  • MattisPhoneStreeter COURTNEY MATTIS, 26, COMMUNITY AND JUSTICE SERVICES, 1ST YEAR "I might get one if my carrier offered iPhones, but they don't. It's too much money for me anyway."
  • TurnerPhoneStreeter JUSTIN TURNER, 20, ADVERTISING, 2ND YEAR "I just got a new Galaxy and it's way better than the iPhone. I'd only get an iPhone if I didn't already have a phone."
  • AnsleyPhoneStreeter LUCAS ANSLEY; 20; TELEVISION NEW MEDIA; 1ST YEAR"All the iPhones are the same. I might be interested if Apple did something different or added useful features so there's more that I could do with it."
  • DunnPhoneStreeter ASHLEY DUNN, 20, ADVERTISING, 1ST YEAR "I don't have enough money to spend on a new phone. There isn't enough new stuff on it to make me want to switch to another new phone."
  • JollyPhoneStreeter KIMBER JOLLY; 19; SALES; 2ND YEAR"I already have an iPhone and I don't see a reason to upgrade. It's too expensive and I don't use my phone that much anyway."
  • LaradePhoneStreeter MANDY LARADE, 19, PHOTOJOURNALISM, 2ND YEAR "My old iPhone has everything I need, why would I upgrade? There are more important things for me to spend money on than another phone."

With the induction of the new iPhone 5S into the Apple family, it looks like another strong quarter for Apple. Are consumers getting tired of all the hype ? Loyalist students seem to think that the new iPhone isn’t worth their time or money.
