What happened to the iPhone 4? I feel like one of the few users left. Everyone has switched to some version of the newer, longer 5 series. But honestly that doesn't bother me at all. Those who want the latest thing should do as they please. However, what does make me upset is society rapidly forcing phone users to upgrade as soon as possible. I love my 4S, so when I dropped it in the sink and destroyed it I was devastated. The next day I went to the Verizon store to replace it and struggled for 20 minutes with 'Amanda' behind the counter who didn't agree. "What a waste of an upgrade!" "You should reconsider." "You are making a mistake."
A mistake? Because I love my phone and am perfectly happy with its size and performance? Good to know, Amanda.
As if the battle ended when I left, I struggled to find a suitable case when I left: something simple, sophisticated, and fairly inexpensive is all I ask for. After hopelessly searching through F21, Anthropologie, J. Crew, H&M, various electronic stores, and even two flea markets, I came to realize 4/4S cases fitting my description were extremely rare. It was a miracle I found the one I have now, just the other day, from a store going out of business. It was the last one they had, hidden way at the bottom of a pile of 5 and Galaxy cases.
No doubt a miracle. I don't even know what brand it is, since the box was missing, further proving my point at the lack of consideration.
I'll leave you with this, phone users everywhere: updates ≠ upgrades
