I’m more impressed that the escalators didn’t collapse.

People here don’t know the reason of the frenzy. It’s because of the low price on the first opening of IPhone13 and resell them in a higher price.

[niudixiao]

However，the fact is that the shopping mall located in xi’an gave a discount for about 20%off at that day to celebrate its anniversary, which means the lowest price for iphone at that time.

Its like they were hungry for days and now the food arrived, but no seeing people running for an iPhone is sad.

I get how crazy can people get, but this is the craziness that I would never get

[yufenghe]

What’s interesting is that for foreigners, this is a lot of people, but for China, this is not so special. Many of them buy apples and re-sell them at sameday

It's a historic moment to witness so many people with only one kidney under the same roof. 🙏

[AmanKhoo]

The main purposes is : re-sell!
That’s the whole point of this frenzy

If only people rushed to help fellow humans in the same way they rushed to help themselves

One person planning to buy Iphone 13: *let's just come back tomorrow*

This is like Train To Busan all over again.

The sad reality of our life.. consumerism and materialism has driven us to worship items that hold no value whatsoever while willingly sacrificing whatever little dignity we have left in us until the next shiny thing comes out and we repeat.

I can't help but feel depressed by this... where is your mind and your priorities when a new phone means this much to you? Also, I feel a touch of schadenfreude at them all being told to go home haha

Economist: how bad do you want customer to like your product.

Apple: YES.

[ghuxlhexxalot_]

The people who ordered online must be sitting on their couch so comfortably seeing this and laughing

[Nohamostafa]

It is like they didn't see any touch screen phone in their whole life, it crazy to see an obession demonstarte in a physical form .
