No, I mean sold. Renting is when you no longer own a product once you stop paying for it.
I rent Netflix's service. I purchase my iPhone. Once I've paid for my iPhone, Apple won't take it back.

It is. It's simply less valuable to someone who wants root, an unlocked boot loader, and the ability to install any software.
Would you say you purchase the new Keurig machines or would you say you rent them?
- venomsnake 12y agoThe fact that I cannot use my iDevice at all before connecting with apple servers (on an iPhone, just because I did not had sim during first boot, I was not able to use it even as an iPod) shows who controls what the device can do. It is not you - the owner who payed for it. > Once I've paid for my iPhone, Apple won't take it back. But they can still wipe it remotely ... Oh you obviously own some amount of atoms and molecules. You just don't own and control what makes your device useful or device.
