No thanks. I'd worry about losing it or breaking it. We'll just keep ours till close to them dying and upgrade to an older model. We would still have our 5's if Virgin Mobile did not have a years worth of service basically free if you buy the phone.

Another no on paying that much for a phone.

I don't use the phone more than I use my computer.

Same. I hardly use my phone.

I only use my phone when out. I text and talk on my phone via my computer or iPad. I hate big phones and a small phone is annoying to browse on.

Nope, won't be buying the phone. It's too expensive. I'll be using my current iPhone until it finally grinds to a halt. When I buy a new one it will be an older version where the price point has dropped.

I don't think people are going to be open to dropping this kind of money every 2 years even if they use their phone multiple times an hour.

$1000 / 24 = $42
$700 / 24 = $29

Thats a couple Starbucks Lattes per month. If someone is willing to pay $700 for a phone (current iPhone price), they won't balk at $1000

It was different when phone companies subsidized the phone with your monthly bill but now when they are not and charging to lease or expect you to buy it outright, I refuse to do that. We were big apple fans and I'll continue buying computers and maybe iPads (though the new kindles are decent for the price) but I'll keep older iPhones, especially when we have to pay full price.

You do realize that you ultimately paid more for the phone when it was "subsidized" through your monthly bill, correct? The companies had to delink the phone from the monthly service to compete with T-mobile.

I don't agree with your logic. For most people, $300 is a lot of money and, your monthly cost per month does not help the argument. The new iphone is almost $50 per month -- that's what I see.
