To all of those who are sitting and thinking they're getting a brand new phone in the slim white boxes, I do hope you realize that there are always "b-stock" rejects coming from the factory. That's how they have refurbs on launch day.
And before long, all the people trading their phones in because of some minuscule imperfection that they found with a magnifying glass will just be trading their phones around. As those are what end up as refurbs.
Your sheer obsession will lead to you ending up with a phone far worse than the one you started with, and it serves every single one of you right.
