People that own Apple products are the worst because they never shut up about how much "better(they aren't)" then every other product on the market. People will take out a second mortgage just to be "cool" or hip with their new overpriced Apple product. It's a joke and its fraud.

I think we heard you the first 9 million times give it a rest no one cares what you think honestly

Up grade fee is across the board no mater where you buy your verizon phone. It gets billed automatically to your monthly bill, not something you pay at the point of sale

And they will win. Good for them. Hopefully its a 10+ billion dollar settlement and the iPhone 5 will be released with real upgrades instead of junk upgrades copying off the innovations of other companies.

Maybe in payments to Samsung, but the iPhone redesign and the impending market share collapse of being excluded from LTE will cripple Apple back to where it belongs; Enron.

Also this patent has to do with real innovation rather than patenting square corners with round edges.

Only iPhone users have to tell all their friends that they are buying the iPhone. When my mom bought the RAZR MAXX, I didn't hear about it for 3 months when whipped it out to make a simple phone call.

Apple is truly a cult.
