iphone open letter
My first world problems don't seem so bad now that Apple is giving rebates to all the people who bitched and moaned about the iPhone price dropping after they bought theirs. I thought it was universally understood that "early adopter" was synonymous with "i paid $200 more than I should have". Did anyone at all think they were getting a bargain when they stood in line to buy a $600 phone?
I don't blame people for buying iPhones. They're cool. I want one, and I've been trying to calculate how long I have to hang on to my relatively new phone before i can justify upgrading again. But it's hard not to blame these people for taking their buyer's remorse out on Apple. If you don't balk at a $600 price tag on a phone, that kinda implies that you're ok with spending a couple hundred dollars more than you should.
Anyway, boo fucking hoo people.
