"Normal people have a smart phone with history. Normal people show what is on their phone and the details go back years in an average and normal way."

no they don't. Most people do not transfer absolutely everything to their phone every time. Even Photos and videos do not auto transfer and all the apps only a handful you tell to do a "cloud sync" will transfer any data.

Also most people use their phone replacement as an opportunity to clean house.

If you think there is years of data on there then you have zero clue as to how the majority of smartphone users deal with getting new phones. NONE of them do a full backup and then a full restore on the new one. That is far to difficult for the masses.

Let's see, Intel and AMD's offerings have been complete shit until very recently. your 10 year old i7 is absolutely fast enough and in some instances as fast as a i7 computer from 6 months ago.

Only recently did both chip makers get off their asses and offer any kind of a performance boost that will make a difference and get people interested in buying a PC.

Watch sales to double in the next 12 months.

Mine last 20 hours on a single charge, Bose 35 and have been out for over a year now, only time I have a problem is international flights over 20 hours.
My daughters "skull Candy over the ear BT headphones go at least 12 hours on a single charge, those were a lot cheaper.

Not made to last..... Wife's iphone 4 STILL WORKS just fine 7 years later.

My HTC ONE M8.... replaced TWICE and then finally died because the battery swelled and cracked the display.
My One X did not last more than 12 months before it started having problems. I have been through 6 android phones in those same 7 years.

I think you dont have a clue at all about iphones and longevity.

I haven't used wired headphones for 3 years now. Bluetooth is so much more convenient and even in my car it's automatically connected.

Honestly, give up the cheap wired things and try the wireless stuff. It's extremely convenient. Both android and iphone are fantastic without wires. there really is no real reason to have to search for a cable to plug in or even dig the phone out of my pocket anymore.

Apple solved this. A stolen iphone is 100% useless on the black market as they cant register it or get into it without the owner releasing it from icloud. And so many people are getting burned on that.

Pawn shops refuse to take an iphone if you can not prove it has been full released and reset. Even the craigslisters are asking for proof that it's released before purchase..... well the ones that have a brain are.
