Your sister is buying you and your mom new iPhones for Christmas. Apple pre-configures phones with combinations of color, background, and case options. There are 3 color, 2 background, and 4 case choices, making 24 possible configurations for one phone. Since your phones can't share any features, and order doesn't matter, the number of different configurations for two phones is 3 * 4 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 1 = 144.
