This madness needs to stop. What sucks the most is that a large portion of those sales are coming from people with perfectly good iPhone 3/3s/4/4s/5/What ever the fuck elses. Just throwing a way money and depleting resources.

To be fair, at this day and age, 3 and 3S just suck. 4 is also dated.

OP:

Meh, I didn't want the 5C to succeed. If only the HTC One could experience this type of success.

For what most of these buyers would use the phone for, the 3/3s would work just fine.

Disagree... The web browser on my Samsung S3 even lags sometimes compared to the S4, etc.  When is the last time you tried surfing the web using the 3s.  I'd about bore my eyes out if you forced me to do that...

 

Upgrades are good for the economy, as most of the time old phones are resold over and over until they fail, not sure what you mean about resources.  It's a big ecosystem.
