Well I think my biggest point was that the iPhone is too expensive. All Apple products are. And the cell phone plan is too expensive. Things should be a bit more affordable instead of being driven by greed.

What's new in the iPhone 5

Wait I know that.

It is 30 to 8 pin connector that costs 29£ 

Hey Wizard, I also have a Tracfone, serves every purpose in a cell phone that I need, to make and receive phone calls.  I would rather have and like having satellite TV than a smartphone.  We are all different with different needs to satisfy. 

So Island Dog understood your point perfectly.  It was just a bad point. 

I believe Aston Martins should be priced at about $15,000 so I could afford one.  Those evil greedy assholes and their $240,000 price tag.  Their greed is keeping me from what I wannnnttttttt!!!!!!   

There is no iPhone plan, the cell phone plans for iPhones are the same plans for any smartphone. Now if you are saying smartphone plans are too expensive, well that is just a choice each person has to make for themselves, but don't put that on the iPhone alone.

Well.. it's shiny, it will sell.

The interface is outdated beyond believe.

Prices are driven by market demand.  If demand supports the price, it's not greed, it's sanity.  It's not the market's fault that its results are at variance with your valuation of things.

If that's true explain to me why Apple products cost more than other products. Take a Macbook for example. Same CPU as a Windows based PC. Same RAM. Most of the same motherboard parts. Yet a Macbook starts in price at over a grand and a Windows based notebook can be had for less than 500 dollars.

Kona...it's still 'market demand'.

If a price is actually 'too much' it will not sell.

The fact it DOES sell demonstrates it is NOT 'too much'.

Apple only has a monopoly on iPhones.  It [fortunately] does NOT have a monopoly on SAMRT phones.

If they did the iPhone5 would be well over a grand, I am sure....

I'd rather they were closer to 5 ....so I could buy a few of them....

Value is always in the eye, and mind, of the customer.  There is a market for virtually everything.  A company trying to sell a product has to decide what market they are going to target and price their merchandise according to what they believe that target market is willing to pay.  Apple, through all the means at its disposal, has been able to persuade a sizable market that there is value in many of the products they sell equal to the prices they charge (not all - remember the Lisa).  The goal price for any product is just below the price that discourages purchase by the target market.  If sales volume meets or beats the goal (lots of people buy it), then they priced it well.

So.

I'm guessing this is one of those Friday night things... again... you know, it's five and twenty past beer o' clock and the Zubish is just starting to creep in a bit.

No....actually that's the samrt way to spell samrt ....

[yes, it was friday]....

Now you're just being greedy!
