Next level trolling

i order the silver 64GB 5S and the only delivery time it gave me was 'october' :(

so it looks like the best plan for USian iPhone users (at least by my lights) is T-Mobile's $30/mo pre-paid plan that gives you unlimited data (speed throttle at 5GB) plus 100 minutes a month. Assuming you can convince all your friends to call you on FaceTime Audio/Skype/whatever.

I don't know that I've used more than 100 minutes in a month in years. Most contact is via iMessage/text/FB with calls when absolutely necessary.

i was on that deal but t-mobile barely works in manhattan

I finally broke down and went into the store to look at the 5S today; the gold is even more hideous in person.

did they have any of them in stock at all?

Didn't ask, since I wasn't looking to upgrade; just wanted to see what they actually looked like.

The white and silver one is now the best looking one; the grey one looks a little like an abused black phone but is okay and the gold one is laughably ugly.

Basically, don't buy the gold one unless you dress like Bette Midler in Ruthless People

What if I dress like Lily Tomlin in Big Business?

then you want a Samsung Galaxy S4

my role model

i held a gold one today i would probably get it if i were upgrading

the 5c's are way uglier, also the phone knows its color so the backgrounds are coordinate w/ it, sooper uggz

They're ugly imo but it occurred to me that if they become widespread they will be incredibly visible and striking in public. Which I guess could be good inasmuch as getting attention is good.

Like all of the sudden you will see a lot of people on the train with jolly-rancher-ass phones.

there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a phone that looks like a giant Jolly Rancher

there is everything wrong with having a phone that looks like a cheap knockoff of itself

the case with holes is sort of a cool idea although I think they could have chosen better colors. I wish they had something like that for the 5s that took advantage of the silver/gold part on the back.

do the 5C cases not fit the 5S? I just assumed they would

No.

Always kind of liked this one

the case with the holes looks like a connect 4 board

pro tip your phone is smoething you are gonna throw away in 2-3 years, no need to bother w/ a case for it

I agreed with this logic right up until I shattered the screen on my phone and had to have it replaced

I sell mine after two years tho and the better it looks the more its worth xp

i haven't actually seen a screen shatter in person so i dunno if cases actually protect a phone from having its screen shattered, i dropped my 3gs probably at least 30 times in its life, have dropped my 5 like 10 times at least, never broke a screen

i just flush my iphone down the toilet when im done with it so i dont really care how it looks

Got $300 plus for my 4 after 27 months of owning it.

i also bought applecare which lets u get a replacement for 'accidental damage' for $50, up to two times, i think

mine fell off of a window sill and landed flat on its front, completely shattering the screen and rending it almost unusable without making tiny lacerations in your fingertips; it was the first time I'd ever broken a phone screen and it made me so angry that I almost forgot about my prodigious hangover

lets suppose you can only get $200 for an iphone 4 w/ scuffed up edges, that's $100 divded by 27 months, or 4 dollars a month, thats how much it costs to use your iphone 4 w/o a case and to feel its sexy glass against your skin....mmm......

haha alright

i use the most lo pro case on the market anyway (incipio feather) and refuse to put anything on the glass cos it feels nice so i get it.

i know people irl with cases like these

the only argument i can see for using a case is that steve jobs never used a case and he got pancreatic cancer, so if u don't want pancreatic cancer u should use a case, otherwise if u don't care about cancer like me go caseless

oh i forgot to mention steve jobs got pancreatic cancer and DIED, so if u don't wanna die u should get a case

my ipad just has a smart cover but i've def used an ipod case before

Bulky cases are so lame its true

Just ordered one tho cos i wanna live obv

my cat's new idea to get me out of bed is to shove my phone off the nightstand

fell... or jumped?

I dropped my old iphone at least 50 times and the one time I didn't have it in a case the glass shattered immediately; I got my new one on Monday and the 24 hours of naked phone before the case showed up was a period of constant terror.

if there isnt a retina mini this year then i don't know what

Yeah :(

My gf shattered her screen. I replaced it for her. She shattered it again after 2 weeks bc a coworker "startled her" ;_;

hahaha

the iphone 5s cases fit the iphone 5 btw, if any iphone 5 owners are interested in a fifty buck case that smells of isopropyl alcohol leather

I actually kind of like the blue leather case
