iPhones are garbage!

[NoStateofMind]

This and this.

One poor experience with a product does not make the entire product line garbage. If you buy expensive toys, know the warranties on them, and purchase extended warranties when appropriate.

This.

This is not a common problem with iPhones.

But some slave labor people busted their ass making that! They'll probably go kill themselves now. Mean Trident!

 

[ahenkel]

I just wanted to make sure there was a record of me posting in a Trident thread. When the religion based on his greatness is started I want to make sure I have proof I was there.

I dislike iPhones, but even I admit that they are pretty well built for consumer devices.

Dear TridenT,

How are you? I am fine.

I like my iPhone. It works well for me.

Love,

Apostrophes are not your strong suit.

What? Or did he edit it?

i don't think that's gonna fix your iphone, man.

This is a known problem with the iPhones.
There is a pretty simple fix. Put it in a bowl of rice overnight.
Not dry rice, but moist fried rice. The humidity causes the motor to un-stick.
The rice maintains the humidity level so it doesn't get too humid.

Pretty sure it would be better to replace under warranty if that's an option.

Besides, silica gel would be a much better alternative to rice. Just don't eat it afterwards.

OK, obviously neither of you actually READ edro's post.

Got a new iPhone. Restoring old stuff. I have no clue if it will restore everything... I'll find out.

It probably won't.

I hope.

I hope.

at least he won't have to worry about his friends phone numbers. im sure it will get the 2 or 3 he has. ^_^

 

[TridenT]

It did. Fuck ya. I got all my text messages, all my photos, all my phone numbers(important!), and more.

Well shit, this must be the best thing to ever happen to you this year. Maybe even your life.

For some reason I read that first word as "apostrophone"
It would sell under the name 'phone


Life lesson: don't put a vibrating phone in your ass then call it nonstop for 20 straight minutes. The motor will burn out and Apple will be dicks about it because their warranty won't cover it even though they know damn well that 99% of Apple customers will do this! God damn Steve Jobs must die! God's working his magic way too slow for my liking.

Why? You don't remember your parent's phone number?

All those numbers, how am I suppose to?

Kind of a crappy post... Never know who's going to believe you and void their warranty

Trident, now that you have it replaced its time to sell it before the warranty runs out. Don't want to keep a phone thats garbage do you?
