People all over the globe have been lining up outside Apple stores for as long as two days, bearing the scorching sun and rain showers in different parts of the world. Now we all know this is nothing new as Apple fans have been known to spend multiple days in lines outside stores in the past, be it for the iPhone 6 or its predecessor the iPhone 5s. But something that has happened for the first time is that a robot is waiting in line outside an Apple store in Sydney to get hold of the iPhone 6s or the iPhone 6s Plus.
The robot named Lucy, owned by a marketing executive Lucy Kelly is waiting in line for her. Kelly said through the iPad mounted on top of the robot: ” I obviously have my work and other things to attend to and can’t spend two days lining up so my boss at work suggested I take one of the robots down and use it to stand in my place”.
Here’s the robot lucy in this picture below:
