Extra fee for Iphone Users

“I will say that iPhones in general are good smartphones but not great. They are excellent entry level to mid range smartphones. But in the end it does not matter what I say because as long as their is an Apple logo on it, people will mindlessly buy it.”-Athanasios Zarkadas

I am an Iphone user and I do acknowledge some of the strengths of Iphone. However, facing the high expenditure brought by Iphone, should we step back and rethink the value of Iphone?

When consumers choose monthly plan, most of people will choose the most economical one, as long as the mobile company supporst the cell phone we already have.

For example, Wind Mobile provide $25 per month with everything unlimited. However, this economical monthly plan is not supportive for Iphone. Thus, Iphone user can’t benefit from the cheap plan provided by Wind mobile. Iphone users can choose Fido $25 monthly plan, but only get 150mins talk during day time and unlimited text within Canada.

Regardless of the high price of Iphone, if we only compare the high phone bill of Iphone, Iphone users can feel the pressure already. The one of the reasons why Iphone users can’t have cheap phone bill is that the network of Iphone is different from many mobile companies who provide cheaper monthly plan.

“We do not have the iPhone. Apple’s current iPhone is not compatible with the WIND network (AWS/1700 Megahertz/BandIV). When we hear an AWS iPhone is in the works, believe us, we’ll be knocking Apple’s door to get the scoop!” said a staff of Wind Mobile.

Wind Mobile as well as other cheaper mobile company such as Mobilicity, can provide services for HTC and Samsung users, but not Iphone users. They look forward to corporate with Iphone but because of the different networks, iphone users need to wait for a long time before they can reduce their phone bill.

Next time when we choose our new cell phones will you still be a Iphone user or you will support HTC or Samsung products where you can also get good smartphone but with cheaper price in all aspects.

What makes you choose to be a Iphone user? Their superior products and brilliant apps…

What makes you choose not to be a iphone user? The large amount of money and mid level services…
