Nope, it's not just you. Few with common sense would pay about the average for something that is already near obsolete, in the context of how consumers deem an item obsolete. still a perfectly good phone at the end of the day, but the hardware, and i don't mean handset, i mean hardware, such as screen, or camera etc, is a joke. But heey hey ey hey heyyyy, you get a LIGHTENING connetor, oh wait, then you have to pay $30 for an adapter so you can contiinue to use all the crap you bought to go alongside your old iphone. But heey, it's rectangular, AND it has round edges, these guys are innovators..
I do not know your missus mate, but with all due respect, you have to be fucking retarded to buy the iphone 5, i can just about understand people buying the iphone 4, but given the recent law suit bullshit, you have to be a grade A fucking moron to consider it a phone you want and a company you want to support. Oh wait, that's because you paid apple money to license music from them via itunes so you no longer have a choice over what phone you buy unless you want to say byebye to the music you don't actually own. Bunch of fucking muppets.
