@RealKC smartphone
-
@dynamitesushi crap, you have a point
-
@olback how about losing their iPhone X 😂😂
-
@gitpush The funny thing about iPhone 7s is that it doesn't exist... 😂
-
@Kimmax I like their smartphones (but nsa makes it a lot worse)
-
I hate it too, I just say: let me get my phone
Or I'm going their by car
The only time I go specific, is when I say I'm working on an app on my Mac, because if I say making an iOS app on my computer ppl will be like:
How did you make macOS run on your laptop, or you can write iOS apps on windows 😨
Just to avoid dummy questions -
@olback well i don't know in which model to put an ass in
-
@olback 😂😂😂😂😂
No an iPhone user 😅 -
@gitpush Tay finally someone really understands me! High five ✋
-
@gitpush *trying to not say an offensive sex joke*

@dynamitesushi and you can't really call it fine dining either now can you
I agree that it is stupid in the cases he describes. I'm not looking for my Nexus ether. Smartphones are not all that smart but it's the category all phones today fall in; so just say phone.
Don't say iPad but tablet. Unless you need to make a distinction. Like the app does not work on my Nexus 5X because the NFC is overpowered (actual case with glucose sensor). -
@Anaeijon yes the number of times someone has stared at me blankly after saying the brand.
I can judge someone's phone knowledge instantly when I see their reaction. -
@Fenix and "my phone" is even shorter
-
@RealKC phone
-
@Krokoklemme if you say it quickly yes but personally I would say that myPhone (wrote it like this to emphasize the quick pronunciation) sounds quite weird if it should be said quicker than iPhone
-
I should start calling my Android device iPhone to counteract.
“… my iPhone…”
“That's not an iPhone!!”
“Well, it's an off-brand one.”
Sometimes brands just become synonymous for the product, like Kleenex. Maybe “iPhone” is just halfway there with users still feeling superior for buying the original one.
Made me laugh a little :D
:^)
For real though, to each their own in the end.
I accept MacOS for development, but Apple hardware is just...
Why the hell do people call smartphones by Apple "iPhones"?! Whenever people call their phones iPhones I start calling my phone by the model number.
Idiots: Oh no! I've lot my iPhone 7s!
Me: Oh no! I've lost my Oppo A37f pink edition!
See, sounds stupid right? Imagine it in everyday life!
-We're packing for camp! You! Take your North Face N638 grey
-Done!
-You, other guy! You will ride your BMX X Black!
See? It does sound stupid!
TL;DR
If you're saying iPhone, you're a fucking idiot. (it's like saying Googling instead of searching the internet)
rant
iphone
fuck iphone
if you say it you're gay
