iPhone kiosk

[Richard Miller]

Hi Rick,

https://www.apple.com/iphone-5s/camera/

I own it and use the 120 fps slo-mo feature regularly.

This is not a contract-free arrangement. It's a conventional purchase of 
an iPhone from Verizon with monthly payments.

There's no attempt to conceal the phone.

Why would Apple care what we do with the phone? We're not advertising 
any aspect of the business as an "Apple-driven product'.

No problem with you playing Devil's advocate :)  I appreciate it.

Our business model is not price-sensitive. It is quality-sensitive.

Richard
