From Yahoo Indonesia:
Jimmy Gunawan Likes The iPhone 5S AirDrop Feature
Apple’s latest mobile phones, the iPhones 5S and 5C, were available for purchase starting Friday, 20 September 2013. Their sales have been conducted in a number of countries worldwide. Of all nations, Australia was declared the first country to sell the latest iPhone products. It was noted that the first buyer of the new iPhone 5S in the world was Jimmy Gunawan, an Indonesian citizen who works as a computer animator over there.
This 33-years-old male had already started queuing at 12am midnight in front of the Apple Store located on George Street in Sydney’s CBD, east Australia. Jimmy only equipped himself with a bottle of mineral water and a thick jacket to keep himself warm from the cold weather in Sydney.
From the beginning, Jimmy preferred the 5S version over the 5C because it has more complete features. After having endured the long queue, Jimmy bought two iPhone 5S in the gold color which cost USD $2000 or approximately Rupiah 22 million. After exploring a variety of features in the iPhone 5S, Jimmy said that the AirDrop feature is his favorite.
“AirDrop … because it allows people to share photos and videos with one another very easily,” he said on news.com shortly after trying our his new iPhone 5S.

For all commenters, why don’t you leave him alone? It’s his money so don’t feel too negative towards him.

He must have worn pampers when lining up for 20 hours.
Have you ever lined up for hours to purchase something?
