    it is tiny and it looks like the future and the goddamn screen is so fucking crisp, what the fuck

    I moved up to this one from a first gen iphone, which I was enamored with for months. It was a goddamn tricorder.

    This thing just feels like the next logical progression. Like, we've moved from Popular Mechanics magazine covers to Omni, now. From the close encounters tuba playing aliens to the fucking 2001 monolith.

    shit is so sleek

    iPhone comic is fine. After reading the newspost, though, I wish we'd gotten a Transformers-game-will-kill-you one instead. It would be the latest in a long and prestigious line.

    Fragile? Like laptops, other smart phones, regular ipods, ipads and pretty much every other piece of electronic equipment in "this day and age?"

    Is that the fragile you mean? 'Cause dude, if you drop anything except maybe a DS then you're lucky if it doesn't break in some way.

    Two drops from a relatively short distance:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7-OBoDFeDY&feature=player_embedded#!

    A one foot drop caused this:
    http://gizmodo.com/5571658/first-iphone-4-broken-after-one+foot-drop

    And no it's not fragile like other smart phones and other pieces of electronic equipment. I used to work for a mobile service provider and we had a lab full of devices that would suffer similar drops from time to time and still work properly.

    Apple is marketing this at "ultra durable glass". It's not. It's just fucking glass. In an age where we have polymers and materials that can withstand this kind of crap, it's inexcusable for a device to stop working after a couple of bumps and bruises. It's incredibly poor craftsmanship.

    I work for an electronic repair place right now, and we get phones that break from drops pretty much all the time. My anecdotal evidence is just the same as yours. While I'll admit a one foot drop is pretty ridiculous, is that the standard, or is it just the one time? That video showed what would happen with quite a few other devices of any sort. Pavement and equipment do not go together. You absolutely cannot call being dropped three times from chest height "bumps and bruises." (though in fairness it stopped working after two drops)

    It's definitely true though that the previous iphones were surprisingly resilient as far as dropping went. That solid back went a long way to keeping them functional, even moreso than an itouch, and it's not so good for a manufacturer to go backwards in terms of sturdiness when releasing new product.

    But you are at risk of breaking any electronic from any sort of drop onto hard pavement, and that video really doesn't show something that couldn't just as easily happen to something else if you drop it onto bloody pavement. Everything is fragile now-a-days, polymers or not. Gravity has no mercy.
