One British man waited in line for almost two days to get an iPhone 6, but his motives were different than most people.
While avid Apple consumers were eager to wait to get the phone itself, Darius Wlodarski was doing it to prove a point. His wife of twenty years Joanna recently left him, and he waited for the new phone in an effort to prove himself and win her back.

“Since we split up, I have realized that I was not a very good father or husband,” Wlodarski told The Bristol Post. “I did so many things wrong, so I want to say sorry to my wife and daughter.”
The 41-year-old is currently unemployed on account of health issues, so he paid for the phone with his credit card after waiting in line for a total of 44 hours.

Though unsure if the phone will bring them back together, Darius wanted to at least make the gesture.
“I bought her an iPhone 5 two years ago and she was delighted,” he said. “She told me she would like an iPhone 6 because it had a bigger screen but realized we could not afford it but still, I want to buy it for her.”
Better late than never, right?
I am very happy to get something she will like but for me, it is a sad day,” he concluded. “I hope I can convince her I could be a good father and husband.”
Someone call Tim Cook and tell him this story, maybe he’ll throw in some matching iWatches to help the couple rekindle.
