iPhone fans Camping Out For New iPhone

http://www.geekyharsha.in/2014/09/iphone-fans-camping-out-for-new-iphone.html

We are less than a week away from Apple’s big reveal on September 9th, and while many people are excited, some people are extremely excited.

So in theory, Apple could technically reveal none of those things, but they’d probably have a lot of angry people on their hands were that the case. Chances are, they will reveal the new iPhone(s), and the world will go crazy once again as it always does before a new iPhone releases. Some people already seem to be going crazy, though, as they are already camping out outside of an Apple store in New York City.
