green butter 09/14/18 1:32:49 PM #21:	meanwhile most people wont ever even see the price of the XS because they'll finance it through their carrier, so they'll take on like $1100 worth of debt but not realize it because it's being broken up into payments. just another big business using tactics to trick people into making financial decisions that may be very poor for them --- https://imgur.com/LhwwG <cite>green butter posted [p:908747397] in The new iP...
