Apple Sucks - Page 2 - GoFuckYourself.com

I managed to break my samsung s3 screen too with a very mild fall off a desk to the floor, so it's not just an apple thing.

Just replaced the screen and got an otterbox so hopefully it holds up now.

I was used to my motorola atrix, it seemed like it was indestructible. Although it weighed twice as much too. This s3 just feels so cheap and flimsy.

I agree. Apple is fucking bullshit.

Act like you've got some sense and get a droid

It wasn't the fact that my kid cracked the iPhone screen yet again, it was iTunes telling me it had to re-install yet again. Turns out the problem wasn't even with iTunes.

My wife and I both have Droids. This will be our last iPhone. I'm done with cracked screens.

If your kid wasn't dropping the phone, the display would not break.

The solution is simple: Don't drop your phone.

And don't buy devices made out of glass for your kids.

This is not an Apple problem. It's a kid problem.

Right now I'm reinstalling iTunes for the 4th time in the past month. Odd, because my other music software hasn't had a problem since I started using it nearly fifteen years ago. (I've been using Rhapsody since my very first MP3 player in 1998 or so.)

Make your kid responsible for repair of their iphones and I bet they suddenly stop cracking.

Personally I love my iPhone. I purchased a "Speck" case for it and so far have not cracked my phone yet after 2 drops to concrete.

My last phone, an iphone 4, managed about 4 drops before the back finally cracked. It still works despite having a big hole in the back.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the Chevy and On-Star Apps can do once I receive my new car, and will be buying some iphone controlled home lighting gadgets soon too (you control the brightness and color of your home lighting, wirelessly).

iPhones rock.

I made the mistake of buying an iMac a few years ago and of course it broke to the point of uselessness about 6 months out of warranty. Well of course I could pay the little snobs at the Apple store $500+ for a new power board or what ever the fuck it is and who knows if that's even what's wrong..

For $500 I can build a PC that has better specs than the fucking iMac..

For phones I use this cheap piece of shit Nokia that cost me $9.99 (literally) It has no bling, no bells or whistles, but it's lasted 2 years and the battery typically lasts me a week at a time.

I need to buy a smart phone in the near future and I'm dreading the hell out of doing so. I've looked at both iPhones & Samsungs and they both look like they would break very easily.

Not only more for nothing, but on top of that - more for headaches, like you have to use itunes, like they have to have some special connectors and so on. Everything so that it would be more difficult for their users.
Apple buy isnot a smart buy, fact.

bl4h · 04-09-2013, 02:27 PM

buy him/her a case. I hate apple too but plastic doesnt crack all by itself

if they say they dont like cases hit them with a belt

My "smart phone" is like it was out of the box. know why? I take care of my shit

You people are missing the point.

I've never met anyone who has broken an Android screen. Half of my kid's friends have iPhones, and at any given chance there is a 50/50 chance their screen is cracked. Yet the other half of my kid's phones who don't have iPhones never have cracked screens - ever.

Then you have this: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-...een-poll-says/

so the conclusion of your survey is that kids with iphones are spoiled brats without respect for things

my sister broke two screens. but I have to back up apple a little bit. if you drop something even once you should expect it to break. i mean you can see and feel that its an electronic device, and think to yourself " i better not drop this, because it will break! "

theres a lot of things to hate apple over but for real? throwing your phone on the ground and it cracking is weird?

A girlfriend of mine showed me her broken Samsung note today. All of these smart devices can be broken by dropping them. Get a good case.

The iphone and the iOS smokes Droid imo and syncs beautifully with all of my devices which is something the the others have not get gotten down.

Apple rocks.

Yea, no, not so much. I've spent nearly $500 on multiple "otterbox" cases and similar. No workie - iPhone still broke. It's comical because she never broke the screen on any other phone.

Ummm. I drop mine about six times per day. Speck case is the only way to go.

I think you should get her a Zack Morris model so she can learn how to have nice things.

Herb Kornfield · 04-10-2013, 06:42 AM

I have had iPhones for years. Never broke a screen and mine is on job sites, in my car bouncing around in a console at times as well sitting in my office most of the day ... not a single scratch on it .. why? ... Otterbox the day I bought it.

I have the larger otterbox that covers 100% of the phone. Why? ... its a $500 device, also my personal and business phone.

I bet if the kid had the industrial strength otterbox, the screen would not be cracked.

Also ... with my teenaged step daughters. When they broke their screens from dropping them, and tossing them about ... they got a flip phone replacement until they had to save up their spending money, holiday cash from family and bought replacements. Funny, they have not broke a phone since.

You uhh... Do realize it's not iTunes that does the charging but your computer itself... Right? Please tell me you know this...

Get a new charger, yours is probably broken, or uhh... Get a new computer because the USB port isn't working right?

I use the driod 4.... has a physical keyboard... the only issue is now I never get off work due to the constant flow text and emails

Choopa Phil · 04-10-2013, 08:51 AM

Tempted to record myself dropping my iphone 100 times without it breaking. The only way ur breaking the glass is with a direct impact to the screen. Face the screen towards ur thigh when its in your pocket and dont play with it over jagged rocks and it will never break.
