Lawrence O'Donnell, Alex Wagner, and Chris Hayes all have iPhones on TV right now.

I only noticed because Chris forgot to silence his, and got a call live on Lawrence's show.

Why is it that I still mostly see iPhones out in the world? I'm not talking about MSNBC. On the streets. On trains. In Malls. In theaters. In grocery stores. I still see mostly iPhones.

Sometimes I think that Google is buying back Android phones en masse and throwing them in a ditch somewhere.

People notice things that are like things that they have.

If you drive a Mitsubishi Galant it will seem to you that a lot of people drive Mitsubishi Galants. They don't. It was not a high volume seller. But because it looks like your car you will notice one when you see it.

Everyone I know has an apple phone. Maybe people who have them use them more? Or flaunt them more? I don't have one, but when I do get a new phone, that will be the one.

It is the cost of replacement and taking them to wild fires.
