Good answer, thanks.
I think looking at the technical side of things as an attraction for 'normal' consumers, is the wrong way of going about it, especially with consumer electronics. It's pretty evident by now that people want the latest (and perceived best) device, even if the technical differences aren't that massive. It's enough to be able to say to friends, "I got the iPhone 5".
I'd also assume the iPhone 4 being perpetually sold out is either a determined move by Apple to force sales on upper models, or is just a result of having production lines focused on the upper models. I don't doubt they'd sell either though.
Admittedly I used to be that person, as a teenager. Once I got full time employment, I definitely starting buying more things I would pirate, both for the reason that it was a pain getting updates to apps (Apple does well in this regard), and also because there was no financial reason for me not to if I had the money.
Thanks for your time, and thanks for Cydia :)
