I remember when the Iphone first came out, it was $600, and I saw an article saying that some people had gotten one and taken it apart and discovered that it cost less than $100 to create an Iphone. Meaning that Apple was ripping people off by a couple hundred dollars. I just don't trust any business that does that sort of thing to its customers. Well, I try not to trust any of those companies.
Anyways, concerning people who have Iphones liking them - there's a nice thing in psychology which says that people can make themselves like something that they have simply because they have that thing. If a person pays $600 for an Iphone, he's going to like the machine, because if he doesn't, then he just wasted $600. So, even if a person has a lot of trouble with a machine, and doesn't use it often, and thinks he got ripped off, he'll probably keep that to himself, tucked deep inside his psyche, because if he was honest about it, he'd cry himself to sleep for a month.
