I agree but thats how some peoples mind works. If you dont know anything about a product and someone tells you that one is better than the other you will belive them because you think they know it all.

I worked at game station back in 2003 and i sold people more xbox and game cubes than ps2s even though they came in for a ps2 because i explained to them the reason why i thought the xbox was better at playing dvds fps games and racing games and why the cube was better at kids games then the ps2 and its the same thing with anyother bit of technology.

Just shows you people will buy ANYTHING apple puts out. It's not about the product, it's about the idea, and that's why apple is selling their products when obviously better, cheaper, faster alternatives are on the market.

But the usual consumer does not buy a car every year.

Actually with cars, sometimes the newer models are a downgrade compared to the previous generation.

Lets be truthful here. Not ever smartphone owner makes the quantum leap from last years smartphone to this years phone. 100% people here PRESUME that people Apple users and general smartphone owners have have a endless stream of money.

Most people might still be in contract. Making them ineligible to upgrade till their contract matures or ends. Thus you are more likely to see people moving from smartphones dating 2-3 years old to the latest model.

I don't know many people who buy a smartphone outright as the massively high price and cost of running the phone is usually too much for most folk.
