| Ive had every iPhone since launch upto the 8s+ I have dropped and broken so many fn iphones - once, I had just picked up a new phone and went to dinner where the restaraunt had concrete floors... I had that phone for ~6 hours. I dropped it and broke it because I hate cases, and the iphone is so damned slippery. I berated Jony Ive (I sent him an email) and told him that the lack of a lanyard bracket was BS. (This was also when I was flying a lot to asia, and so many phones had lanyard brackets... I think Ive gone through ~25 phones? I have a stack of several right here: https://i.imgur.com/QvODonY.jpeg - plus the one I took the pic with... I think I have several more strewn about my tech graveyard... What sucks is that I have called phone repair places what to do with them all, and they say they are all worthless. "Throw them out" I just feel bad for all those kids in China who died at the assembly line to make these worthless products requiring suicide nets. (Thats not a joke, that is really fn sad that people at Flextronics (who use to build a bunch of stuff for Lockheed as well) just killed themselves.) (Oh and I had a MBP that was under recall for battery fires, CATCH fire in my bed when I was asleep... It was also an AirBNB and I woke upto my MBP on fire. Apple held it for two months, then even though the machine was under recall for fire, refused to replace it telling me I had the option to buy a new machine at full price. They claimed that a moisture sensor went off so warranty (and recall) void. it took them TWO months to make that statement and try to get me to buy a new machine. |
