That whole thing was dumb because what people really wanted was thin phones. The first cell phones were so drat thick. a modern iPhone is like as thick as just the battery on a Nokia candybar phone.

Used to work at a used computer store, the two discontinued Apple products everybody wanted to get their hands on were the matte cinema displays and 17" Macbook Pros.

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

android send texts with sms instead of imessage, so their messages show up with green backgrounds instead of blue on ios. green background means the person sending you the text makes poor life decisions.

kind of like yospos. amber screenshots means the op is dumb
