You paid $599 for an [iPhone](http://www.apple.com/iphone/); so did I. And then Apple reduced the price to $399.  Now you are whining.

Please shut up about it, ok?  I don't want to hear it.  If you didn't think it was worth $599, why did you pay that much for it?  Yes, it is cheaper now, so what?  Now people who didn't think it was worth $599 but is worth $399 will be buying it too.  It is called [supply and demand](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand), that is how the world works, get used to it.

And now you get a $100 [credit](http://www.apple.com/hotnews/openiphoneletter/) from Apple which is nice, but you don't "deserve it," you are not "entitled to it," Apple is being _generous_.

So.  Please stop whining.
