Yeah, I’m pretty sure iOS still exists, because I’ve got iOS 8 on my iPhone.

Yes it is.

It isn’t.

Fine, go ahead and be a sheep for Apple, not my problem. Try defending this:

They're terming this "bendgate," from what I've heard. I'm kinda disappointed in Apple, I've never followed their products zealously, but the engineering in some of them is pretty impressive (the current Mac Pro for instance). Considering the fact that they're supposed to have some of the best engineers out there, it really makes one wonder how much they actually care at this point if they managed to let a defect as significant as the above one pass.

No, it's called bendghazi.

Wow, that's just a garbage design. The phone has literally no reinforcement in its structure. The 3G design and before had plastic casing and was therefore immune to bending unless under extreme heat, it was very tough. The 4 design was even tougher, probably one of the toughest and most sturdy phones I've ever seen, with its steel coating around the edges, plastic and glass reinforcement (the worst that could happen is it could get a little chipped on the plastic edges, or the steel could dent very slightly, but no bending). The 5 design was yet again a reasonably sturdy design, it was noticeably lighter, but it doesn't give off that toughness vibe of the previous ones. I don't know what they were thinking with the 6, it literally looks bendable. I even made a joke before it came out to my friend about it looking like it could be bent, and what do you know.

@Rulez: Responded in the PC Music thread.

I think the iPhone 6's problems are quite amusing. That's just because I never used an iPhone or anything of the like before. But at the same time I do feel kinda bad for the people who spent a lot of money on one then had this happen.

In all fairness they should've realised how much money they were wasting in the first place. iPhone 6 is garbage compared to nearly any other phone on the market.

They made it because they knew corporate sheep's like our buddy Fifo here will purchase it, cause it's Apple.

To be fair, I don't think iPhones are terrible. In their defense, they have one of the best microphones, one of the longest battery lives and the highest storage capacity out of nearly any other phone on the market. While I think iOS has basically become a shittier, feature-lacking version of Android now, even it has its upsides: the entire keyboard typing mechanic iOS has absolutely nailed, and actually makes Android's feel like a turd in comparison.

iPhones aren't even as ragingly expensive as people make them out to be; Macs are far more overpriced than iPhones. I mean, they're the most expensive phone, but look at the Galaxy S5 ($600) and the Galaxy Note ($800). The iPhone 6 is $700, and the 6 Plus is $1000. That's not a jaw-dropping difference.

In conclusion, while I personally find a lot more to like about Android, you can't deny that the vision of the iPhone is basically every casual's wet dream. It's the kind of fully-integrated "take my hand" experience that everyone dreamed of back in the early 2000s. And in pretty much every case, it follows through in giving people what they want.

At the same time however, I also have a lot to criticise, such as their shameless ripping off of Android ever since Jobs passed, this latest bending problem, and the fact that they're completely closed off to any kind of community development, bar apps. But well, that's why Android exists: for developers and people more willing to adapt to technology. One could argue that Apple is hindering technological advancement in that they're giving casuals the option to do with a product that babies them, but at the same time, they're making a lot of people happy, and the most casual of us all might have declined technology/smartphones altogether if Apple didn't exist.

In Fifo's case, I can only agree, he only buys from Apple because they're Apple, he's said so himself. Maybe he has other reasons such as enjoying their interface, but given that he's clearly interested in some pretty raw aspects of technology, I'd say he's definitely being a sheep.

Also, lol:

Whilst launching its Passport smartphone on September 24, 2014, BlackBerry CEO John S. Chen made remarks in reference to the bending issue, challenging users to try bending its phone. Apple has not yet commented on this particular issue.

Playing League of Legends with Shrooblord is quite funny. We recorded some stuff at teh same time so ...

Please don't make such jokes when I'm eating, I almost choked on my cookie.

The absolute best cookies in existence ->

I'm just gonna say that when a classmate looked to me one day using my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 for different kinds of tasks she told me "I regret having bought iPad2.".

@Rayfist Don't take it badly but the colours quality hasn't got anything to do with the Operative System's quality. Its like comparing garlics with gails, as a popular portuguese expression says. I think what you tried to mean was that the Mac's displays have got an excellent colour contrast, and in here I agree.

I am thinking in upgrading my current 5:4 ASUS display for a 16:9 IPS ASUS when I'm able to do so. The 5:4 format starts to feel small for either gaming or for productivity.

Rayfist was being 100% sarcastic, for note.

Aye, 5:4 is disgusting. Whoever thought 1280x1024 was a satisfactory resolution deserves to be burnt.

Sounds like you predicted the fault of Apple's product. Adsolution is magical!


Though I never had interest for iPhones, this I hate to see for anyone. I better make sure my cousin knows in case he decides he wants a new one.

I didn't notice it was sarcasm, then I retire what I said! I thought he was distracted.

Well, I'll note that I bought this 5:4 display more than 7 years ago, now it wouldn't be a format I would use now if I had the chance to choose other display.

I feel this aptly fits the ongoing conversation.

Also, I second Addy's notion of cookie superiority.

Nobody noticed I was being sarcastic? Really? Please tell me Hunch at least knew...

I found your sarcastic joke quite funny.

The fact that HARUKA missed it though leads me to believe everyone thinks I was being serious.... Guys, I fucking hate Apple, I hate macs and iPhones, is that clear enough? I thought the "right, guys?" Statement gave it away, come on guys...
