Trials and tribulations of the iPhone

Started by Ewan · 1 year ago

I was sat on the train this morning next to a guy conspiuously using his iPhone (you know, “look at me … I’ve got an iPhone”).

    It is hard not to be a bit conspicuous using an iphone though - but I am not sure it is ever deliberate.

    It's possible to switch it off, aye. I've done it a few times and quite a

    Dont get me wrong - there are loads of things wrong with the iphone but these aren't issues I have ever experienced and I use mine all the time. I am not even sure how you could do it to be honest. Each to their own and all that.

    I'm inclined to agree with you there, AJ. I think it happened to me once or

    they keep on doing this regularly though!

    AJ - to be honest I'm not sure what he did - but that's what he said to his mate when he phoned him back.

    As for conspicuous usage - he was on headphones, with the phone in the middle of the train table - just begging people to look. Of course nobody did.
