NeoBytes :) is an occasional feature that takes a step back from the big headlines, to take a look at what else is happening in the vast, scary expanse of the tech world - often with a cynical eye, always with a dose of humour.
If you hadn't heard, Apple announced three new products yesterday at its event at the Flint Center in Cupertino, California. Apple unveiled the iPhone 6, the iPhone 6 Plus, and the Apple Watch. While these devices won't be making there way to stores shelves yet, it looks like comedian Jimmy Kimmel has an exclusive, to yet another impressive Apple product, the iLine.
The iLine made its debut last night on the late night talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live. We know that Kimmel is a huge fan of Apple products, debuting Apple's Casio iWatch over a month ago, but the iLine takes it to a new level, offering eager Apple fans, literally nothing. That's right, after waiting in line, for days or maybe even weeks, Apple will take your hard earned $600 USD and award you with the magic of simply standing in line.
The commercial for the iLine spoofs Apple's PR presentations by having those involved discuss the product in a very intimate and elegant manner. While this might not be a real product, Kimmel is right about one thing, people are devout, often waiting in line for weeks, without even knowing when the product might be released. Luckily, Apple announced that the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus would be making its debut on September 19th, 2014.
