Apple’s iPhone is without a doubt one of the few products ever to be so far out of my reach that it actually diminishes my want for it. Like exotic cars and lakeside mansions, the iPhone seems so expensive to an on-again-off-again cheapskate like me that I can’t imagine myself ever being in the position to be like, “Oh? Yeah? 500 for the cell-phone? Yeah, sure I guess.” No. It will be something more like, “The iPhone came out five years ago and you’re selling it for $50 bucks? I’ll take it.” But there are a lot of really expensive things that I still like, such as trips to foreign places, mopeds, and widescreen televisions and I want those more than I want the iPhone. Maybe it’s more because I just don’t need the iPhone–I’ve got a phone, I’ve got an iPod, (and I can’t afford a data plan anyway), so these two devices already fit in my pockets, and I don’t see why they have to be one.
It’s still pretty.
