(nice iclarified doesnt sync well with ipad 3rd :) ). ATT store. They have all of models in different price range. The fact is, it destroys the statement coming from Apple fanboys saying that Apple only sells ONE single model. Also for the series of the phone wise, its harder for Apple to create more than one series of the line due to lack of owning their own manufacture factories. And whether they can make them or not, it was their marketing decision to have a single series of sales in smartphone market and they are falling behind Samsung by half the size. For profit wise? I do not know since Apple does rip off people by charging customers way to much compare to how much they cost to make them(more than double). But the fact is more people are changing their moves to Samsung. And theres no doubt from it. Also with Windows 8 phones popping out everywhere, I do not know how long Apple could maintain their greediness. I have an iPhone 5(as a gift) and have no problem with it, for now. But if I see more people using either android or windows phones, then Im planning to move on with the trends. People usually go with the popularity ;)
