Title: apple iphone conspiracy theory
Post by: Corey on June 15, 2010, 02:11:46 AM
ok so today i go to make a call. says no service, i always have ful bars at my shop. so i shut the phone off to restart it, it turns back on and stays at the apple screen. i have to have a cell phone so i go to the at&t store i got it from and they cant do anything to get it to work, but they inform me i can come in tomorrow and preorder the new iphone 4g thats coming out the 25th. as im sitting there while they fuck with it theres 2 other people next to me with iphones that wont work.

coincedence? or is the iphone just a pile of shit. either way im gettin the new 4g cause i like the iphone. the new one supposedly does everything including mobile blow jobs.

Very doubtful. More likely it's just like every other piece of technology and they find ways to make it cheaper and cheaper which means it's a piece of shit that they know will break forcing you to buy something new.

They're not garbage but they're pretty locked up and annoying sometimes. I'd like to get a android based phone to play around with but my iPhone is tollerable.

No that's normal daily occurance. In fact it was probably a slow day.

I love the iphone, I did the unlock/jailbreak and teathered the shit out of it for the last 6 months, then one day same thing, it geeked out and wouldnt go past the apple screen. To fix it you have to plug it into teh computer with itunes on and hold both buttons, when it shuts off and reboots, keep holding the buttons and it will go into some special mode that only nerds really understand but it allows itunes to connect to it even if its fucked up. I had to reboot it and update the software and in turn lost the unlock/jailbreak and with that teh teathering ability. The supernerds said they have the next unlock ready but will not release it until the iphone 4 is out so apple/att&t dont cover it up before the new iphone is out.

I love the iphone and will be pre-ordering a iphone 4 today. The thing is like my car, I've had it apart sooo many times fixing stupid shit but its easy to work on once you do it once or twice.

I'm glad I've never had to disassemble a phone to "fix stupid shit" or "replace a battery."

I have the 3gs and mine never locks up or does stupid shit. It's as reliable as a stock Honda.  I also don't tether with it. I only use computers at home.

The only problem I have is the facebook app is a pile of garbage. Luckily I really don't use facebook much so it's a very minor problem

Havent you ever sync'd you're phone with itunes before?? if not you should do it every once and awhile that way in case you ever need to restore it for any reason you dont loose any contacts or photo's or what not. If you have syncd you're phone in the past plug it back into itunes and sync it, you will have all you're shit back on youre phone like it never happened.

Or get an Android phone and have it sync itself wirelessly.  That way in case your phone is blown up by an IED, you can log in on the new one and everything syncs back.

I went through about 4 iphones in the past 3 months.  I'm not getting another one, although I hear that the 4g versions are supposed to be much more resilient.

Nobody knows how reliable they'll be since they aren't out yet.

Good example is the HTC Evo 4G and the HTC Incredible are both having "problems" with the touchscreen where it won't always recognize screen-presses unless it's grounded.  Not really an issue since most people hold their phone in their hand when they use it, but shows problems aren't always evident until the product is in the hands of consumers...

Looks like it'd be reliable to me but who knows.

This. Get a net book if you need a portable computer.
Its funny seeing all the mongaloid kids these days walking around/ driving etc while texting or messaging their friends on facefucks with their phones, they look like a bunch of droids.

The people that fall into the asset column in life are depleting :(

So by your theory it makes more sense to have to carry around additional equipment to do the same thing a smart phone can do? That's faggotry X10

Whilst I agree that material possesions are a long walk off a short pier, for practical applications I would rather have a unit that will fit in my pocket and is cheaply replaced than one that is akward to tote around and more $$$ if something happens to it. By freeing oneself from the strings of the laptop you are effectively increasing quality of life.

Open > closed. Fuck apple.

Point or not, you're solution is gayer than the "problem" it's trying to solve. As Yurney would say, that's not Lightweight Jammin

iPhone = the best phone i've ever owned, dropped it 100x and never broke, does everything I want it to etc...

since I like to fix shit that aint broke, I switched to the HTC HD2 (WM phone) its a fucking piece of shit...I don't know if its WM or the phone itself thats the problem, but jesus christ I hate it.
