He bought the first one, sold it next year to get iphone 2, sold it again to get iphone 3...sold it again to get a 3GS. Well, now he plans to get the 5, selling is iphone 4. All his phones were completely fine. It speaks against every logic, but when Apple comes into play, the brain just shuts off for some people. |
Or maybe he's smart? Apple products usually keep their values well, so reselling your iPhone every year to buy a new model, can mean you get a relatively cheap upgrade (by smartphone standards anyway).

No, he is definitely dumb, considering the phones worked just fine. Why change if it's running flawless? I could understand if he upgrades from 3 to 5, or from 2 to 4, but every year? Waste of money.

Was it flawless though? I haven't used any iPhone a lot, but I do know that none of them have been perfect, or indeed flawless, so far. If he's got the cash and wishes to use a better device, why not upgrade?
I'll admit I don't know your friend, and he could very well be dumb as a door, I just think it's silly to say it's dumb to get a new phone a year.
