The Iphone hype is a marketing SCAM!

[JayLenochiniMac]

Hey, some people update to the latest macbook every time it comes out. Does this mean the macbook hype is a marketing scam? At least the iPhone is cheaper.

Some things I don't understand. Why do so many people feel the need to buy the new Iphone every year or every two years.

I treat my Iphone 3G as a longterm device I'll be using for the next four years.

How does it make sense to get the new one every time a new one comes out??? For what????

Did you keep your previous phone for 4 years?

Technology advances BIG TIME in 4 years. Some people like to maintain a competitive edge by utilizing the latest technologies that benefit their business. Other people like to simplify their personal daily processes and chores.

Were you doing all the things that you can do on your phone today with your phone from 4 years ago? My phone from 4 years ago certainly wasn't.

See you next decade.
