London iPhone Queue

[gingerjedi]

I saw the same thing outside the Cardiff Apple store, I would say 85-90% were of Asian origin and Cardiff probably only has a 10-15% non white population.

I'm not passing any sort of judgement but just curious as to why the iPhone 5 is so popular with a certain section of society?

Cos they came and stole all the jobs and to get rich, and spend our money on iPhones.

I was expecting the mix to be more like this :

Glasgow

5th Avenue (a tourist centre in a country populated almost entirely by recent immigrants)

not for it to be entirely Indian.


I suspect that they were paid to queue, if you notice the clothing there are few expensive clothes.

To be fair we had a fire alarm test last week and the queue to get back in our office looked like that covent garden queue

Indeed. There must be some reason for this based on social demographics.

Maybe the queue in question is populated with IT workers on tier 1 visa? GO BOB!
