New Zealand-based Apple carrier Spark used robots to queue for the much coveted device, so their human counterparts didn't have to line up for days. 。
Thanks for signing up!。
The 100 Alpha 1 robots were purchased by Spark for this specific purposes, and have been chilling outside the store since Sept. 9. 。
The humans assigned to each robot had the option of watching a live stream of the queue from the comfort of their warm, dry home. 。

Controlled through the customers soon-to-be-replaced phone (via an app), the robots can be commanded to do pushups, kung fu, yoga and even have a casual boogie. As an added incentive, customers also got to keep the bot at the end of it all. 。
What a time to be alive. 。
