iPhones are as much a middle age crisis as an open top sports car. Really cool men of a certain age eschew such pretention.

On a similar note of being out of contact, but email not phone. Someone at work mentioned that they'd sent me an email, i said that I've not got an account. Everyone has one he replied. Anyway turned out he was right, i didn't realise that for the first two years of working there. Never missed anything important though, despite not reading a single work email in two years. Friend of ours was horrified when he came back from three weeks vacation to find 14 emails in his inbox for action. He works in local government. About the same for number for me I'd bet. I can easily (well try to) go a week without checking work emails.

Quite surprised that there are all these people here who don't have iPhones. Thought everyone had one by now. Sniff.🙄 You should look at a Windows phone next time if you want to move away from the me too ?

There was a Windows phone on the list we were invited to choose from last autumn, along with the iPhone 6 and something by Samsung. If I find myself with one of the few people who chose it - and the subject comes up, as they invariably make sure it does - they will always try a little too hard to explain what a good and sensible choice it was, and how having no apps for anything saves them countless hours trying to choose an app, and that it's the third one they've had but that the warranty replacement process worked really well.
On the other hand, I've been very impressed by the Microsoft Surface Pro range and HP's Elite x2 equivalents, which I evaluated for a customer project. I'd happily swap my corporate drone Elitebook for one of those.

That's a bit like people who buy Skodas. They always seem to have to tell you why it was a good idea as opposed to just saying they have one. 😉
Actually, my wife has some kind of Windows phone and like an old sash, it just keeps getting stuck or dropping when you least expect it.
iphone just works.

Why should an iPhone screen be any more smashable than anything else's? (Jinx alert) I've had iPhones since 2009 and haven't damaged one yet, although the shells I keep them in get well scuffed. I've always used, erm, protection for the screen too. Take out some insurance And cover your rig.

Not sure why, just seems to be almost compulsory amongst iphones. Lots of them i see have damaged screens.

Last year, at work, we were given the choice of an iPhone 6 which we could contribute around 300€ for, an HTC Android 6-something-or-other for free or a Nokia 930 Windows phone for 20€. My Windows phone holds it's charge over 3 or 4 days, I only really use it when my 5GB of data/month is used up on my own phone. The company developed an app for something or other internal use. They launched it for Android and iPhones but left out Windows.

Any time you politely congratulate a friend or acquaintance on their new car, if it happens to be a Skoda, ( perfectly fine cars though they are in my opinion by the way ) they always put their hands on their hips Rigsby from Rising Damp style, and launch into the many reasons why they bought it as opposed to a VW. I used to to find myself doing the same when I had Mondeos. Damn good cars they were by the way. See, I'm off again...😉
