That was fun while it lasts.

 

[MBAir2010]

once again, Apple fails to properly forecast demand? They made too many iPhone Airs, not enough Phone Bikinis!

 thinks that
you get a iPhone Airs from a liquid glass, that the neighbors must get a iPhone Airs from a liquid glass.
you get a bikini for iPhones, he must get a bikini for iPhones,.
you get a iPhone pro ultra, he cannot afford.
Great success!

Apple took a lesson from Hermes on scarcity

Hmm, it can be bought in China for $2.50 (18 RMB). I’d thought about getting one, but I’m worried people might think I was daft enough to pay $230 for it.

Who buys these things

People that don't live their life like mechanical robots.

Comes down to disposable income. The word disposable the key.

Proof that people will buy anything.

I tried Apple's iPhone Pocket. It's as awkward as it is beautiful

Apple's viral accessory feels like an unwanted appendage whose utility isn't totally clear. I still want to carry it.

It's very easy to sell out of something if you hardly make any.

Anyone know how many of these were manufactured? Maybe they only made two.

Is it compatible with the Apple microfiber cloth?

 

[k1121j]

I hope this is because they only made 10 of each color, otherwise I have some concerns about people’s judgement.

 

[j569mxr]

did they make like 10 of each color? how are there that many people buying these things?
or maybe it was all apple blogs and youtubers so they can do their product pieces on them, and no actual person bought them...

"Why is this so expensive?"

It sells out.

That's why!

Apple knew people would pay that for this, so they priced it accordingly. I do question why someone would pay that much money for this, but that's their decision. I'll keep my money for something *I* want to pay too much money for.

The people that are buying this want to make this as an investment for fools to pay even much more later on. Say five or 10 years from now.

 

[TechRunner]

That shocks me, so I'm definitely not their target market.

Who buys these things

You already know the answer to that...

..but here I am with thousands of dollars of Apple stuff, when I could do everything I do with devices costing half that... so, I don't know if I'm any better.. 😛

It sold out on launch day

This article is content quota

Not globally! Check your facts. Were still available in SK, France, etc 2-3 days after launch day.

 

[TruthAboveAllElse]

Not surprising to anyone who follows fashion.

 

[bmark]

This is nothing more than marketing hype! Limited edition just means they only made so many and everyone who bought them thinks they are the Jordan's of Apple.

Internet commentary has an insatiable appetite for being wrong.

Just when I was having a little faith in humanity this happens...

 

[richinaus]

Yet again it appears many individuals on this site don't know more than Apple - I would never have guessed.

have faith in the consumer - this is all they have to live for.
