It is still exactly the same iPhone tech-wise, just with a custom "case". I wouldn't go as far to call it "brain disease" though: in a sense, it is OK for someone well off to spend on expensive products (made by less rich), so things would equalize at least a bit. Just like we in IT might happily pay 3% of our salary on slightly better shoes, and someone else would claim we have a "brain disease" because you can get perfectly good shoes for 5x less money. | |||||||||||||||||

I guess billionaires don't charge wirelessly. They just grab their backup custom iphone when the first one dies. | |||||||||||||||||
