it was funny, two weeks ago (pre iPhone 6 announcement) I was out around town and saw three people with phablet-style phones. two were women with purses, and the third was a dude with cargo pants.

so I guess if you are a person who has a way to carry larger stuff as part of your lifestyle, it fits in. if not, you probably carry some sort of bag/satchel/backpack/briefcase when you need to carry more and you can just get an iPad mini or w/e

Who the fuck sits down with the phone in your pocket, that's what the table is for

i am 5'5" and skinny so I look really stupid in cargo pants. OTOH I am already almost never without my murse.

xpost OTM the meaningful thud of phone on tabletop like a judge's gavel. "Let's do this".

Am I alone with this? My iPhone 6 has issues dropping from the 4G network every time I wander out of a WiFi network. I'll have to dip it in and out of airplane mode to force it to reconnect to data.

i don't just sit down with the phone in my pocket, i bike with the phone in my pocket. kinda non-negotiable, i don't want to carry a bag 100% of the time.

sometimes but then the phone goes in a back jersey pocket.

i'm talking about when i'm riding around the city wearing jeans or whatever.

ugh (lukas), Tuesday, 23 September 2014 16:34 (nine years ago) link

I really don't feel like there's much pressure on my phone when I sit with it in the front pocket -- maybe these people are wearing some tight-ass pants or have some thick-ass thighs.

ya prob wearing tight jeans as is the style

lag∞n, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 16:39 (nine years ago) link

Bicycling with a phone in your front pocket sounds pretty uncomfortable tbh xp

nah biking with my 5s is fine. it kinda ends up off to the side and i don't notice it.

ugh (lukas), Tuesday, 23 September 2014 16:50 (nine years ago) link

I'm now concerned I won't be able to carry this phone in my pockets, what with my gigantic penis

Tried to buy an iPhone 6 online from Verizon but their website was broke down. It failed Safari, Firefox, and Chrome, but at different places consistently on each.

idk if it was mentioned here but through the end of the month they're offering $200 trade-in value on iPhones ($300 for the 5S) when you buy a 6. Better than Nextworth. I'll be glad to say goodbye and fuck you to AT&T.

Je55e, Wednesday, 24 September 2014 13:30 (nine years ago) link

not eligible for trading up to the 6 Plus though, which is bullshit

Nhex, Wednesday, 24 September 2014 14:10 (nine years ago) link

I'm getting a regular 6, but their website says The appraised value includes a promotional offer that requires a purchase of an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus on Verizon Wireless by 9/30/2014.

damn wow

I went into my 5's port yesterday and scraped out a bunch of lint n stuff & it was a little easier to get it to charge today, so I'm hoping that's all it was. I don't want to go all fixerupper on it if I don't have to (do NOT want to get a new phone right now)

just dont use those cheap ass third part charging cables kids! take it from me

lag∞n, Wednesday, 24 September 2014 19:12 (nine years ago) link

I actually noticed that a third-party cable acted up in the car and didn't maintain a connection well whereas the apple one worked fine. Wonder if that's only been a problem with the lightning cables.

my jaw left (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 24 September 2014 19:15 (nine years ago) link

I think I maybe fucked up my 4S's dock connector with a cheap cable before (my friend has now replaced the connector for me). The Apple cables are so OTT expensive though. I wish I could just find a midrange one I could trust. Actually I did: an Amazon-branded one, but it's black rather than white and has the Amazon logo stinking things up a bit.

Alba, Wednesday, 24 September 2014 19:16 (nine years ago) link

yeah i guess there are third party ones that are approved by apple but im too shook now i bought an official one

lag∞n, Wednesday, 24 September 2014 19:18 (nine years ago) link

I almost bought a third party laptop charger but then I bit the bullet

Ah, I didn't think before to search for MFi (Made For iPhone) in my search:

sick work lagoon la
my iphones battery is failing and ive watched several of those videos
the cost differential of buying replacement battery and philips 00 whatever screwdriver vs getting a professional to do it is minimal, perhaps £25
nonetheless i would like to replace it myself, not that i ever fix anything myself but the phone is somehow personal in a way idk a microwave or whatever isnt
still its just too intricate and idont really trust myself to replace it without fucking something up so its probably going to the repair people
regards,

nakhchivan, Wednesday, 24 September 2014 19:34 (nine years ago) link

I would fix my phone before my microwave because my phone is less capable of killing me imo

⌘-B (mh), Wednesday, 24 September 2014 19:40 (nine years ago) link

if u break ur phone u r basically dead tho

lag∞n, Wednesday, 24 September 2014 19:41 (nine years ago) link

your phone is a microwave though

nakhchivan, Wednesday, 24 September 2014 19:55 (nine years ago) link

not a very good one
