No, I am not going to get the new iPhone…

By Athar Khan

… yet.

Just about anyone who knows me and my unhealthy consumerism has already asked so here goes: I am not buying the new iPhone and here’s why:
1) I’ve been disappointed by the price reduction once and I am not going to spend money on a toy that will be obsolete by thanksgiving
2) My current one works perfectly fine so there is no need to replace it
3) Given that I am (supposed to be) studying for the bar, its a good thing that its EDGE-based rather than 3G! The faster it works, the more time I will spend on it and
4) I don’t really use GPS (although I can definitely see how applications could be richer with location information).

It’s strange but I just don’t feel the urge/need to get it. I am pretty happy with the current one. But if you (especially you, Apa!) want to buy me one as a graduation present… :-)
