Long lines make WWDC look like an iPhone launch

WWDC is set to kick off in less than 90 minutes and the lines (and hype) building around the event have reached an all-new level of insanity.

Showing up a few hours early to the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco was not enough to secure a front row seat to this year’s keynote, thanks to the lines that are so huge you’d think a new iPhone is launching.

Check out how long the line was at 6 a.m.:

Some developers started lining up for the event as early as 2 a.m. I’ve never been to a WWDC keynote, but now I’m starting to feel glad that Apple hates Cult of Mac and never gives us an invite, because this looks like pure hell:

Once you get inside, it’s apparently even worse. Press and developers are packed like sardines waiting for one of the 7,000 seats in the auditorium.
