just a planned artificial shortage, if they made a surpluss stock value would drop and the sheep would not feel special when they managed to "get" one. This way they can keep the price up longer.
 
This makes no sense as just a few days ago Toms reported that they simplified things inside the IPHONE5 by combining some things but that it would make fixing more difficult.
 
[citation][nom]alexthager[/nom]There are so many arguments you can make against the iPhone, but don't make up a false story. Apple's "i" devices are incredibly easy to use. In the mock iPhone 5 commercial from Samsung, why do you think the kid is holding the spot for his parents? Because, iPhones are easy to use, that's why many older people love the device.[/citation]
People love it because it's a status symbol
 
My FIRST PHONE:

I actually miss my first cellphone.
It had a B/W LCD screen like a calculator and I could easily turn it, select someone from SPEED DIAL and call them in ONE SECOND.

Am I the only one who wants a phone ONLY to be a phone?
(Anyway, I pay $100 a year for my cellphone plan and took the remaining $1860 saved versus a 3-year subscription at $60 a month and built an awesome GAMING RIG. Money better spent IMO).
 
I will buy an iphone 5 when they fix the crappy coating.
I'm not buying that to keep it in a case and I'm not paying that amount of cash for a product with the same aluminium coating quality as a PC case.

Fail designers and engineers. You can achieve that satin texture with tougher, lighter materials.

 
It's probably from the severe cost cutting methods from Apple and all the anti-knock off things in it.
