Can't Decide On The IPhone 5? Here's What It's Good For:1/25/2013
To rock the bargain boots or go all out for a pair of Uggs? To drink Absolut or indulge in some Grey Goose? To keep the iPhone 4 or splurge on the iPhone 5?
It’s no secret that the more enticing retail options tend also to be the pricier ones. So before impulsively buying the latest trends, it’s fair to question whether or not item quality substantiates price, or if exterior glitz and media hype is attracting customers and sales.
