What in the gently caress am I looking at.

I feel so bad for those dancers.

big

if you're paying $200 for that little storage upgrade

Also Sia has got to be the laziest pop star in history. She just stands there wailing while her backup dancers do all the actual entertaining.

They still have two year contracts and are not getting rid of them. They just tell sales people to sell the leases and spiff those instead. Stay firm, and save your cash for Pete's sake.

They're going to get your money unless you wanna wait 6-12 months and buy used.

For God's sake dont. You can buy any phone for $199 with a two year term which you have to pay anyway for service. You will save $569 dollars and own your phone after.

This is one of the latest and biggest scams on the face of the planet financially.

I've never seen those kind of prices for an iPhone on contract here in the UK.

This post is the embodiment of how out of touch you are. Apple has transcended the tech world and this is them tapping straight into pop culture and millennials, their real core audience.

Rick: Feb 23, 2004; When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Where? Point me to the carrier I can use right now (don't say Sprint, USE is the key word) where I can get this phone on contract for $199.

I was able to get AT&T to do it last year but the rep made it sound like I was kicking his dog.

do you carry around lossless music on your iPhone? lmao if so

Just to annoy people I recompress lossy music to 128kbit AAC on my phone then listen to it with my BT headphones. I appreciate good quality audio but I can justify this by not being a massive sperg about it.

How exactly? It would require my line go back in for a contract if it was possible, which would require me to dig out some old data plan (if it's even available in the system anymore), spend $20 more on every single line I have (9 of them) for a marginal amount of money. Not worth the time and irritation. If saving a few bucks is that important, likely you don't need a smartphone anyways.

I've seen her once have a very conventional live set, but it was a festival that required all the entrances be drapped off. She has horrendous stage fright, which explains the stoic stance and covered face.
