It's really sad to see the human intelligence fading away just because Apple's propaganda works so good. I know somebody who's getting every iphone...every year again. 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.

Then let me use another example: Imagine you just bought a Phat PS3, running just fine, shiny without scratches. Now the Slim PS3 is released. Would you sell your Phat PS3 just to buy the Slim PS3? And some iphones certainly have lesser upgrade features.
I do see we have a different perspective on this one, and I can understand your point, but I don't agree with it.

I think it's more analogous to when the 360S came out and GameStop had this big offer where you could trade in your old 360 for one of the new models. I'm pretty sure they ended the offer prematurely because the interest was so big.
