Apple iPhone and related items (cont.)

Had mine for two weeks now having shifted across from Samsung and not really very impressed - maybe it takes a while to get used to the new interface...

It's already bent as well.

How the heck have you bent it?!

No idea.

It's not a major bend - maybe a milimetre or two - but I just took it out of my pocket having got into work this morning and it's definitely bent.

Currently have it under three very heavy books which seem to be gradually reshaping it but it's a bit disappointing...

If I'd spent that kind of money I don't think I'd put up with having to place the phone under a pile of books! Take it back!

Yep - it was part of a contract renewal though so not sure where I stand with that.

If it persists though I'll definitely raise it with the network.

Ridiculous really - I thought all this stuff around iPhones bending was complete nonsense or because people had stuck them in their back pockets and sat on them (which is moronic quite frankly) but this one was just in one of my front pockets as I got the bus and then walked in to work.

memo to diamond: don't put your trousers on backwards again.
 
Had an iphone 6 for a year now, no bends and still very happy with it. Having previously had Samsungs and Blackberrys I do much prefer the iphone. Not enough to queue for one, but enough to drive to Basingstoke tomorrow to get a 6S for Frau Bahn. And a trip to Basingstoke is never undertaken lightly.

Oh and a press release that may be of use to Diamond:

APPLE has admitted its new iPhone will bend if you are determined to bend it.

The company has been inundated with complaints from iPhone customers, but stressed it was impossible to make something that does not, ultimately, bend.

A spokesman said: “If you don’t want it to bend then don’t fucking sit on it. How’s about that?

“And, actually, if it didn’t bend then the screen might crack and you’d end up with tiny shards of glass up your back passage. That’s no picnic.”

The spokesman added: “Tell you what, shall we just put a sticker on the front that says ‘not for sitting on’? Would that help, you fucking idiots?”
 
Force touch, and Gifs. FFS, the only way I am buying a new phone is if it has a battery than can last 24 hrs on a single charge.

I wonder with these things how much people are there because they are OMG SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW I THING!!!! Or if it's just become a 'thing' now.

I'd never be part of the former but to be completely honest if I lived close to an Apple Store, was going to buy a new iPhone anyway and had an afternoon to kill (as I often did in my mid 20's - I'd kill for that now) I'd probably go for the LOLZ.

There does seem to be an expectation (from within Appledom and without) that purchasers should succumb ever-so-slightly to mania.

Its just a "thing" innit.

I went and queued up for the iPhone 3 i think it was, solely because i'd broken my previous one and hadn't had a phone for a week, plus it was just at the local o2 shop in my town....... I felt like such a bell end..... But i was surprised at the variety of people doing it, it wasn't just apple fanboys.

Its not just apple products though, computer games draw the same level of mania, but just don't happen with as much fanfare as apple, and increasingly over tech companies make.
 
I dunno, maybe it's that but from that video it could just as easily be a bunch of people who know that they're being a bit silly and just going with it.
 
Due to the fact that I had my phone nicked yesterday I now need to go buy a new iPhone...

it's a bit of parlour. You have to reserve one to be picked up instore, but you can only reserve at certain times of day. I was told that for Stratford I have to do it at 6 in the morning

So not actually free then, given that you're paying a shitload of money every month. How long is your contract for?

Well, yeah, obviously. But no more than I've been paying up to now so it will make zero difference to my finances. And having such a huge amount of data per month saves me a fortune in hotel wifi fees.
