Well, by now it’s obvious. iPhone 4 is the Windows Vista of iPhones. It’s horrible, Apple’s trying to hock it off, and the predecessor, the iPhone 3GS, blows it out of the water. Replace “Apple’s” with “Microsoft was” and “iPhone 3GS” with “Windows XP” and I just described Vista. But Apple’s got one small advantage – the Apple fanbase is completely fucking retarded.
At first the iPhone 4 came out, and with it, iOS 4. Both had some cool shit (iPhone 4 has a lower-firepowered camera on the front for video calling, iOS 4 came with folders and multitasking). Everyone nommed all over the idea. Then came one little tiny problem – it couldn’t hold a call.
It soon traced to horrible antenna placement. First Steve Jobs went through denial – “Just don’t hold the phone that way.” Then he went through kludgery – “Here’s a bumper to put on your phone.” Then finally, shame – “Looks like the formula was wrong, those bars didn’t actually exist [lie].” And boom – iOS 4.0.1 hides two bars or so.
I’m glad I’m not an iPhone user. I have an iPod Touch, yes, but not an iPhone. I have this baby, a Palm Treo 680. I can just laugh at the iPhone users right now.
Oh, you’ve only got a couple bars? Here, use my phone, AT&T’s giving me all four up here…OH WAIT! You have four bars too, Apple just hid them because your phone’s antenna is in a horrible position! You can’t use them! ha! Here, I’ll call you when I get home OH WAIT, it’d just drop.
Yes, I am an ass.
