It seems like we've been waiting forever... but the latest version of the ever-so-popular iPhone has finally been unveiled at an event in San Francisco. And it's called the iPhone 5. The smartphone is actually the sixth generation iPhone -- the fifth version is called the iPhone 4S --and has a faster processor, bigger screen and better camera. Are you planning to get the iPhone 5?























This is the only place people will think of socialism before normal gifts...

How many people can do basic math? The phone is worth somewhere between one and two hundred dollars. Real value - chips, transistors, labor, etc. Apple markets these things for around eight hundred, to boobs who require status symbols. But, the telcos barge in, purchase tens of thousands of these things, then resell them ON CREDIT, at prices approaching two THOUSAND dollars.
Go on, people, do your own figuring.
Meanwhile, I'll read the stories of abusive labor practices leading to suicides in China, to feed the American consumer's lust for status.
I'm kind of sick of Apple, not only because they whore themselves out with new product that does basically the same thing as the last, but also because of the customers. If you drive or walk by an Apple store on the day they debut a new product, the line is out the door and wrapped around the building, people are bitching at how slow the line is moving, some break the line to go inside and bitch at the employees for not moving fast enough, etc. Shameful.
They are also in the midst of a major military build-up, so Apple's profits may well purchase the bullets that kill out children.
How thoughtful of you to offer an opinion on something you have no knowledge of though, do you often offer to stick your foot in your mouth up to the ankle?
Same phone I have used for years
