I can see where this is going. In a few more years, you'll need to dress up in Formal Wear to pick up your Apple Gizmo.
Scene at swanky Apple Store. A bouncer scowls at the line forming up, as desperate customers try to slip the Maître d' a little something to find a spot for them. Meanwhile, inside...
Customer: Monsieur! Your finest iPhone, if you please.
Snooty Waiter: Our very best from Shenzhen, China. A Foxconn 2018, very good year.
Snooty Waiter cuts shrinkwrap and offers it to the customer.
Customer: *sniff* Excellent bouquet, Polyolefin with just a touch of plasticizer.
Snooty Waiter: Excellent choice, sir!
