For the money, Apple can kiss my ass. How many features do you really need? What superficial horse shit!

I have a 7-yr-old iPhone.
Does exactly what I need it to do with minimal muss, fuss. No bells, whistles, extra stuff to show off. I get compliments on my "old school" equipment. Kinda like my Porsche 914. |

Kinda like my Porsche 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) I just got rid of my iPhone 4 and moved to a 7 about a year ago. Kids at work couldn't belive how small it was. It actually fit in your pocket. Now there's a novel idea! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) I only got rid of it because it was 3G and I found the network was limiting 3G bandwidth in favor of LTE. It had slowed down to virtually nothing. I can't understand for the life of me what it is with software updates that think it is acceptable to Fuch with the settings of my phone. Best thing about the iPhone 4 was when Apple stopped supporting it with those Fuching updates that jack up your phone setttings. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) That's what pisses me off the most, and it's not an Android or iOS problem-the phones should at least come in a version that is pocket sized.

Obviously, it would be called the iPhone Nano. Maybe the iPhone Shuffle after that - no screen at all! |

It’s actually the one my son has now. He likes the small form factor a lot. He used window for work (finance) and has owned android phones so he doesn’t hate any platform but is very pleased with the new mini. I like a huge phone screen since I use it as my primary computer. Seriously, thanks for the heads up. Looks like it's smaller than my SE, and more or less ideal. Also get your point above. It's all about what works for each of us. For me, it's about 1 computer (use one laptop but have multiple old Thunderbolt monitors it can plug into at home, office, and garage) and 1 phone. Have been minimizing my key ring with Kwikset SmartKeys (down to just two keys plus car keys…), and now minimizing my wallet as well. Obviously, it would be called the iPhone Nano. Did someone say iPhone Nano? Even Ferrell and Fallon couldn't keep it together… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDxtjVKJ76A Attached thumbnail(s) |
