What is the tax price on an iPhone 5C based on?

I'm looking to buy a 32GB iPhone 5c at Best Buy. I've heard that the tax price can be based on either the sales price with an upgrade ($200) OR the unlocked price (which is $819 at bestbuy). So, which one is it based on? I live in Southern California, and tax is 8%, if that helps.

Added (1). I do have an upgrade with verizon, by the way. So the price would be $200 for me, I just want to know the tax price (~$16 vs ~$65).

Why won't my apple iphone 4 work?

So long story short… I made a bad decision and jailbroke my iphone 4. Then I realized I did not want it jailbroke anymore. But iTunes is not working at all on my computer. So I finally got desperate enough and decided to TRY to reset my iphone from Find my iphone. Well I was not thinking. It would not reset by going to settings but when I try to reset it, the bar goes most of the way and tries to turn off, but it never turns off. So my problem is every time I try to turn it on, my iphone turns off after a couple minutes and tries to reset every time. I will not have access to iTunes for a while. Is there anything I can do?

Lawyers for elementary school. Too much?

So my daughter(s) start school next month. I'm overprotective, I admit, but with all the horror stories I hear about teachers being irresponsible or abusive, neglectful or negligent, plus the bully problem in the world today, I've been reduced to nail biting nervousness regarding sending my daughter.

Today, I began searching for a lawyer to put on retainer to represent me and my children. Lawyering up in advance, that's corporate warfare, I know… But it seemed like a good idea at the time… Chalk it up to the fact that i'm a litigious business owner with a history of such. I intend to force the school to send all correspondence to my attorney, who would look it over, and then forward to me or present the case he thinks he has to me. The retainer for such services is around $2,500 a month, from what I've been told so far. A drop in the hat for my child's safety.

I've also considered fitting my daughter with a button cam, so I can see and hear everything that goes on. Add to that the fact that my 4 year old daughter already has an iPhone 5 with GPS tracking capabilities, and she's already able to use it, call me and play games on it:-) . I've used tech to my full advantage to secure my daughter as much as possible, thus far.

My question now is, am I freaking out? Is a 5 year old with legal representation a bit too much? Or is it legitimate protecting in 2014, when everything is a legal battle and it seems like accountability and responsibility are at an all time low?

Why are electronics so short lived?

You buy a cell phone and by the time 18 months are up you're ready to upgrade. You buy a computer and within 2-3 years it's completely outdated. You buy a tv and a few years later it's a dinosaur. The main reason I like to buy Apple products is because they seem to have a longer "shelf life" just because one manufacturer alone can only churn stuff out so often. The iPhone 4s came out in 2011 and it's still being made and sold which (sadly) is a pretty outstanding achievement in today's tech world.
