The first batch of "fruit powder" in Britain to buy iphone4S was shown to the media.

The scene outside the Japanese store was once chaotic.

Since the launch of the iphone, Apple has been sought after by users all over the world, and some fanatical Apple fans are even called "fruit powder". According to foreign media reports, Apple iphone4S has been sold in the United States, Canada, Australia, Britain, France, Germany and Japan on October 14th. Because this generation of iphone is regarded as the legacy of Steve Jobs, one of the founders of Apple, die-hard fans can be seen waiting in line outside the store all over the world. Many crazy "fruit powders" have even been waiting in line in the cold wind for 17 days.

In the Apple store in London, England, there are as many as 778 people queuing to buy the iphone4S. According to a well-known mobile phone website, 89% of the "fruit powder" who came to line up were men.

The first person who bought the iphone4S in London that day was a Danish man named Jonas, who was one of many foreign "fruit fans" who made a special trip to Britain to buy the phone. When interviewed by local media, Jonas couldn’t restrain his excitement. He said, "I’m so happy. I can’t wait to go home and experience this iphone. "

Due to the time difference, Australia became the first country in the world to sell the iphone4S. When the store opened at 8: 00 a.m. local time, the clerk in the specialty store saw hundreds of fans crowding the whole block.

In the Apple store on Fifth Avenue in New York, USA, a large number of fans have been waiting in line in the cold wind for a long time, and some even started to queue up 17 days ago. In Japan, the first country in Asia to sell, the queue in front of the Apple flagship store in Tokyo was endless, and the scene was once chaotic due to the failure of the shopping mall system.

It is not uncommon for many people to wait in line for many days for the products to be listed in today’s society. Whenever new video games, movies and even bestsellers such as Harry Potter are released, fans will set up tents in front of the store a few days in advance, just to "try early" at the first time. But in the field of science and technology, this kind of thing is like "rare", and this kind of grand occasion will only appear every year when Apple releases new products.

Iphone4S has no breakthrough in appearance compared with the previous mobile phone, but its new Siri voice assistant is undoubtedly the most concerned function. A "fruit fan" who bought the mobile phone showed this function to the media. He said to the mobile phone, "How far is it from Washington, DC?" The mobile phone screen directly displays the navigation map, marks the road to Washington, DC, and tells the user the distance. When asked "How can I go to Shanghai", the mobile phone replied: "Sorry, there is no map of China."

Interestingly, if you prepare some interesting questions, you will also get interesting answers. When asked "Would you like to marry me" on the mobile phone, the iphone4S gave the answer: "Let’s just be friends, ok?"

Most buyers are not buying Apple products for the first time. Many of them not only have iPhone, but also replace them with new ones every generation. It is reported that the first-day pre-order of iPhone4S has exceeded 1 million units, surpassing the 600,000 units of the last iPhone4. The three major American telecom companies also said that the iPhone4S for pre-order has been sold out, which shows that its charm has fascinated the world. Bloomberg predicts that the sales of iphone4S will reach 4 million units.
