In the past, some people have tried to snag the first spot in line outside of Apple Stores in the hopes of being able to promote their startup, brand, or cause with any media exposure.

This also isn't the earliest we've seen people line up before an Apple announcement. Last September, the line in front of Apple's New York City flagship store on Fifth Avenue began to form six days before Apple revealed the iPhone 6 for the first time - and some 16 days before the iPhone 6 was due to hit stores.
