  • Bobby’s mum and dad decided that the only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon quickie with their 10-year-old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony and order him to report on all the neighbourhood activities.

    The boy began his commentary as his parents put their plan into action.

    “There’s a car being towed from the parking lot,” he said. “An ambulance just drove by.” A few moments passed.

    “Looks like the Anderson’s have company,” he called out. “Matt`s riding a new bike, and the Coopers are having sex.”

    Mom and dad shot up in bed. “How do you know that?” the startled father asked.

    “Their kid is standing out on the balcony too,” his son replied.






  • I imagine this is how Apple would justify it - if there are internal screws or shields missing then it’s a sign that it has been repaired previously by a 3rd party. It might work fine, but it’s not to the original Apple specification.

    The Apple store don’t want to take responsibility for those repairs so refuse to do further work in case it leaves them with liability.





  • Nobody’s mentioned it, but the main thing for me is that the screen aspect ratio isn’t any good.

    I’ve always preferred bigger screens and bigger phones and willing to pay a bit extra for a foldable screen now they’ve been on the market for a while. I doubt they’ll last as long as a normal phone screen, but they generally review well and I get they impression they are more durable than most people expect.

    But… the main benefit of a big screen (for me) is for watching videos. If it’s not 16:9 (or close to it) then what’s the point? I don’t need to multitask on my phone, I’ll switch to a laptop for that - I’ve had phones that do split screen for years and it was a cool gimmick for a while, but I’ve never really made good use of it.

    If anyone can tell me of a phone with a big screen and 16:9 aspect ratio then I’d be willing to reconsider…
