The iPhone and Me

    I was wondering if its healthy and possible for me, A senior in high school to work during the summer for an iPhone. I'm probably expecting at least minimum wage salary of $180+ a week.

    Is this worth it?

    I personally think the iPhone is cool but not worth it. Just like with all other apple products, theyre only going to make a better version in two months then the original will be outdated in three.

    But check out this site on "why you should wait to get the iphone"

    or for the lazy peeps who just want a quick summary,

    (p.s. cant post live links yet so just copy and paste.)


    why not use the money you save up for a car or something?

    Pretty much anything Apple makes is insanely overpriced... Yeah they have some cool products, but come'on price them reasonably... Why the hell would I want to spend $600 on a phone... its got some cool features, but $600!!! Thats too much to ask for... I might pick one up on ebay after prices have dropped and someone has unlocked it for Tmobile.

    I would just purchase some cheap phone for now. Within a few years, the iPhone will be better enhanced and probably cheaper with more storage capabilities anyway. Look at how iPod started.

    I am not sure of thats the right attictude. There are always going to be newer versions. If everyone waited, no one will ever buy in the hope of further new version. :)

    I see. It seems like its more reasonable to wait and buy it later based on the responses I've read?
