Captain_Bob Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Sheeple queuing up for hours and coughing up large sums just to hold and obsess with the latest fashion-gadget which then alienates them from the world.

Tayaout Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 This is one of the most overpriced gadget for the least tech savvy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiwPix Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Love the device(s), but could never justify waiting in line more than 5 minutes for it. Wait until the hype is over and get it a week later. Here in Ubon the iPhones were available at the phone companies and no line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quandow Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Every year, they post the same story, just changing what apple phone it is (iPhone "X"), perhaps updating the images but that's no guarantee. The same divided people come out and make the same derogatory responses (android vs iphone). We SOOOOOO need to get some hobbies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilotman Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Never ceases to amaze me how gullible a lot of people are. It's just a smart phone, just one of hundreds of equally functional devices by other manufacturers. Some people, maybe a whole lot of people, clearly have more money than sense.

theoldgit Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 "The first customer turned up at midnight and waited patiently to pick up the iPhone 11 Pro Max which he had booked online'' - so he ordered and paid for it online and then queued for hours to collect it, I'm sure that there was a very good reason why he couldn't wait a couple of days for it to be deliverd to his home for free.

But do they have more money than sense Pilotman or is it addiction. The money for addiction comes from many other cutbacks. My 12 yo Nokia does all I want . I wonder how many accidents were caused when folk were looking at their new gadgets on the way home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My iPhone 6 is more than adequate for me, as is my 4 year old iPad Mini. I don't feel the need to upgrade for the sake of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 #1. I simply don't do lines anymore. Not to sound too mortalistic, but I may only have between 250 and 350 more months to live, and that does not allow time for lines. Also, I am not a lemming. So, being the first guy to own an overpriced product is just not my thing. 2. The iPhone is an over rated product. Been using one for years now. Compatible with my other Mac products. But sick of the lack of innovation and the horrible quality camera. Moving on to the Samsung galaxy soon. Way better phone. Faster, better graphics and the camera blows away apple. Time to move on.

Huawei is even better but Trump is giving them a headache right now. I own a Mate 20 X and bought the P20 pro to my wife. They will remain on Android but not sure about P30 pro that has even better camera. The price is hard to beat and the quality is impressive.

Totally agree. I got a Y9 last year for Bht 6.5k. Cannot fault it at all. Does everything it should, and looks good to me. I don't let anyone else see it!
