Ok, maybe not, but I am such an Apple fanboy, so I was quite distressed when my iPhone started going on the fritz after the 3.1 update.
I waited in line for the first iPhone – for four hours. The highlight of my busy work flow is customising Spaces on my mac – it literally makes me smile. When the T.V is on mute, I’ll spill over drinks to put the sound on when a “Hi, I’m a mac” adverts goes on. Yes, I am quite embarrassingly a one-sided follower of the glowing apple icon.
I was positively aghast when my iPhone started going fritz. After the 3.1 software update, it would die a horrible, silent death in the middle of the day only to revive itself an hour later, when I had charged it an hour ago. I would be all “My baby, my boyfriend, why? Why me? WHY?”. The whole week, I was a jittery ball of flesh that had to revive her lifeline four times a day, my stomach doing back flips and my heart in my mouth.
My iPhone is my calendar, mp3 player, weatherman, song trivia, calculator, Amazon store, game console, facebook/twitter/mail updater, googler and, by the way, I can make calls. Sorry, I’m fanboying it up.
I did a drop-in on an Apple store. Suicide if you’ve ever experienced how busy their tech people can get. But I was squeezed in, guess they saw the plea in my eyes.
They couldn’t reverse the software update.
My warranty expired a month ago.
They gave me a new iPhone.
I’m restoring it now. I love Apple (but I’m not about to get a tattoo for them).
The video below made me swoon but W is disgusted by it. What do you think?
