I AM THE LIQUOR!

This is a rally good comment.

So... I got about half way through the article and couldn’t stomach it anymore. I am curious about one thing, though. How the fuck do they pay for everything? Having stuff made like that has got to be ridiculously expensive...

Gizmodo is literally a technology blog. They never claim to be journalists. You must be lost.

Yeah, I’m starting to gather that only the Verizon and possibly AT&T iPhones are unlocked automatically.

That’s true but are T-Mobile iPhones unlocked? I live in Wisconsin where T-Mobile doesn’t have much of a presence, unfortunately. I checked their coverage map and they only cover about 50% of the places I frequent. Verizon and AT&T have full LTE coverage.

Redacted.

I know the iPhones from Verizon are always unlocked. I would have thought it would be the same from T-Mobile.

Not that it makes THAT much of a difference but you get AppleCare+ for the 6s from Apple which is $129. So Apple would normally charge $650 for the 16GB iPhone 6s plus the $129 for Apple Care comes out to $779.

That’s all well and good but I’m pretty sure the one thing does best is marketing. I feel like they know what they’re doing.

Right? I feel nauseous thinking about it. I sell Verizon part time. It’s gross.

I’m not sure about AT&T but with Verizon there is no fee if you do the device payment plan.

Wait for what? It's a choice between new hardware or a bigger screen. Since when was choice a bad thing? You guys are making it seem like consumers will see two choices, freak out, fall into a fetal position, not buy something.

That doesn’t make any sense. So you have 2 choices when you’re looking to spend $400. Does that keep you from spending that $400?

Shhhh... I’m giving them half as much money per month. I think that counts.

Or cut the boot off of the cable. Or don’t use port 1 if you’re not using every port (which is likely). That’s a pretty expensive switch to start tooling on...

Absolute gold.

I only buy non-GMO, organic anti-venom.

Ah... Good Ol’ Noodle-Arm.

Just tell your landlord that you spent the money on Star Wars toys. I’m sure they’ll understand. That’s what I’m banking on...
