PeteMorris Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I know I'm going to get slated for this. But if iPhones are so good, as I'm constantly being told. Then I just wonder why so many people sell there's in the 'classified' section of this forum. Every day, I see lots of them for sale. I could understand it, if it people upgrading from iPhone 3 to 4. But I see lots of iPhone 4's on there too. Right now I'm going to hide under the desk!....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magilla Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Two reasons I can think of off hand. Every Apple product I've ever bought has been superceded within weeks. Those that follow the cult like the latest stuff. The promise of Apple products entice the stupid into giving away details they shouldn't, as part of scams.

WeX Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Because they are worth so much due to demand therefore people take them on contract, sell the handset and buy a cheap android phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteMorris Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Surely taking on an iPhone contract is flippin' expensive (I know I once enquired)....and then you're presumably stuck in a contract for 2 years for something you dont have?.....Seems daft to me!

Magilla, I'm interested in what products you have bought that have been superseded within weeks of you buying them. Apple follow pretty strict product release schedules meaning you can pretty much predict when a new one is on the horizon by a good few moths.

Quick money. Its like a loan. You get the money now and you pay if off over 2 years. If you ever pay it off that is. Its the same for all high end, desirable products.

Mecky Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 What happens if you have a contract and lose your phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Ralge Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 What happens if you have a contract and lose your phone? You hope the insurance sorts it for you ... if you took out the insurance, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
