Apple's overpriced, cut-rate PLASTIC iPhone not doing so well

Price has already been cut in half for it.

Everybody wants the more expensive iPhone 5S with what that has to
offer. Those they can't build fast enough to meet demand.

For now I am sticking with my iP4S.

except that the 5c is the 2nd or 3rd best selling phone in usa in the
past 2 weeks, depending on carrier.

so not 'everybody' wants the 5s. a lot of people want the 5c too.

nobody is forcing anyone to buy iphones or any other smartphone. they
are doing so out of their own free will.

there are other choices than just a 5s or 5c, including the galaxy s4,
htc one, moto x and lumia 1020, or even flip phones.

What can I say? I'm decades old. I don't throw out good words
just because they're old.

Alike fantastic if too new or old.

Nor yet the last to lay the old aside."
