iPhones are $600. No — they’re $400. They’re on Edge, no — they’re on G3. They’re destined for two years’ service but we’ll make the carrier so pathetic you’ll have to buy one every year. Enough.

Thrice bitten by Apple, I’m grateful Jobs has given the rest of the industry a kick in the butt, it’s time to hook up with iPhone’s offspring. The games Apple plays! The horror!
