Neither Apple nor any other phone manufacturer put a gun to anyone's head to make them buy their phones, regardless of whether they were rich or not.
 
I don't know what you do or don't know - but your original comment suggested that you thought that early adopters of tech are idiots. Maybe I misunderstood, though.

EDIT: I'm operating on three hours sleep, so I'll bow out of this conversation for now and accept you're right and I'm wrong.

The forum rules say that we have to make at least another 1,329 posts on this subject before we are allowed to drop it.

And if no one but you and I is interested, then the required number of posts triples.

It seems obvious in retrospect but that first iPhone was... not even 33% of what even the 3G was, let alone the 4 or 4S where things really picked up, and it was *fucking expensive*. It's easy to say "oh yeah the iPhone was always going to be huge" but like, it was underpowered and expensive, and didn't seem that useful yet. But, it was designed for rich people, and once the lower-cost, better version came out later, it was something.

I am absolutely not saying this will fail; I'm saying they're using the same playbook, that's all.
iPhone wasn't interesting to me until it was hacked and you could customize it. But by then Android was nearly available so I never considered an iPhone. I hate walled gardens.
