With nine more days to go before either one of the two new iPhones hit the shelves, one guy in Tokyo is already camping outside his local Apple shop, hoping to be the first to get his hands on the new hardware.

“I'm lined up at the Ginza Apple Store where the new iPhone 5S launches in ten days,” writes @Xxxprius, the guy pictured above. “This might be tough.”

Ya’ think?

I’ll be totally honest with you people. There used to be a time when I found the whole Apple loyalty thing endearing, but these days it just encourages “sheep” jokes.

I mean, sure if the new iPhones had a radically new design and murdered competition, I’d agree it would probably be worth a 10-day sit-out with occasional showers of rain and mockery from passersby.

But when the only truly awesome thing Apple unveils is a fingerprint sensor attached to a phone we’ve all come to terms with, it’s just a really sad sight.
