iPhone 5S White Box (Official) Yuk

It's the same, trying to extrapolate time differences is nitpicking the analogy. A phone can last you forever or 1 minute if you decide to buy another one or that plate of food could cost you $10,000 for those ten minutes so it can costs more so time is irrelevant. They are both presenters of the item you are paying.

Lmao race generalizations... :p

No.. It was just a bad analogy. Here is why... MOST people and I guarantee you its most, don't care what the box looks like that the iPhone comes in. But MOST people would care if their food came on a paper plate at a restaurant.

Lol, that is not a reason for saying its a bad analogy.

Also, if its food I really want and I can only obtain it at that restaurant and they only serve in plastic plates then I would just eat it like that because I have no choice if I want the product is presenting. I would also complain about the paper plates to others.

I will get my iPhone 5s in white and silver. Will having an ugly box retain me from getting one, nope. But, I do find the box ugly. Design up to the minute detail is what separates apple from others and why people pay a premium.

Here is the box for the white 5S taken from apple's site:
I can't believe they didn't pick a color for the background on the phone, it looks just like there is too much white, my guess the black box will look just as ugly. I think this is the worst box design yet. They could have done a zoom into the new home button and take a pic from the side or something like that and put an actual background.

Ever since the first iPhone I opened box > took out contents > stored box in closed until I sold the phone.

non issue.

It absolutely is a good reason to why the analogy sucked lol... You are using your analogy to justify your complaints about how the box doesn't have the right colors or correct screenshot on the box.. And your analogy is trying to say that as many people who care what plate food comes on in a restaurant, also care what the box looks like. But that isn't true. Thus, the analogy doesn't work and again, not enough people care about the box except for a few serious hardcore (weird *cough*) fans.

This is 85%+ of consumers. Close to nobody cares.

I also said to you in my reply that my analogy is about presentation.

I agree that it's ugly; however normally when people make these type of comments it's combined with the author's knowledge of what Steve Jobs' opinion would have been (e.g. he's be spinning in his grave) and a prediction of Apple not too distant doom. Thank you for not resorting to the all too frequent hyperbole when mentioning your dislike of the box.
 
I see my box twice in the year I have the phone
When buy it and when I sell it

Does anyone care what it looks like?
 
Amazing the trivial things you conjure up to complain about. Cardboard. :rolleyes:

Ok obviously everyone would be disappointed in a paper plate a restaurant. But not everyone would care if the box came in an old windows 98 style box. Trust me on this one :). I appreciate the box discussion either way. First time for everything lol
