    Who cares whether some people want a cheap phone, some prefer other brands, some think it's disgusting that others will spend £1k on a phone, some just don't like Apple?


    This is for people who are interested in the iPhone range.

    e.g. 1GB & 8GB ??

    I was being sarcastic ;)

    We're trying to educate the people who would otherwise just queue up and spend another grand on an iPhone, some people can't be helped though ;)

    You must have some sympathy for those who fall in love and then are completely and unscrupulously manipulated by the target of their affection.

    Surely people should have the right to spend the money on whatever THEY choose? Otherwised its no different to suggest folks should stop buying Miele/Bosch home appliances and instead buy cheap Beko stuff instead, after all a washing machine is a washing machine right? Or a bit like trying to say to those lucky enough able to afford a £50k Mercedes, that they should instead buy a Ford Fiesta, after all a car is a car?

    A Ford Fiesta? How can you waste money like that? You should know a Dacia Sandero is all you need and it does the same job!

  • unlucky enough able to afford a £50k Mercedes,


    Fixed that.
  • No doubt these are gorgeous, to die for etc. etc. However after many years being a loyal Apple fan (phones, tablets, macs, and yes even the watch), I have now decided to move completely away back to PC and android for two main reasons - 1. For users working predominantly in Word, the Mac isn’t suitable (despite reassurances when buying that all functions will be present they are not - you have to use Bootcamp, but that comes with its own issues). 2. The way they continuously milk their loyal customers for their hard earned £££’s, whilst maintaining that lovely ‘well done you’ve bought another apple product’ smile (seriously, if you compare like for like from other manufacturers they are much better value). Apple tax is real!
