Why did Apple decide to make a skateboard phone?

Kids these days?! Really? LOL. Thanks for the life lesson, gramps.

It's called relativity. There were generations before you who had to rely on the Pony Express. You ain't special, we ain't special, it's all relative.

Need some midol cranky pants?

I only reserve my crankiness for out of touch old people who start a sentence with "kids these days" or "back in my day".

So thanks gramps, but no midol needed. But I'm sure back in your day the wimmen folk didn't need midol, they knew their place? (now I'm just being facetious, no need to now tell me to get my panties out of a bunch)

I completely disagree. It's easier for me to hold a wider phone. How can this statement be universally true anyway, given that people's hand sizes vary by at least 20%? Sounds like fanboyism to me...

haha. That's taken direct from Apples Site.

Are you calling Apple a fanboy?

Amazing.

The gripe for many isn't the 19:6 screen, but that Apple stayed with the small 2" width. Every thing that was too small on the 3.5" screen is still too small.

What are you talking about?

Just adding to your list of things that Apple sweeps under the rug. The first iPhone did not have copy and paste function. Apple ignored user complaints for quite some time.

But I spent money. Therefore it must be everything I want and nothing less. If I say it should be more rounded, because I spent my money on it, they should listen and make it more rounded.

If they don't I'll throw a tantrum!

I'll threaten to go use something else (secretly never being serious about it because I could never give up my precious iP5 for anything... ever...).

And in the end Apple will still do what's best for THEM and what they think is going to make the phone appeal to the MOST people...

Why is that so difficult to accept? Apple answers to it's shareholders, not you. And if you do own shares, let me let you in on a secret: you don't own ENOUGH...

so go buy an s3 and quit whining.

Ah I see now!

I thought you meant I was reusing an old post or something!
