haha good one...

but i don;t feel like giving the phone companies what they want... i haven't signed a contract in 6 years... and if you keep your phone for more then 2 years then kudos to you cause i'm a tech junkie that needs the latest and greatest ... i need to be able to code my own hacks, change preferences beyond what the device lets me.. android is a resource hog and probably not as optimized as iOS but it's SURE is hell of a lot less restrictive!

i sell my phones for top dollar cause they are only 6 months old.. and that gives me the money to buy the latest model full price with no loss usually.. if anything $50-100 bux out of pocket.. so technically i am paying LESS then you when you sign a 2-3 year contract where ur licking the balls of the carriers paying them $250+tax and activation + your monthly bill...oh wait they let you upgrade whenever you want now!!! well that's such a scam cause you gotta pay an UPGRADE FEE of $20 per month left on your contract then the price of the discounted phone price which will then osts you just as much as the phone at full price AND you have to sign a contract!! funny funny... didn't poeple know Rogers Retention used to let you upgrade whenver you wanted if you complained enough with no upgrade fees...

with no contract i can leave Rogers whenever i want.. and being with them the last 15 years since high school when they were Rogers AT&T so my plan is pretty sweet.. ..it sucks that Rogers doesn't have internet in Milton cause having everything with them was a bonus..

and yah Apple has good build quality... but their User Experience is HORRIBLE!! the fact that u can't use your device as a mass storage device and drag and drop files into and out of the built in memory (cause they don't have expandable memory) without itunes is just ridiculous... so i don't consider that a quality device all around.. just cause it looks nice and feels nice doesn't mean it does what a user wants..

but maybe some folks are satisfied with apps, a 4 inch screen (if u have the 5 or 5s) or a 3.5 in screen, low resolution compared to anything else out there.. and buying adapters to make sure they work with every other universal product out there... lightning adapter?? seriously? that's just Apple saying "hey this is our way of tricking you to make sure you CANNOT use any other companies charging cables and have to pay $30 for it form us to get a proper one that won't fry your phone"

so i'll enjoy my new device every 6 months contract free and looking forward to the next model in another 6 months.

So true. My Windows laptops each lasted me one year. Bought my macbook pro, had it two years and have zero desire or need for an upgrade.

You get what you pay for.

Because he doesn't "lick the balls of the carriers." This is important, somehow. I also didn't realize I was on a contract and had a shitty plan. Glad he pointed that out to me

Also because he sells his old phones and continues to buy brand new ones, there's no way they ever end up in the landfill. He's figured out a magical way of consuming hazardous e-waste products without any environmental ramifications whatsoever. Guy should get invited for a TED talk.

Apple's products are priced at a premium for reasons beyond specifications.

Because people will pay for it. That's it. It's for no other reason. Apple have the best ad men in the business.
