“Everyone wants an iPhone.”

WRONG! I do not want, need or desire a iphone. Written like a true cult piece from the cult of Apple.

I just had to have one, because I didn’t want to stand out at the Whole Foods store.

I am going to wait until the new models come out decide if I want to upgrade. My 5c fits so well in my pocket, I really don't want to have to hang one off my belt.

But I do use it at work quite a bit.

Everyone wants an iPhone. Even those who use Android phones may not want to admit it, but in their heart of hearts, they wouldn’t bat an eye if they were offered an iPhone for free.

Everyone?

Everyone is a big word.

I don't want one. I purposefully chose a Droid. If offered an iPhone for free I would certainly take it, and have the thing for sale on eBay within 5 minutes.

$30 labor cost per iPhone.

You'd think Apple could build them in the USA and employ Americans.

How much does it cost to manufacture an iPhone?

Bandwagon and Inevitable Victory.
Bandwagon-and-inevitable-victory appeals attempt to persuade the target audience to take a course of action "everyone else is taking." "Join the crowd." This technique reinforces people's natural desire to be on the winning side. This technique is used to convince the audience that a program is an expression of an irresistible mass movement and that it is in their interest to join. "Inevitable victory" invites those not already on the bandwagon to join those already on the road to certain victory. Those already, or partially, on the bandwagon are reassured that staying aboard is the best course of action.

Last year, I walked in ATT to upgrade my old iPhone 3gs to an Android phone. I got the iPhone 4s because it was cheaper. When this phone croaks my plan will once again be to go Android... assuming the iPhone isn’t cheaper.
