iPhone Ban Lifted

For the true smartphone lover, good news has come from Apple (who manufacturers the iPhone). I read an article on the internet and discovered that consumers can now buy up to five iPhones per person. Evidently, a couple of months ago, the company restricted consumers' ability to buy the iPhone, limiting them to only two per person. For an unspecified reason, that restriction has now been lifted, and everyone can buy five of them. I personally do not understand why people would need five of them (unless you're giving everyone on your Christmas list an iPhone), but I really do not understand why Apple restricted the purchasing. It would seem to me that the more they sold, the better off they are. Nevertheless, the article did say that consumers should be ready to be told they will be restricted once again--the company has not said that the lift on the ban is permanent. So, with Christmas quickly approaching, get out and buy those iPhones while you still can. Obviously, these are very popular products and are in very high demand. I have never actually used one, but I would think they would be very handy for a drug information needing pharmacist.
