I didn't miss your point... Talk practical and not trash... A healthy argument is worth it...
Like you said make tea in a tea pot made of chocolate, it is as trash as asking some to make a phone of cloth or grass... So talk feasible and sense... Just don't go spewing nonsense for the sake of argument...
You are clearly the person here talking trash and not me. If you actually bothered to read the post I was replying to it may (or perhaps not...) made sense to you.
My comment was in reply to the post "Design is what makes it work. Design makes it beautiful. Material is immaterial."
Material is very important. This sort of talk is what I have come to expect (and sometimes love) from designers. I spent the early part of my engineering career doing one of two things when working with them.
1. Wasting hours/days and causing delay's to projects trying to get the designers to see that practical function has equal merit and not just the design.
or
2. Letting the designers do as they wish, then wasting hours/days correcting the problems of design over function.
That was the reason for my comment, which as you can see has far more basis than your mindless rant I am replying to. In fact it is a common expression and I have never heard and still do not understand your grass iPhone nonsense etc, or what it has to do with my post about the importance of material selection.
And I suspect, neither do you... Happy spewing.. LOL

So instead of last year's model at $99, you can buy an all-new (slightly improved in many respects) model for $99. Is that a bad thing?
From my perspective, yes.
As I do not feel the 5C is improved in respect of the design over the 5. This is confirmed by the fact Apple are selling the 5S as a premium product with very minor exterior changes over the one made obsolete to make room for the 5C?
