Any idea what the price will be with a new contract or eligible upgrade?

399 for 64gb.
so far pretty weak and/or incremental upgrades. nothing earthshattering.

Why do people shell out $400 every 6 months for a fucking phone?

Thought poor ppl did $200 every 2 years...dunno all our phones are free...

2 years?! How can you go more than one generation without an upgrade!?!?

Because you can sell your old one every six months for $500 and get paid to upgrade by people who hate contracts. I haven't paid for one since I got my first.

Although this time around, I'm pretty sure I'm going to eat the cancellation fee and switch to Verizon for LTE.

So in your life owning a phone is just another way of making money? Trading it every six months in some retarded way of bartering? Is this what phone ownership has become for you?

What a boring life you must lead, marking your calender to get a new phone.

Thanks Tim! *yawn*

does it run Adobe Flash?

does it come with antivirus?

does it run android?

Does having unprotected anal sex with another man make you gay?

If all it took to get up and running was to restore from a backup, would you not trade-up your PC every year for free? Or would you instead skip a few generations, willfully enduring worse performance, until your current hardware is worthless, and then pay full price out of pocket?

I fail to see what has you so upset.

Earpod? Come on.

Same reaction when they released the iPad. But the name caught on...

I'll be buying one on Friday. But not because "OMGAZ I gotta have the new iThing!", but because my phone has less than a gig of space left on it and I need the spaaaaace...

EarPods are designed to direct sound into the ear.

The short answer is "No...I would not upgrade every single year just because it was free."

Not to sound like a prick, but you sound exactly like one of the throngs of brainwashed consumer whores that corporations dream about. Heaven forbid you actually *gasp* use a perfectly good phone for longer than the next release.

Jesus...so it really is nothing more than a retarded bartering method for you.

I will be doing a bitWISE and getting a 5 next week for next to nothing. Win.

How?
