I thought it was a prerequisite to having an iphone in the first place

Liam Byrne · 06-11-2009 03:04AM

It's a nice bit of kit, but it's completely overpriced and the fact that they did an exclusive deal with one operator is another turn-off.

Wonder if the same percentages would apply in this country ?

Someone owning one isn't an issue for me; them looking down on people that don't shows serious asshole-ness, though!

I think The Register is to technology news what the Daily Mail is to real news.

Didn't most people get sick of playing with crappy apps on their phones about 6 years ago? All I use my phone for is calls, texts and setting an alarm to wake me up and to tell me my chicken is cooked. In fact I kinda want this bad boy.

Calls, texts and an alarm? What are you, some sort of aristocrat?

Back in my day, we had no phones, and we used to walk 15 miles in the snow to say "LOL" to each other.

And about 67.45% of statistics are made up

They should have just said all apple users are **** and morons.

I mean what kind of idiot would pay for an overpriced pc containing last year's technology just because Steve Jobs says it's cool....
lol..you just gotta laugh at them.:D

The elitism is was created by nobs who bought the iPhone and thought it was something special.

I bought one a couple of months back, not because it was an iPhone and I wanted to appear trendy but because its a nice device that does everything I need.

I also got a Macbook Pro yesterday because I'm sick of Windoze and I'm not going to sit around in Starbucks with it looking like a ponce.

57% of the time that quote is used incorrectly I'll have you know.

7.962% of the previous post was incorrect.

I hated the fact that you basically had to kow-tow to O2 and practically prove yourself worthy to have one.

Have an iPhone? You're not special, you just have a small device.

cmpunk · 06-11-2009 09:19AM

Just because you are to poor to have a iPhone you do not look down at us rich fuc.kers

AnonoBoy · 06-11-2009 09:21AM

I have a Macbook Pro because I use it to run software that isn't PC compatible.

I am actually a complete w*nker but for wholly different reasons.

I don't have an iPod let alone an iPhone. What does the 'i' stand for anyways?

Gone Drinking · 06-11-2009 09:22AM

I know one guy with an iphone, he's a dick.. therfore, 100% of iphone owners are dicks..

c4cat · 06-11-2009 09:29AM

Sorry to bust yr bubble, but the truth is that 25% of NON iPhone users are w*nkers too, meaning you dont need to be an iphone user to be a w*nker, but I soppose it might help if one was.................so please do not be a iphonist

Yeah, my Dad bought a Macbook Pro and I have to admit it's a very nice piece of kit. Simply, light, does the job.
When you're working in I.T. for years and years, you kinda lose interest in personal technology.
I like when I find a good garden fork. iPhone? Just couldn't be arsed anymore.

I think the i stands for Ives (Jonathan Ives, the genius who replaced Steve Wosniak. Boy that Steve Jobs can spot IT talent like Arsene Wenger can spot footballers.)

Funnily enough OP, he was quoted in a recent article saying 75% of iPhone users were in denial.

I'm working in IT supporting Windows clients for 10 years now, I find it boring at this stage. MAC OS is great as I'm starting from the beginning again and I have loads to keep me interested.

Gummy Panda · 06-11-2009 10:27AM

I use an iPhone and own a mac. I would be far from a trendy tosser. I've had other high end handsets buy iPhone did best what I wanted it to do. This reminds me of the iPod hate about 3 years ago, yet most people have them now.

In regards to macs, once you go mac, you don't go back

25% of iPhone users are w*nkers
