Eh? You didn't get it. I was talking about the sarcastic and backhanded digs you and airpasser were taking at anybody who dares to question the absolutely correct and fair pricing of Crapple, but when the glove is on the other hand, it's not so peachy anymore and sense of humor goes out the window. I wasn't talking about the essaytastic repetitive carbon copies of the same old argument that has been done to death in this thread.

Good for you, even more so because you felt the need to share that with everyone! Here I was sitting thinking you were punching a hole in your neighbor's wall. :p ;)

Well, of course! It would be silly not to make money off of cheap plastic, D'oh!

The fact that they are even considering a cheaper iPhone means that several consumer voices and constant annoyance with their pricing by several review websites has finally reached Cupertino, and the company is responding. It would be bad business not to, as not everyone is interested in a £500 smartphone.

He's back!! :D

To be honest I don't get the impression from you that its ever done in good humour or in jest. Myself and 'airshifter' are owners of both Android and iOS devices so we tend to give our opinions on the more positive sides to things rather than having an obvious dislike for a brand. You also had a dig at airshifter with a rather unnecessary name for him above which I think was a little out of order considering he's been very civil in getting his point across. At fear of accusing you of being ironic with your above comments I have to say it appears to be you that can't really take the criticisms and get more wound up by my replies than I do of yours. My defence of Apple's pricing has not changed and apologies but suggesting I come up with a new argument is pointless when I believe my previous (now lost) responses in this thread still hold the same weight now as the day I made them originally. You haven't changed your mind on this particular matter yet you expect me to come up with a new kind of response? I don't think so sonny Jim lol. If that is the topic under discussion, then that is what it is. :s mokin:

Have a good weekend everyone, finished work and off to decorate. :)

Do lighten up henners. The only one getting wounded up here is you with your two page essay earlier. The thing is that the landscape has changed, devices have changed, OS' have changed, Apple are no longer the leaders, and with their declining sales, budget iPhone offering and lowering prices of the iPhone 5, it's proof enough that they have paid heed to their criticisms. Yet your posts are exact carbon copies of the ones from one year ago with the same rhetoric defending Apple's pricing, when they themselves have lowered it in response to market pressure. Get along with the times grandpa. :p :p

And yeah, I agree, it's better to kill this topic with fire as it will only go in circles again, if past history is anything to go by. It's only electronic devices after all and none of us are getting paid by Apple, Android, Microsoft or Nokia to waste our precious Friday time on the forum.

Is it possible to make a cheaper iPhone?
I guess they will just change the name and the price, the handset is cheapo anyway.

And to continue the circle of the conversation, it comes back to the basic premise:
Are you happy with your phone?
I sure am.
I transitioned from BB to iPhone a while back
and I don't plan any changes on something that works very well for me and my family,
and yes, and with a cost that I am willing to pay.

Cheers to the tech-geeks and entrepreneurs out there that are in the forefront of technology and are giving us the possibility
of owning and using the cell phones we choose to buy.

I salute you!


It's Friday, okay?

It's a good point. I have a 4S who's basic design is 3 years old. But I'm still happy with it and typing this post on it. I've yet to see another phone which would justify taking out a new contract.

Freedom Friday :cool:

Sounds cool

My Ativ S has been playing funny buggers of late. At the moment it's not charging properly, not connecting to my PC and every once in a while it does a reset. Wasn't too bothered about the reset tbh, but not charging properly was getting annoying. Took it to Phones 4 U and the guy said started apologising for not being able to just replace it on the spot because I'd bought it over the phone. I wasn't bothered tbh, I popped the sim in my Lumia 800 and moved on with my life :) It did make me wonder what sort of customers they deal with normally though, they must get "but what am I go to do!?!?!?!?!?!" quite a lot. He apologised a few times and I was almost tempted to say "Did I complain? Did I ask for a replacement? No! Shut the **** up and book my phone in and send it off to get repaired!"
