New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

Yeah Verizon has a $60 a month plan that's pretty sweet for single users

I'm trying to get a family share thing going

Might move to Cricket or Straight Talk

$60 a month without a subsidised phone? Ha – you can get that deal for £23 (£37.50) a month over in the UK, with unlimited data, minutes and texts.

Or £15 if you don't need unlimited minutes.

we dont appreciate hearing abt other countries phone plans in the usa

Your phone won't work in America tho

They confiscate that shit at the border. Security risk

we r too busy innovating for u to have cheap phone plans

im building a new internet right now

Yeah, I discovered recently that innovation v cheapness is actually the justification for broadband being so expensive in the US. And the US might be right! It's just we're still waiting on that innovation.

my phone plan has to work across a reasonable part of 9.6 million square kilometers, not some piddly island

broadband is expensive because we have roughly one person per square kilometer in the US

that was an exaggeration, it's more like 32

That would only make sense for broadband in an infrastructure set-up where companies can't cherry-pick high-density areas. It goes back to the 2002 FCC ruling:

Getting the dock connector repair kit, even though I got an iPhone 6. I can see one of the pins in my iPhone 5 is all squished down, and it has been destroying lightning cables (pin gets all oxidized for some reason). Wish me luck!

6+ really does seem a bit bendy

naw its cause this country is run by shit ass corporations tbh

what's the deal with people destroying extremely expensive pieces of technology through drop tests and bend tests? for what? a few thousand youtube hits?

yup

to be fair, eleven million youtube hits on that one

since yesterday, also that company has $$$

feel like he shdve tried to bend it back tho, i want closure

Feel like he shoulda been scientific and measured how much torque he was applying + used a laser level r something

i like how he just cranked on it it bent super easy what a piece

eleven million jeezo. does that add up to the price of an iphone 6 plus?

i just watched one where a guy said "you don't want to get into actions like extreme sitting" [with it in your pocket]

lmao is that like parkour

this is bullshit, phones shouldn't bend

Dunno what rates are like now but 11 million hits should easily cover the cost of a iphone 6 plus

doubt that video is monetized theyre doin it to run the ads for their company at the beginning and end

pretty smart

they hit the right tone/segment

i tried to bend my 5 but it wont

i already forget the name of their company

If I were in grad school mode id write something about the desire to witness the destruction of the mechanical self or something fueling the hits idk

squarespace its a hosted website thing w pretty templates n shit

sounds like an ok company

yeah there been companies like that since time began, each new one better than the last

$750 to buy 11 million hits is pretty good I bet even buzzfeed pays more than that

the phones still worked too he prob just bent it back and u can barely tell

sure but call me old fashioned, i just don't think phones should bend.

you can quote this post in 10 years when we all have bendy phones.

you're old fashioned

Flexible displays are already possible they just gotta
Make flexible everything
Else

phones shd only bend if i say so

i'm old fashioned too - i just bought a reconditioned 5c.

what color

thanks for asking. i got a blue one.

sweet

i wanted yellow but there were none available. i always want yellow.

i like that color blue

It's a good blue

I have the white 6 silicone case so it kind of looks like a big old 5c

I want a bendy phone but not a bent iPhone
