Do these genius short sellers know there is a new I phone coming out soon?
It does have a cool interface. to bad the battery, charger, and phone arnt included when you buy it.
Have you seen the chart of what percent of different nations’ citizen’s annual salary it takes to buy their new phone? For other countries outside the US, it goes all the way up to 70%+ annual wages for a phone.
 Yeah, dumb people in third world countries think its their life goals to own an Apple. Recently, that has changed a lot around where I live but it still persists. People want to be seen owning one. Most are techno-handicapped. That's one thing common.
