They don't do it out of malice, they do it because if they didn't they would be negligent of their duties. But somehow it seems that some posters believe they are entitled to a $199 iPhone, if that is the case you can probably get one of the earlier models on eBay. Now, if you can afford a $499 or $599 iPhone, go ahead and buy it, if not, don't take up a space in the queue.
This!
