Why do people always HAVE to have the latest iPhone?

Why do people always HAVE to have the latest iPhone?

Mostly because they can. Those that can afford it, are allowed to do what they wish. Those that can't, well they tend to go into debt to get the latest one, or steal them from those that can afford them.

Some people like having the latest & greatest.

New features, new hardware. If you don't like it then stick with your old version, thats better then being a chronic complainer and crying about what others do.

I don't know. I have a Trac flip phone. But I also have an Ipod touch, with limited phone service. I can live with out phone service on my Ipod, but I'm addicted to my collection of apps. Most of my apps are for internet radio and podcasts.

So I think that people get addicted to having iPhone apps, and need the latest iPhone, with more memory so that they can have more apps.

Because iPhones are great phones!

They don't. There's a stereotype to that effect but I don't think it's accurate. The iPhone 5 came out about 2 years ago and I can still see people with older 4 and 4S models. Many of the phones you're looking at that may be 5S could easily be older iPhone 5 models - in cases it's hard to tell one from another. This means that many new phones are actually from 2012 and are about to become 2 generations old.

  • Why should you always stay up to the date with the latest gadgets? I have a iphone 5 and want my parents to get me a 5s. I told my parents the 5s is faster, better battery, camera and ID scanner (I want that so bad: D) but my parents won't do it! So how can I convince them that you should ALWAYS stay up to date with the latest gadgets?
  • Why people like iPhones? I can't never get people who like iphones to give a good reason, why? Some say it easy, but a lot have no clue on how to use their own phones. Can someone explain something useful that great about iphone? Everything they think is special other phones have been doing for years.
  • Why do people want to get the latest technology? I still have an iPhone 4S, it's working fine except the home button is messed up but I can live with it. Because the phone can still be used to call and do what phones do. Why do people feel the need to buy the latest Phone when they don't need it?
  • Why do people always want the new thing? So the new iPhones are coming out soon and I'm sure they will sell millions upon millions even though basically its the same as a normal iPhone 5 just with a different home button, different colours and its default is ios7 which will be on the iPhone 5 too. Why bother paying more for something similar. It works though for apple. A new iPhone seems to be released every 6 months now but people still get it. Seems pointless but yeah, just thought I'd ask
