There is always a new android phone coming out, which is bigger and better than the last. Some people like this, some people don't.


There is always a new iPhone coming out, which is bigger and better than the last. Everyone seems to love this.


That's sufficiently not true as to be completely false.


Douglas Adams? Dude, welcome back from the grave.


The difference being, that a new iPhone comes out once a year, at around the same time. So you can buy a new iPhone now, realising that there is no point updating it for a year.


With mandatory two-year contracts, that makes for potential unhappiness.


Nope.

You can buy it outright in most of the world.

Lots of places have 12 month contracts (Optus in Australia).

And lots of companies are letting you get out early (ATT).

There seems to be lots of lies in this thread, something I don't expect to see on hacker news.
