"Neistat was suspicious over the fact that the iPhone 6 crowd seemed
unenthusiastic about waiting in line, in contrast to the excited fans
of previous years. Bringing along a Mandarin translator, Aaron Reiss,
to help communicate with the crowd, Neistat asked those in line who
they were buying the iPhone for. "Pretty much everybody said they
were buying for themselves or buying for loved ones. Nobody would say
that they were reselling, and a lot of people just sorta asked us to
talk to other people," said Reiss. Police arrived around midnight,
forcing those asleep in line to wake up and stand up, or face arrest.
While Neistat admits to not being able to cover whole events, the
footage does show one officer using profane language in his negative
criticism of the crowd. One woman was detained for unknown reasons."
