#3Lots of people would be willing to do lots of things for lots of money until you actually give them the opportunity to do so. It's easy to spend hypothetical money.

#4>Among iPhone owners, a striking 91% of respondents indicate that they would prefer Apple to release the iPhone every other year rather than every year. Among respondents not owning the iPhone, this fraction is even larger, at 94%.
I wonder why the 94% care so much about a phone that they do not even intend to own.
I can't help but think that this study simply shows that more people should mind their own damn business.

Many are conscious about not having the newest stuff and would prefer the pressure not exist.

$28 doesn’t seem like a crazy sum of money though. Passes the sniff test IMO.

Would that really help? There's a virtually unlimited supply of "stuff" one could desire & buy. There might not be a new iPhone this year, but would you look at that shiny new watch/console/TV/etc.
Either you care about owning status symbols or you don't, I don't think taking one of them off the market would make a difference.
