Comment on The Gold iPhone isn't just for mindless sheep that want to show offparent

Comments

True. But many people bought it sight unseen.

Device unseen, maybe. Sight unseen, no.

Apple.com had pictures of the device long before they waited in line or clicked 'buy'.

Gotta agree. When I heard gold, I thought of Mr. T. The gold they showed was much classier than that.

I thought "sight unseen" meant not having seen it in person. At least that's how I used the expression.

It's really hard to get a good idea of how these phones look in pictures. You have to see them in person. But many (most?) of those 9 million didn't.

In person, it looks so different.

Most of my friends (including myself) were making fun of the gold one, but once we saw it in person, it soon became our top choice.
