#1. My father objected to the higher monthly cost of the data plan.
#2. She had a lot of trouble using the touch screen
#3. She could not remember what to do with e-mail, texts, etc. So this meant she called me ALL THE TIME! "How do I do blank?"
She finally decided a smartphone wasn't for her. She now has a Samsung Rugby flip phone. The nice thing about the Rugby, it is Mil-spec and IP67! Dust proof and water proof! And it is simple to use. Both of my parents have those now.
A lot of people do not want a complicated Smart phone. Also, to be as high as 67%, you'd need to get Carlos Slim's Trackphone and the other "Obama phones" over to iPhone. I seriously doubt that Apple will want to put out that cheap a phone.
