    Bought the iPhone 8 plus yesterday.
    Got the 256gb silver one :D

    The back of the phone looks like a freaking clone phone from aliexpress, it's a damn toy!

    also no markings about not putting it in the trash

    You know what to do then!


    PS: Jobs is probably rolling over in his tomb, but you can now talk to you friend as a poop emoji, so there's that!

    Tomb? More like sacred holy pyramid crypt.

    Or at least that's what the Apple fanboys say. :p

    It's not that it's a cheap clone from Aliexpress, but that Apple's designers-in-California are going for a minimalistic, environmentally-friendly approach that your tastes (and the entire industry) have yet to acclimate or catch up to. It's ok that you aren't as progressive as you should be in this regard, your new iPhone 8 offers plenty of resources to narrow that gap.

    Progress and innovation come at a price. It'd be unwise for you to get in the way of it.

    Apple handicaps their devices by removing ports.
    Then proceeds to buy dongles to make your Mac or Iphone look like a Sega CD 32X

    I'd buy a Sega CD 32X with a battery, a mobile antenna, and a 80s phone mic/speaker unit; each as separated add-ons you plug into the previous ones. I'd then use it in public transportation.

    I'd argue their users have handicaps but that might go too far

    If you incorporate it into a wheelchair, you don't have to carry anything and you won't have to worry about the Sega CD discs pivoting around the spindle as much because it is mounted to something (can't guarantee it will be smooth while the bus is moving). The wheels could help generate some power to recharge the battery and you might be able to get McDonalds from the drive-thru without a car.

    Add in a Game Gear with a TV tuner that has been adapted to pick up digital TV and you're golden.

    A ham radio and a Dreamcast might flirt well enough to send and receive e-mail. If you add a boombox, make sure it records so you can share it later and make mixtapes.

    iPhone 8 looks like toy -> Apple removes too many ports so they can sell more accessories -> Sega CD 32X -> battery-powered devices with a lot of accessories for convenient use on public transit -> energy-generating wheelchairs -> cooking a ham

    Beautiful course of discussion, all in all. 10/10

    Surely you must have know it was a toy looking device before you bought it. I really don't understand the love of iPhone.
