Sorry Dawid, but what is the big deal? I have used Apple products since 2006,
and there has been a lot of new stuff since then. My iPhone is the first
smartphone I have had that actually works, as opposed to the piece of junk from
HTC I had before. Apple products are good and that's why I buy them.
Cheers,
Nathan
