iphone 5

Aug 28, 2012 3:22PM PDT

I don't understand why people so interest in apple , they keep say its an investment and so forth..are they kidding me!! stocks are investment..plz get real i love the design of the the phone yes slim is great, but have you thought about the average price to make and it cost the buyer $400and up with contract-$1000. Boy is china calling U>S>A stupid.The worst nightmare
1:low battery life
2:cannot play flash without a developer
3:not a media storage
4:stuck with itunes
5:way over price!!!
and yet people still buy them when they have antenna problems on iphone4 when they first came out. lets hope it won't be #6 on the list for iphone 5

Ever look at the "real price" of those other phones?

Flash has been discontinued by Adobe. Why? Because if really did not work nicely with a Smart Phone, any Smart Phone.

People are interested in Apple because it always surprise us, and it's the symbol of science and technology development.

Apple Isn't A Symbol Of Technology

If Anything I Find That Apple Is The Stuff I Scrape Of My Shoe . They Have Yet To Suprise Me W. Any Sort Of Product , Why Buy Their Overpriced Crap When I Can Get A Galaxy S III For Only $189.99 From My Provider ? Obviously Apple Has No Intention Of Lowering Their Market Price .

And I can get an iPhone 45S from my provider

for only $199.99 which kinda makes your argument moot.

You could use the $10 that you save and buy a keyboard that wasn't broken

My post is rendered moot , by what ? 10 measly dollars , i don't think so because iPhone are nothing but worry . . think about it do you really wanna feel compeled to get an extended warranty just because you don't want your screen to crack ? Apple just sued samsung , over what ? An AUTOCORRECT FEATURE bullcrap , apple has to sue over that . If you ask me apple is just a competetive child who will stop at nothing to become the best in the game .

Keep the discussion polite and relevant to the thread. Your rant about the recent Apple/Samsung lawsuit was hardly relevant to the topic of discussion.
