I purchased my IPhone 4 about a year and a half ago. I was interested in getting a phone because everyone I went to school with had a cell, and I wanted to have one to stay connected with my friends and be a part of the fad. I fell into the late majority adopter category because I bought it second hand quite a while after it was released. It was the first thing I had ever bought on my own so I didn’t want to spend the full amount of money on a brand new phone. I never put much thought into the quality of it, I wanted that type because many people I knew had the IPhone and seemed happy with it. When I was getting my IPhone 4 Apple had just launched the IPhone 5. Looking back I would have still purchased my phone even though I had done no real research on the reliability of the product, because it works great for me and never have had problems with it. In the future with buying new phones I predict I will fall into the early majority because I will upgrade to a new phone when I am eligible to do so with my phone carrier.
