Rob Shoesmith, a 29-year-old who works for Medl Mobile, is already in line for the iPhone 5 at London's Covent Garden Apple Store, reports Metro.co.uk.

The 29-year-old has been given everything from scented candles and aftershave to use of a £20,000 Chevrolet car, £800 worth of outdoor gear and food from top restaurants.

The freebie grabbing is part of a publicity stunt while he camps outside London's flagship Apple store to be first in line for the new iPhone 5 later this year.


Shoesmith plans to use his blog to promote companies that donate products and services to help him with the experience. The stunt will also help him build contacts for Medl Mobile, the app development company he is marketing manager for.

Reusable items that Shoesmith receives while waiting for the iPhone will be donated to charity once the wait is over.
