Re: I thought you would be

@Lusty

It seems you are one of those people who's job consists of going to meetings, giving presentations, and inputting data for reports nobody will ever read.

We have many people at my workplace that complete these dubious tasks. We have no idea what their purpose is or why they are paid comparably to skilled engineers.

Productive work is done on a desktop/laptop, no amount of prancing around with a tablet will change that.

Re: True innovation

You don't think the guy just took a photo of a desktop PC bootscreen error, then displayed it fullscreen on the phone?

Would be a fine joke to play.

Re: White v Hispanic and Black

Would these people be demanding secession if Mitt Romeny had won? No of course not, their God, Guns, Cross Burning, Tea-Bagging fruit loop agenda would of been followed.

Obama won, grow up and get over it.

Re: Game Over

I never made the connection, but everytime I shake my 'gentleman' after urinating, the nearest printer to the bathroom prints out a test page.

I assume I owe Apple royalties, otherwise they will convince a Judge to take my penis off the market.

Re: Lot of hipstery in this thread so far

*sniff* "I don't need an iPhone or anything else to know that I'm better than you." *sob*

Posting a comment intending to annoy other readers, then acting like a child when you are corrected. Like I give a fuck if it's your first smartphone.

Re: Lot of hipstery in this thread so far

@Aaron Em

More than anything else, this attitude is why many of us can't stand Apple. The delusion that owning Apple hardware make you a better person.

Wanker.

Re: Obviously A Fanboi ...

Is the reviewer perhaps the hidden love child of Steve Jobs and Tim Cook. Spawned in the Apple Labs. Home schooled using only SIRI and Apple products, no sense or knowledge of any other technology. The iClone LIVES!

The worst review I've ever read -

1. Grovelling indroduction

2. Foaming at the gash about the appearance.

3. Ignoring massive flaws.

4. End.

That had no place on this site, it was a essentially a review about what a phone case looked like. Do your readers a favour Reg, execute the simpering idiot who wrote the review, then delete any reference to him from your archives.

Re: But Surely

You surely do have more mapping options. It's just the default iphone map app, that most Apple uses will use is the crap new one.

Most Apple uses have been brainwashed to accept what they are given, they wouldn't have a clue how to use a different system. "I don't want to know how it works, I don't want to mess around, my iPhone just works!" squeals the Apple user.

So thanks to this philosophy, Apple now have a userbase that is mostly incompetent and unwilling to learn anything about the devices they use. Unable to find their arses with both hands, they will wave their $600 mistake at anyone with half a brain shouting "MAPS BROKEN!"

Stop trying to spin these failures Frank, it make you look like a moron.

Re: See also

Any delays were due to Apple trying to finalise patents on the following -

1. Moving objects from one part of the world to another.

2. The process of creating seemingly random connectors for devices (this involves rolling 2 dice, snake eyes gets your new iPhone a parallel port).

3. Air.

Sadly, only one was granted -

Concocting a tsunami of bullshit that convinces the idrones to buy the same tired product for the 5th year running.

Notice you're not trying to defend it though. Not even the most blinkered, deluded and brainwashed of Apple apologists can talk up this overpriced, under-featured garbage.

Re: That's all?

"and you know the performance of this phone's CPU how?"

The CPU performance is perhaps your only stab at making this aged and bland product relevant.

All the hype, the endless wittering of Apple users, months upon months of it. And the result of all of this is?

You get one extra line of icons.

Re: Ahem

@DougS

Well after sanctimoniously lecturing me with your comical 'facts' you now look like a giant bellend. Well done.

I'm also indifferent to android btw

Re: But the real stand-outs are two new imaging features.

"...it's called turning the lights on to take a photo"

And if you're outside at night? Make a habit of rotating the Earth to match your lighting requirements do you?

Re: Ahem

"A4 and A5 are Apple-designed ARM derivatives"

Derivatives is the key word. You must remember Apple engineer fuck-all themselves. They simply take something already invented, put it in a glass case and then claim everyone else is copying them.

Re: @ AC 1433h - All seems rather unfair......

"Enjoy a downvote for poor logic."

Ooooh, a downvote from an Apple nerd. That will keep you awake at night.

Re: Apple Schmapple

Rambling Apple nerd. Why use just one post when you can make 3!

So?

@FrankAlphaXII

American Soldier? So what. Citizens of your county might get all misty eyed and start weeping when 'our boys in the military' are mentioned, not so much over here.

Arming countries in turmoil then blowing the shit out of them a decade later doesn't speak to me of any clear forethought or wisdom.

Not saying those regimes didn't need to go, but take a look at your own now and again. Assange is an asshole granted, but look how easily he's made your paymasters look impotent. I fear that's the reason they want him.

Re: Very strange behaviour indeed

Give it up, you've been found out. Your credibility is zero.

Re: The screen

"Evidently, it’s a phone designed to steal market share from HTC"

Using this logic, Huawei stand to reap in profits of £19.20 next year! That's assuming they steal 50% or so.

But...

I would be delighted if somehow I was mis-sold an iPhone and given a Galaxy instead. Lets face it, its a far better piece of equipment.

Re: Very strange behaviour indeed

Hasham, you clearly don't care to understand what the Beastie Boy ethos evolved into. The fact you used a phrase like 'you created a few pop songs' shows not only your misguided ignorance, but also how much of a bellend you are.

Starting with Paul's Boutique, the Beasties created sublime music that influenced a generation, and more than just a few here I imagine. Your attempt to lessen this is comically inept.

Yauch then devoted his time promoting non aggression, and attempted to raise awareness of oppressed nations. All on his own dime. You think this guy wanted to shill crap to stupid fat Americans after his death? You can't see how this would be the antithesis to his character?

To borrow from Bill Hicks also. Stop trying to put a dollar sign on everything, you sucker of Satan's cock.

Re: All very well but ...

Props for the 'phone in the pint' picture Alun, inspired!

Re: Pretty solid case

Do you spend all of your free time hunting the net to find dubious articles supporting Apple's right to rule the world?

Oooh! Some meatheads were too stupid to realise what they buying! You're using this article for evidence?

I would advise taking off the i-groinal attachment, turning off your i-device and learning to accept Apple is just another company that makes gadgets.

Re: Trying to create a joke since forever

With such a bizarre and impenetrable post, you have made yourself the joke. Consider your long quest over.

And...

Thanks for proving my point. Getting all butt-hurt when someone insults your precious.

Also, try and spell 'imminent' correctly. I would of thought your magical I-Device would have corrected that for you.
