    Not to keep... to sell. I mean freakin seriously?!? People who are into iPhones are WAAAAY TOO INTO iPHONES! I just watched an auction for a 64GB iPhone 6 (which can be bought for $749 off contract) end at $2,175!!! What the hell is wrong with people?!

    The 'i' in 'iPhone' stands for idiot.

    iPhone 4s has only been out for 3 years.

    Don't forget a new feature is that it can be charged in the microwave. :)

    Actually... what's even more perfect is that the very picture you posted also happens to be his avatar. lol. Unless he did that after the fact....

    bobdude: Well yea.... i'd expect a dual core iPhone 6 to keep up with a quad-core Android phone when A) iOS 8 and the iPhone 6/6 Plus are 64-bit, B) iOS is optimized to work on a select VERY few phones at any given time, and C) When iOS doesn't really do all that much in the meantime. I mean what.... you've got multitasking that's kinda half-assed together (and copied from Android), a notification pane for all your go-to information (which was done WORSE than Android's), and surprisingly, after years of stupidity... WIDGETS (which.... i'm not even going to go there.)

    But really... am i the only one who finds it ridiculous that after YEARS of lawsuit after lawsuit.... filing suit against Samsung for making a phone that looked (not even remotely) like the iPhone.... ever since, iOS has been looking more and more damn near identical to Android, but in a "HEY, here's our OS, which is totally NOT *wink wink* Android" kinda way?

    ... think there's a HUGE difference between "cheap knock-off", and something that's available for less. That difference being Apple taking bits from Android and selling them as if they created them. You're just paying more so they can advertise to hell and back.

    To an extent, he's correct..... When I was searching for an unlocked, used iPhone4 for my wife, I saw a lot of auctions end well over the price of a NEW phone. There was an original iPhone that ended around $2k. Several iPhone3GS auctions ended around the $1k mark. For some reason, some people are just dumb enough to spend an insane amount of money on these phones regardless of their condition.

    Yea, because iOS was out a whopping year and a few months before Android. But which had made leaps and bounds more improvements since its original inception? Which one took 3 generations of hardware before something like WALLPAPER was usable? Which developer filed (and still tends to file) lawsuit after lawsuit because the other looks "too similar", and then goes on to introduce features it never had before, but the other has had for years? Like the Panorama camera... the 100% direct ripoff of the original Samsung Galaxy S.

    Just because something is first, doesn't make the rest a knockoff of it. If everyone followed Apple's lead, we'd probably still be on devices with 4" screens, only the factory keyboard (.... *nudge nudge*), black backgrounds.... And on and on.

    So you like over-priced, poorly engineered devices instead? Interesting.

    So, here's an interesting fact: from where I come from, they sell new iPhone 6s (not plus, just plain iPhone 6) basic model, for 920 EUR.
    What are the prices in your country?
