What are some things to say when someone says "It's just/only a phone."

[CJayC]

I seem to get this a lot by people who think they're mature/cool. What could I say in retaliation?

 

[Hellishness]

I hate people like that.

They'll step on my Fallens and say "It's just a shoe"

Hit their feet on the leather on my Bimmer and say "It's just a car"

I was thinkin about that earlier...when will they freaking stop with "It's just a____"

Just a MacBook Pro? Just a house?

This is just a phone...

I think we can all agree that the iPhone has a few more functions than that. So it's not "just a phone".

"You're right" would be the correct response.

I can't believe Steve Jobs said that.

Basically they are morons because it is so obviously not just a phone. There is so much more to this device than just a phone! The actual phone is a very small part, and one of the least used features for many of us, on this device. It is a handheld computer, not JUST a phone. If it were just a phone it would not be so popular, and it would strictly make phone calls and thats it.

Just tell them:

Your just a moron. (spelt that way for a reason)

 

[D1G1T4L]

Ok......

It is just an iPhone.


That better?

Step 1: Agree, because it is only a phone.
Step 2: Stop worrying what other people think.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit.

This is just a brick:

Currently, very comparable to the iPhone 4.

Update: The final quote was actual written by "Tom" rather than Steve Jobs, according to an update by Boy Genius Report.

Read front page, he didn't.

Why?

 

[MisterDisney]

Eat all my triscuits and say, "they were only crackers"? I hate that.

 

[IBradMac]

Why?

Because if people can't make a call then it's an iPod Touch. IOW, a Brick.

You could just be the bigger person and let it go. No need for "retaliation".

 

[PNutts]

Ah, gotcha.

 

[MICHAELSD]

Yes, but a phone is one of the things you use the most every day, and this does more than make phone calls, so I use it more. Why not have the best phone and be enthusaistic about it?

 

[dukebound85]

If the phone doesn't work, I just signed up for a 300 + 24 months at around 90 bucks a month for a grand total of 2460 dollar ipod touch or at the min, a 300 +1 month service +etf of 375 for a grand total of 765 bucks

it better damn well work

 

[Built]

My response...

"Then don't get one."

Why should I care?

 

[_Matt]

Dude, but it is just a phone. I am one of those people.

Mine works. It's just a phone.

 

[tuatha]

Baffle them with some representative realism;

"Ceci n'est pas un phone!"



Or just agree with them. Because they're right.

 

[Block]

It really is just a phone though. As great of a phone as it may be, it's not some magical product that will open the gates of heaven for you.

Apple PR is calling this a fake: http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/07/01/apple-pr-steve-jobs-iphone-4-conversation-is-a-fake/

Pull out a $100 bill and smoke it. It's only a $100 bill.
