Quit whining!

I don't know if the posts about scuffs are worse or the posts complaining about the posts about scuffs.

In other words... you're adding to the problem/annoyance.

 

A device shouldn't be so susceptible to damage that it scuffs on the first day however.

 

Nobody is debating that, people are annoyed and rightly so that when they've unboxed the device that its already scratched/dented

 

Well now that I've read your giant angry wall of text, life makes sense. Thank you

 

I'm confused by the posts like this. The overwhelming majority of people are complaining about scrapes and scuffs out of the BOX, not with normal wear and tear. A phone shouldn't have normal wear and tear upon opening the box.

 

But BUT BUT BUT. I put my phone down on the table and and it got a booo booo
LOL

I agree its a phone it is supposed to be used. If you use it carefully and it gets a scratch that's normal wear and tear..

I do agree with it should not have this out of the box. That is just annoying.

 

I think you are missing the point entirely.

A product, especially one as expensive as the iPhone 5 should not be damaged out of the box.

It shouldn't have a glitchy display.

You shouldn't be able to press the glass and flex the display like you can on htc phones.

You shouldn't have light leakage because the LCD and body aren't bonded together properly.

You shouldn't have a battery rattling loose inside the phone.

 

Agreed, I have two small blemishes on the antenna band. Doesn't bother me as I have to really look at it to see them, they aren't very noticeable but they're there

 

That isn't what I'm trying to say. I will be buying the iPhone 5 outright for around $1000 soon. I expect that the phone wouldn't be so easily damageable that I would take it out of my pocket after the first use and it be scratched. I'm not saying this would happen, I'm just saying these expensive devices should have at least some durability and not be as scratch prone as many posts here are leading me to believe.

 

Quit complaining about complainers. It just makes you look, well, stupid.

This is the point and many morons fail to see this because they are simple minded. It's made evident by them saying 'mine is perfect so quit whining'. Lack of empathy is usually associated with a low I.Q..

 

How can a 12 year old "get a grip"?

 

Whining about a problem with a product you pay for makes a lot more sense than whining about people you dont know.

These threads are well labeled and easily avoidable so don't blame anyone else but yourself for your inability to click on topics that upset you. So take your own advice and "quit whining".

 

I highlighted the important part of your post.

 

The fact that you have been here since 2008 and thought your post would change anything or somehow add to the conversation is....well, quite scary.

Hope you pay more attention to the forum the next 4 years.

Then again, I am sure we will have a few more "STOP COMPLAINING" threads by others in the next few hours

 

what about posts complaining about complaining posts of complaining threads?!

 

Believe it or not, complaining about other people complaining does not solve anything and actually makes your complaining even more annoying. Believe it or not. Believe it. Or not.

Your sheer lack of common sense in creating a thread like this is astounding. Properties of metals has nothing to do with anything.

 

To me this sounds like whining... Maybe you should stop as well.

It seems you lack common sense. I don't mind if my iPhone gets scratched up to hell, as I know it will... But I don't need my phone coming pre-scratched for me. Apple advertises how their devices are built with the most fine craftsmanship... That would be considered false advertising if your device is being shipped scratched or dented.

You wouldn't buy a car, a watch, a computer, or anything that's costing you $700+ with scratches or dents. Regardless if it's going to get scratched in the future... Would you buy a desk with a chipped corner? Would you buy a glass figure for your mother that is cracked or scratched? Would you buy a USB cord from Apple that is already ripped? Would you purchase an expensive wallet that comes with a rip in the leather? Who gives a **** if it's going to be scratched in the future... When you're buying it brand new, you expect to get it brand new. Is that so hard for people to understand?

 

I want to be the one to cause any scuff marks to my phone, not Apple. I paid New, therefore, I expect New (without imperfections).

 

That actually made me laugh.

 

A phone is a tool.
People are acting like it is something more than that.
*That* is the problem.
(And you can thank Steve Jobs)

 

Why don't you just not read the threads where people are whining? Making this thread was the stupidest thing you could have done.

And for people who drop at least 200+ on a new phone, I'm sure they should at least expect that it ships flawless out of the box.

 

make the macbooks out of plastic


and the phones out of glass


its really just as simple as that,otherwise there going to scuff and rust.
