LOL some people don't even know iPhone 4 is coming out, are they joking?

^^this. She's started asking why I'm looking for our old RAZRs. Early next week when her 16GB 3G sells, she's probably going to want to know why. :p

Yes, that's right OP, my wife HAS an iPhone (had it for 18 months and loves the hell out of it) and has no clue that a new one is coming. Not everyone is a tech geek.

LOL today I was talking with my school friends in the locker room and somebody noticed my 3-year-old Razr that looks like it was crushed by a tractor and tossed around a rockslide. They laughed at me and I explained to them that I sold my 3GS on Craigslist to recoup extra $$$ for the iPhone 4.

My coworker was like "iPhone 4?!!?" and I had to explain to him it was officially announced and shown.

The other kids were all like "Wow!" and "Really?" and "What's new on it?"

NONE of them knew about it! Seriously guys it's been ALL over the internet and news, LOL get with the program!!

They are so living under rocks, huh? I had a good LOL @ them. :p

fixed.

But seriously I'm amazed you're old enough to even join the workforce.
 
I had a friend who didn't know that Fruit of the Loom just released a new design for their 100% cotton boxer brief line. What a loser.
 
Some people are more concerned with finding a job, paying their rent or mortgage, getting food for them and their kids etc.

The release date for the next iPhone is pretty much off their list of priorities.
 
To be fair to the OP, i had a similar experience the other day at work.

I was sitting their using my old 3G, when one of my co-workers asked me what i was doing with 'that'?

I told them i'm selling my 3GS to cover some of the cost on the new iPhone 4. Then, to my amazement asked what an iPhone 4 is or even what that object i was using at the time is! :eek:

I told them it was a mobile phone, which allows me to contact other people and pull information off the internet, listen to music, watch videos, take photos, etc.

Next thing i know all hell breaks loose, people screaming 'Heretic' and 'Witchcraft', being hoisted & tied onto a steak and being burnt to death!

Now i'm annoyed that i missed most of my lunch break and i wont be able to sign up for an iPhone 4 contract :mad:

But i did have a right ol' LOL @ them!

You know not everyone lives and dies by Jobs' words. I now many smart and educated people who were (or are) unaware of the iPhone 4

Except I never called ANYBODY stupid. I thought it was funny, and wonder how you could not know about iPhone 4, but I never said it makes you stupid.

Because a lot of people simply don't care, that's why they don't know about it.
 
everyone is being suck D@#KS.. who cares if he thought the story was interesting and shared it..Im sure most of the people ripping on him are insecure in some way.your making fun of him through a computer to make yourself feel better.. Not Impressive.. your not getting any messageboard cred brah
 
LOL!. WHAT AN ANDROID!!, THERE WAS A KEYNOTE AND EVERYTHING!!!,HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW ABOUT THE NEW IPHONE!!!???


....Quite easily, it turns out most people don't really care enough to follow tech websites, and watch keynotes.
Will be interesting to see if they get as much media coverage, as the iPad was recent.

LIES!

The WWDC keynote was viewed by more people than viewing figures projected for the whole of the 2010 world cup.

It's THAT important! :eek:

/s ;p

Assuming way to much? Are you kidding me? There's nothing to assume, he wrote it out in black in white.

If you can't see it then you must be really naive.

He thinks it's really funny that there's people who don't know the new iPhone was announced, and if someone doesn't know about it, they must be living under a rock right? That's not funny to anyone over 13 years old. Not everyone on the planet follows gadget news, I'm willing to bet a lot that there's more people who have no idea the iPhone 4 exists than there are that do.

Like another poster said. A brand new car model could be announced tomorrow and I wouldn't know it, even though I'm a fan of cars, I don't check blogs and websites about them everyday.

Have no possible idea how you could think we're reading WAY too much into his post or assuming.
 
I went to Radio Shack yesterday and the phone guy didnt know that the iPhone 4 was announced, or that he would be taking pre orders for it on Tuesday.

Pretty dumb!

Now THAT'S dumb...and, being Radioshack, he probably then tried to sell you on the virtues of a Nokia over the iPhone...:D
