I love talking to people who hate the iPhone. Actually, this
applies to anyone who hates Apple products in general, but the phone people are
loudest. They are always so proud of their Samsung or Motorola or LG phone, you
would have thought that they won the lottery. These people will tell anyone who
will listen about the newest feature on their phone:
“The screen is slightly larger than the iPhone.”
“It has an old style, physical keyboard.”
“This one says ‘Droid’ when I get a text message.”
They don’t care if you like the iPhone or not as long as you
are willing to listen to them brag about how much better their phone is than
the iPhone.
When I ask these people what they love most about their
phone they always say the same thing, “It’s not an iPhone” they say. This seems to be the
defining characteristic to these people. The other features about their phone
are all excuses they use to try to justify their love of their phone (really their hate
of the iPhone).
I don't know why they hate the iPhone. I have had an iPhone for three years now and I love it. I
love that it is user friendly, I love that it has a huge app store, I love that
it fits in my pocket and plays music and video and games. Oh yeah, it also gets
phone calls.
I love my iPhone for all these reasons and more, but last
week my neighbor gave me a whole new reason to love the iPhone.
On the street between our two houses is a storm drain. The
picture below is of the storm grate. You can see that the openings are just big
enough for a phone to fit through. As she was walking around her car and
talking on the phone she dropped the phone and it slid right down into the
storm drain.
Below the grate there is a sump that is about five feet deep. Half
way down this sump is a large drainage pipe and below the pipe is about two
feet of the nastiest, dirtiest, smelliest water you could imagine. For the
next twenty minutes we dredged the bottom of the storm drain with a garden hoe
until my wife finally located the phone and pulled it out. It was so gross. We
rinsed it off (more water couldn’t hurt now) and put it in a bag of rice to dry
out.
Today my neighbor is still using her iPhone. She didn’t
replace it or repair it, it just spent the night in a bag of rice. I LOVE that
the iPhone is such a sturdy little machine. Beat that Samsung/Motorola/LG.
That looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteI talked to the neighbor again the other day (they moved away shortly after this incident) and she says that she is still using the iPhone and it doesn't have any problems.
DeleteNow THAT is an impressive piece of hardware.
Great perusing and bases. much obliged. I'm holder of iphone4 and I had an incredible 3 yrs resting with it. Regardless it going solid in spite of the back glass is currently broken because of numerous drops and batteries are not holding up any more. I need to energize it each 3 hrs now.
ReplyDeleteI adore everything from the iphone4. Nonetheless, I am tired of the gradualness of 3G connection and can't hold up to move up to 4G network.
