Should the government pay for everyone to have iPhones?

I have one and they are the future. So everyone needs to have one and I hate when people don't. So why doesn't the government give everyone an iPhone and just pay for the service? I mean they pay for people's food and their houses, why can't they buy everyone a phone?

That wouldn't be the stupidest waste of money under the Obama administration

I'd ask Ronald Reagan, since he started the program. Hold on, I have to go grab my medium.

Not if they're going to be running iOS 8, yuck.

The government actually does offer a free cell phone for low income folks. But your logic is… It's not even close. You can't assume that iPhones "are the future". All of product history would prove you wrong. Also, no one would say that an iPhone is a "need". Maybe it's a "need" to own a cell phone. But there's no reason for it to be an iPhone. Lastly, the government doesn't pay for people's food or housing. Taxes pay for these things. I mean this question is just unanswerable. You need to ask it in a different way.

  • Why does everyone have Iphones? Everywhere I go, school, store, beach, even a family members house, I see people have Iphones! I feel like such an outsider with my Pantech. My friends say the Iphones are the " cool thing " right now and I'm just wondering why it seems like EVERYONE has one? What makes them so special?
  • Verizon upgrade fee? Can I pay at the store or do I have to pay it the next bill? I plan on upgrading my phone and renewing my contract next month in January. I plan on getting the iPhone 5s. I'm on this family plan with one line. Is there's an activation fee that I have to pay? Can I pay the upgrade fee at the store while purchasing the new phone? Or do I have to pay it on the next bill?
