Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Buy An iPhone 5…

The “techies” are going to hate me, but who cares?

  1. You can’t afford it! $649 without a plan? Come on! You still need to eat, don’t you? Your kids will be paying the thing off!
  2. It’s mostly sizzle and little steak. The phone’s “upgrades” aren’t all that significant… But the hype sure is!
  3. The frenzy may kill you! Unless you have a death wish, you really shouldn’t be irrational enough to enter a store filled with fruitbags who have spent hours in line to buy the latest “Must Have” device. God help you if they run out…
  4. Do you really need another device? According to Apple… yes! Seriously though, most people have more tech strapped to their person than Iron Man!
  5. There may actually be events of greater significance to concern yourself with this week. I have no idea what they are, but I’m sure they’re out there…
  6. The iPhone 6 will have been released by the time you get home from the store…

  1. You needed 6 reasons, I only need one…. It’s made by Apple.

  2. I wish there was a trade in program – if there was a better price incentive to “upgrade” I would be interested in the newer model. But I don’t stand in line for much, definitely not a phone.

  3. iPhone is over rated. but it’s an Apple, so of course you have to get it. I only need 1 reason to not get it. It’s Apple. Ok, make that 2, your number 6.

  4. Lolol. I really feel sorry for the employees who work in the stores that run out. The customers at least have a fighting chance to escape.

    I’ll stick to my brand thanks.

  5. ha ha ya the 1st and 6th does it…and in my case by the time i reach home the price of that damn thing will drop drastically

  6. Heck, I don’t even own a cell phone. I hate all this buzz about new phones; like you’ve said, there are more pressing issues to worry oneself than the purchase of an iphone.

  7. I’m not going to buy the new iPhone just on general principles. Being that I haven’t broken mine yet. And believe me I tried.
