exactly.
in 2003 people wanted "phones."
in 2017 people want computers in their pockets, without thinking of them as "computers"
my question:
how long until we abandon the mental modal and service contract model of these being "phones?"
[edit: formatting]
- lprubin 9y agoI tried to buy a google pixel from the verizon store to do some VR programming and they wouldn't sell it to me without a contract. I'm standing there trying to hand them $800 for a product they have on the shelves and they refused. It was a very strange moment.
- Eridrus 9y agoThey make less money on the phone sale than a contract sale, and the pixels have been supply constrained, so I don't know why you're so surprised.
