it becomes an obstacle to traffic.



"Do you know that you are a soap?"


"A terrible stinky," said a police officer who sprained a rant. I can not hide annoyance with bad manners.


Finally when the iPhone was released 7 hours ago, a fight between Chinese in the row broke out.



And even those who are seized by police officers.


It resists ... ....


It is held down by a strict policeman ... ...


I was forcibly taken by a police car as it was.



And 5 in the morning. People in the queue will ask Apple store clerks "Can I purchase in English?", But the answer is "No".


The flow of when such Chinese buy the iPhone is as follows.


First of all, say your request ......


I will purchase two iPhones.


And in most cases it's rough and easy to wear shoes and sandals.


And in the morning or the night it sleeps on the ground ... ...


I wait all the rest.


These behaviors are mostly similar before any Apple Store.




Finally iPhone 6 will be on sale, Apple Store will open. The clerk will climb the field with applause ... ...


It seems that people in the queue are finally not interested in finding the iPhone at last.



When purchasing iPhone ......


I will pay all in cash.


The old woman who got the iPhone first came out of the Apple Store.


The grandmother gathers with other iPhone purchasers ......



It will disappear somewhere.


Other purchasers ......


I purchase iPhones in one place. There is no appearance that I got the iPhone of my thought.


And people who gathered a large amount of iPhone contact with a mysterious person.


I hand over the iPhone I just purchased.





The person who received the iPhone shows something you wrote on paper ......


If iPhone purchasers are satisfied with this, cash will be paid by negotiation establishment.


It seems that such transactions have broken out everywhere, and the appearance of resenters who are angry hearty is also included in the movies.


In addition, the New York in the United States is not the only thing Chinese did in order to purchase the iPhone. Many Chinese people have been witnessed even before the Apple Store in Japan.
