[QUOTE="sydras, post: 319624, member: 4933"] This is typical of Apple's stubborness and attempts to control what the user should do with their products. Apple has always tried to restrict the user in all ways possible eg: proprietary USB connectors for IPod, ITunes etc. yet consumers put up with these shenanigans cuz they wanna own an Apple product. In this age of DIY and information, I don't want to encourage such a company by buying their products. I too believe that their replacement program won't work here where people are quite conservative with their spending. As for Apple not changing their pricing I believe that even the common man deserves high end features and it's unfair that they should remain inaccessible to him cuz of price and I'm sure many who own older high end phones will feel the same(eg P990i). Also, do you wanna pay a bomb for yesterday's tech a year later? If we go by this logic, it will take forever for mass technology adoption eg: if broadband prices don't fall, we will never see 2Mbps unlimited :P . Technology is for everyone...just not at the same time. If some rich dude has money to spend on a fancy looking phone today, the least he can do for society is to keep spending his money year after year getting new models and let the money be used for more R&D and new tech for the masses :bleh: .
