Was this at the Eaton Centre in Toronto? My friend works there and it's possible he talked to you. He said something like: "you gave me a heart attack, I thought I was looking at a ghost." and you replied "I'm not a ghost, I just haven't been here for a few years. I like what you've done with the place."

Explode unharmed. That's a new one.

[–]LenDaMillennial 163 points164 points  (95 children)

Most flip phones, the Razor for example, did this, most Lumia phones with backs that come off do this, and some android phones.

[–]midnightatsea 31 points32 points  (9 children)

I have a non-smartphone (dumbphone), one of the kinds that slides open. It was $20 new and I've dropped it onto concrete, it's gotten wet, spilled paint on it, etc. and it's always fine. The payoff for being too cheap to have a smartphone is that they give you an invincible brick phone instead.

[–]aarontrini85 70 points71 points  (19 children)

I imagine that's part of how the v20 got its ml-std-810g rating. Every drop test shows its back cover pop off and battery go flying across the room.

[–]tracefact 69 points70 points  (13 children)

V10 owner here, can confirm. Dropped from varying heights on varying surfaces. Back pops off, battery flies out, phone unharmed and works fine after re-assembly. I like to drop stuff apparently. And I don't like phone cases.

[–]robertducky87 27 points28 points  (52 children)

I dropped my galaxy 3 from the third floor at a jobsite into a pile of wood it exploded worked fine after I put it back together .I doubt the s7 would do that now though.

[–]2059FF 202 points203 points  (4 children)

I dropped my Samsung Note 7. It exploded and caught fire, but that was actually the reason I dropped it.

[–]lorthic 24 points25 points  (19 children)

Dropped my s7 edge 40 feet from a roof--onto concrete--and it only had some scratching/gouge at the corner. Screen is perfectly fine.

It's really not. I remember when I was a freshman in highschool around 2005, I would throw my Nokia brick as hard as i could across parking lots, just to show someone how it explodes, then run and put it back together, turn it on, and call them or whatever lol

I had one of those Lumia phones for a while. I'll be damned if it didn't hold up like I'd expect a Nokia too.

[–][deleted] 39 points40 points  (15 children)

amen. I had a Lumia 520 for 2 years before iPhone 7. Man, those things are built well. I had no scratches. No case. Dropped it a million times. Did it break? No. It broke apart, shot battery and back cover off, and went right back together, no problem. scratch free screen. Blew my mind, how durable it was. Only upgraded because it was cheaper to go on my girl's plan than stay on mine.

[–]Thaliur 13 points14 points  (1 child)

I have a Lumia 830, and can't even tell how often I dropped it. The Corners of the Aluminium Frame are minimally dented.

Eventually, My camera module got lasting internal damage (Image Errors, or failure to activate at all), but luckily it's pretty easy to replace single modules.

[–]skulledredditor 13 points14 points  (8 children)

Did you get to keep your 520? I've still got my Icon lying around but the battery's gone to hell. I used to use it as a hammer, nothing hardcore but to put up calendars or hang things and thought if anything I would have shaken something loose inside it before anything else failed.

[–]BingoFishy 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Yeah I've had the same experiences with a Lumia 822. I managed to crack the screen after dropping it on gravel a couple times, but seriously I was just messing with it earlier, and it hit the wall and put a dentcrack in it. Phone was fine.

[–]Prosp3ro 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what I thought until I learned the hard way that people don't really look where they are walking and will bump into you even when you're standing completely still.

[–]akronix10 20 points21 points  (3 children)

It amused me immensely this summer watching people run into each other/things playing Pokemon Go. I don't think it was so much the phones to blame though, I think the novelty of just being outside was too much for them.

[–]PMMEPICSOFSALAD 79 points80 points  (30 children)

That's what I said until I dropped it.

[–]anoxy 32 points33 points  (26 children)

Then I paid like 40-50 bucks for a replacement screen and fixed it myself in about 30 minutes.

edit: and Amazon sent me 12 by mistake, so I can drop my phone 11 more times!

[–]the_flippy 27 points28 points  (5 children)

With how thin and slippery the iPhones are, I'm pretty sure they're designing them to be dropped.

[–]fuel126 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Agreed. I hate cases and I'm not clumsy but the back of the phone is so slippery that I feel like dropping it would be inevitable.

[–]ggtsu_00 25 points26 points  (1 child)

Basically your phone is naked. The general public tends to find phone models like the iPhone models pretty sexy, so seeing them naked in public is quite shocking.

[–]linuxhanja 34 points35 points  (64 children)

I have a thin, clear case, but I get comments a lot whenever people find out I don't have a screen protector/film. And when I buy a new phone: "please, don't put film on it." My Droid Incredible was the last time I used film. it fell off after a year, and I liked the way it felt without it. then my next phone gad gorilla glass (Galaxy S2), and I thought "great! I never have to worry about scratching my screen" (even though my Inc was unscratched).

Seriously, there are tests online with people dragging razor blades over screens to barely mark them. and nails, screws did nothing to the S2. Its now 5 years later. Me not paying $20 for a 3 pack of ceranwrap in order to make my screen less responsive shouldn't surprise you.

[–]Facialart 52 points53 points  (17 children)

It is true that sharp metal objects won't scratch these newer screens, however when it comes to scratching it is actually suprisingly not about how sharp the object is, but its hardness factor. Metals are relatively soft, but just normal sand grains (silica) have a higher hardness. That means that while a knife won't damage your screen, having just some sand grains in a tight pocket, the pressure from your body if you bend etc can actually still cause damage. Note that I don't either use a screen protector because in all honesty I don't normally walk around with sand in my pockets :)

[–]DonNHillary4-20-2017 64 points65 points  (8 children)

You don't carry pocket sand? What the hell?

[–]noxnoctus 34 points35 points  (2 children)

I can't stand it. It's coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere.

[–]unclefisty 11 points12 points  (3 children)

It's like you've never heard of a tempered glass screen protector.

The one on my wife's S5 save the screen from being shattered when my 3 yr old daughter slammed her feet into the screen. Cost less than $5

[–]natethomas 22 points23 points  (12 children)

There was a reason Jobs required glass on the first iPhone instead of plastic. It doesn't get all scratched up and crappy. Film is for suckers.

[–]IdRatherBeTweeting 25 points26 points  (7 children)

Apparently you haven't heard of the screen protectors made of thin glass.

[–]MyManD 21 points22 points  (6 children)

It really surprises me how many of the screen protector haters have never even tried glass protectors. They're smoother then Apple's crap oleophobic coating, don't smudge nearly as bad, and are just as scratch resistant. My fingers feel like they're gliding through butter compared to my protectorless iPhone 5 I relegated to music player duties.

And you can get a 2 pack off Amazon for 6 bucks.

[–]yolo-swaggot 8 points9 points  (4 children)

What can I say, I just like to bareback my phone. Nothing better than rawdogging a fresh mobile computing device. Sometimes I like to do it, knowing my fingers aren't clean.

[–]Ftpini 17 points18 points  (6 children)

[–]Ringosis 17 points18 points  (6 children)

Me neither. I didn't get a nice, slim, lightweight phone just to stick in big chunk of cheap plastic and rubber. It's the same weird logic as sofa protectors. You buy a really nice looking, comfortable couch...so why don't you cover it in a big plastic sheet so it's no longer attractive or comfortable? Genius!

You must always wear a belt! Even if you don't need it to hold up your pants.

I don't know it's just one of those things that drives me nuts about seeing pictures of him. Tucked in shirt, no belt. AAAAHHHH!! He may be a genius, but I'm pretty sure that means he's an evil genius.

Edit: I'm surprised going into an Apple store dressed as Steve Jobs doesn't get you a suckjob from every man and woman in there.

[–]ScrewReddit69 622 points623 points  (47 children)

My dad has a Mac OS X jacket that he got from Steve Jobs at the conference/reveal of Mac OS X. He would dress up in it and go to the Apple store to be idolized by some of the employees. One time, he even let someone try it on. We humans are so strange.

True story...

Waaaaaay back in 2001 when Apple first started Retail, I worked there. I opened the very first stores. This was back in the day when a new store opening made the news and there'd be huge crowds waiting outside to get in and see what it was all about.

One of my co-workers was a dead ringer for Steve Jobs from about 15+ feet away. So, of course, on opening day, he'd throw on his jeans and black turtleneck and go about his business of getting ready. However, we wouldn't let him do anything that would get him close enough to the front of the store so that people could then tell that it wasn't actually Steve.

As the store got closer to opening time. He'd wonder around the back, checking little details, doing the Steve Jobs "fingertips to fingertips" gesture and look pensive.

People outside absolutely LOST. THEIR. SHIT.

As the doors opened, he'd go out back, throw on his Retail t-shirt and whip the fake glasses off and then join us out front to greet everyone. We all made like Steve was just making sure everything was cool before he had to wing back to Cupertino.

[–]ratpH1nk 32 points33 points  (12 children)

Remember the red "Genius phones"? I spent part of my time at Apple on the other end of these phones.... good times.

[–]vbfronkis 45 points46 points  (9 children)

Sure do. I actually never ended up using it, but it was an awesome prop. Really made people feel like they'd get their question answered if we didn't know. (We always did.)

I loved that period of time. The Genius Bar really had its own personality depending upon who staffed it. We had no queues. You'd rock up with your 50 pound CRT-based G3 iMac and have all kinds of extension conflicts. We'd split-half troubleshoot your problem and figure out that it was your Iomega Zip drive extension that was causing the problem, update it, and then send you on your way without even charging you anything. Or worse, your directory structure had wild B-Tree issues and we'd use Norton to get your system to boot again. Still wouldn't charge you anything. If it was really bad we'd pull out DiskWarrior and pray to the gods for data forgiveness. Wouldn't charge you for that either.

Meanwhile there were 15 other people at the bar, 3 deep, and you're mentally triaging them all and figuring out who would be quick and who would be there awhile. You're handling all of this BY YOURSELF so that your buddy can churn through the 20 repairs out back that you have to get through TODAY. Did I mention we'd be fighting with Vantive the whole time?

It was a scene out of Cocktail and I was a nerdy yet personable Tom Cruise keeping everyone happy and entertained.

I loved it.

Steve would be so pissed at apple right now. The roguish spirit he embodied for his company is all but gone. I like apple, in general they deliver the product they advertise with a high degree of customer service and support. But they are definitely playing it safe.

I don't know if I blame Tim Cook, it's probably the smartest course of action for him, I mean under his leadership apple is making tons of money. But I'm seeing a lot of stagnation and reliance on brand power over actually trying to advance their product categories.

If anything I think it might be partially due to an over-reliance on Jony Ive, I've read numerous reports that he is the only person at apple who can go unchallenged at this point. And in earlier interviews he said steve was valuable because he would say "no" and without anyone to keep ideas focused and in check apple is providing more and more iterations on the same categories with no real advancement. I really don't think they'll see industry redefining product categories again until they get a new lead designer with a new design ethos in there.

Like I said, I'm a fan of apple but being a fan means you gotta call out the thing you support when they deviate from what you liked them for in the first place. And I respect Ive immensely, he's one of the most ubiquitous and defining industrial designers out there and what he's done can not be understated, I just think eventually everything needs to be changed and rethought at some point and maybe the Jony Ive era might be over.

Sorry this really should be about the costume, nice work! I just really can't pass up the chance to rant on the internet.

[–]nairdaleo 92 points93 points  (7 children)

Yup, things have gone from: "well... nothing new, but it still looks really good" to "WTF are they thinking"

Even the AppleByte guy at CNET said: "there's been times when we are not in the market for a new laptop and Apple comes up with something we just have to have. This is not one of those times"

[–]djtemporary 25 points26 points  (11 children)

Did you see Microsoft is now becoming Apple: Microsoft surface and dial

I mean, this invoked all the old feeling Apple used to give us when it was groundbreaking. That dial thing is magic, now if it works as advertised, that's just amazing. That's what people want, something we didn't know we needed that we want. If I was working heavily on a computer all day and just out of college, I'd be in line.

Was this at the Eaton Centre in Toronto? My friend works there and it's possible he talked to you. He said something like: "you gave me a heart attack, I thought I was looking at a ghost." and you replied "I'm not a ghost, I just haven't been here for a few years. I like what you've done with the place."

[–]midnightatsea 31 points32 points  (9 children)

I have a non-smartphone (dumbphone), one of the kinds that slides open. It was $20 new and I've dropped it onto concrete, it's gotten wet, spilled paint on it, etc. and it's always fine. The payoff for being too cheap to have a smartphone is that they give you an invincible brick phone instead.

[–]aarontrini85 70 points71 points  (19 children)

I imagine that's part of how the v20 got its ml-std-810g rating. Every drop test shows its back cover pop off and battery go flying across the room.

[–]tracefact 69 points70 points  (13 children)

V10 owner here, can confirm. Dropped from varying heights on varying surfaces. Back pops off, battery flies out, phone unharmed and works fine after re-assembly. I like to drop stuff apparently. And I don't like phone cases.

[–]robertducky87 27 points28 points  (52 children)

I dropped my galaxy 3 from the third floor at a jobsite into a pile of wood it exploded worked fine after I put it back together .I doubt the s7 would do that now though.

It's really not. I remember when I was a freshman in highschool around 2005, I would throw my Nokia brick as hard as i could across parking lots, just to show someone how it explodes, then run and put it back together, turn it on, and call them or whatever lol

I had one of those Lumia phones for a while. I'll be damned if it didn't hold up like I'd expect a Nokia too.

[–][deleted] 39 points40 points  (15 children)

amen. I had a Lumia 520 for 2 years before iPhone 7. Man, those things are built well. I had no scratches. No case. Dropped it a million times. Did it break? No. It broke apart, shot battery and back cover off, and went right back together, no problem. scratch free screen. Blew my mind, how durable it was. Only upgraded because it was cheaper to go on my girl's plan than stay on mine.

[–]Thaliur 13 points14 points  (1 child)

I have a Lumia 830, and can't even tell how often I dropped it. The Corners of the Aluminium Frame are minimally dented.

Eventually, My camera module got lasting internal damage (Image Errors, or failure to activate at all), but luckily it's pretty easy to replace single modules.

[–]skulledredditor 13 points14 points  (8 children)

Did you get to keep your 520? I've still got my Icon lying around but the battery's gone to hell. I used to use it as a hammer, nothing hardcore but to put up calendars or hang things and thought if anything I would have shaken something loose inside it before anything else failed.

[–]BingoFishy 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Yeah I've had the same experiences with a Lumia 822. I managed to crack the screen after dropping it on gravel a couple times, but seriously I was just messing with it earlier, and it hit the wall and put a dentcrack in it. Phone was fine.

[–]akronix10 20 points21 points  (3 children)

It amused me immensely this summer watching people run into each other/things playing Pokemon Go. I don't think it was so much the phones to blame though, I think the novelty of just being outside was too much for them.

[–]PMMEPICSOFSALAD 79 points80 points  (30 children)

That's what I said until I dropped it.

[–]anoxy 32 points33 points  (26 children)

Then I paid like 40-50 bucks for a replacement screen and fixed it myself in about 30 minutes.

edit: and Amazon sent me 12 by mistake, so I can drop my phone 11 more times!

[–]the_flippy 27 points28 points  (5 children)

With how thin and slippery the iPhones are, I'm pretty sure they're designing them to be dropped.

[–]fuel126 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Agreed. I hate cases and I'm not clumsy but the back of the phone is so slippery that I feel like dropping it would be inevitable.

[–]ggtsu_00 25 points26 points  (1 child)

Basically your phone is naked. The general public tends to find phone models like the iPhone models pretty sexy, so seeing them naked in public is quite shocking.

[–]linuxhanja 34 points35 points  (64 children)

I have a thin, clear case, but I get comments a lot whenever people find out I don't have a screen protector/film. And when I buy a new phone: "please, don't put film on it." My Droid Incredible was the last time I used film. it fell off after a year, and I liked the way it felt without it. then my next phone gad gorilla glass (Galaxy S2), and I thought "great! I never have to worry about scratching my screen" (even though my Inc was unscratched).

Seriously, there are tests online with people dragging razor blades over screens to barely mark them. and nails, screws did nothing to the S2. Its now 5 years later. Me not paying $20 for a 3 pack of ceranwrap in order to make my screen less responsive shouldn't surprise you.

[–]Facialart 52 points53 points  (17 children)

It is true that sharp metal objects won't scratch these newer screens, however when it comes to scratching it is actually suprisingly not about how sharp the object is, but its hardness factor. Metals are relatively soft, but just normal sand grains (silica) have a higher hardness. That means that while a knife won't damage your screen, having just some sand grains in a tight pocket, the pressure from your body if you bend etc can actually still cause damage. Note that I don't either use a screen protector because in all honesty I don't normally walk around with sand in my pockets :)

[–]DonNHillary4-20-2017 64 points65 points  (8 children)

You don't carry pocket sand? What the hell?

[–]noxnoctus 34 points35 points  (2 children)

[–]unclefisty 11 points12 points  (3 children)

It's like you've never heard of a tempered glass screen protector.

The one on my wife's S5 save the screen from being shattered when my 3 yr old daughter slammed her feet into the screen. Cost less than $5

[–]natethomas 22 points23 points  (12 children)

There was a reason Jobs required glass on the first iPhone instead of plastic. It doesn't get all scratched up and crappy. Film is for suckers.

[–]IdRatherBeTweeting 25 points26 points  (7 children)

Apparently you haven't heard of the screen protectors made of thin glass.

[–]MyManD 21 points22 points  (6 children)

It really surprises me how many of the screen protector haters have never even tried glass protectors. They're smoother then Apple's crap oleophobic coating, don't smudge nearly as bad, and are just as scratch resistant. My fingers feel like they're gliding through butter compared to my protectorless iPhone 5 I relegated to music player duties.

And you can get a 2 pack off Amazon for 6 bucks.

[–]yolo-swaggot 8 points9 points  (4 children)

What can I say, I just like to bareback my phone. Nothing better than rawdogging a fresh mobile computing device. Sometimes I like to do it, knowing my fingers aren't clean.

Me neither. I didn't get a nice, slim, lightweight phone just to stick in big chunk of cheap plastic and rubber. It's the same weird logic as sofa protectors. You buy a really nice looking, comfortable couch...so why don't you cover it in a big plastic sheet so it's no longer attractive or comfortable? Genius!

My dad has a Mac OS X jacket that he got from Steve Jobs at the conference/reveal of Mac OS X. He would dress up in it and go to the Apple store to be idolized by some of the employees. One time, he even let someone try it on. We humans are so strange.

True story...

Waaaaaay back in 2001 when Apple first started Retail, I worked there. I opened the very first stores. This was back in the day when a new store opening made the news and there'd be huge crowds waiting outside to get in and see what it was all about.

One of my co-workers was a dead ringer for Steve Jobs from about 15+ feet away. So, of course, on opening day, he'd throw on his jeans and black turtleneck and go about his business of getting ready. However, we wouldn't let him do anything that would get him close enough to the front of the store so that people could then tell that it wasn't actually Steve.

As the store got closer to opening time. He'd wonder around the back, checking little details, doing the Steve Jobs "fingertips to fingertips" gesture and look pensive.

People outside absolutely LOST. THEIR. SHIT.

As the doors opened, he'd go out back, throw on his Retail t-shirt and whip the fake glasses off and then join us out front to greet everyone. We all made like Steve was just making sure everything was cool before he had to wing back to Cupertino.

[–]ratpH1nk 32 points33 points  (12 children)

Remember the red "Genius phones"? I spent part of my time at Apple on the other end of these phones.... good times.

[–]vbfronkis 45 points46 points  (9 children)

Sure do. I actually never ended up using it, but it was an awesome prop. Really made people feel like they'd get their question answered if we didn't know. (We always did.)

I loved that period of time. The Genius Bar really had its own personality depending upon who staffed it. We had no queues. You'd rock up with your 50 pound CRT-based G3 iMac and have all kinds of extension conflicts. We'd split-half troubleshoot your problem and figure out that it was your Iomega Zip drive extension that was causing the problem, update it, and then send you on your way without even charging you anything. Or worse, your directory structure had wild B-Tree issues and we'd use Norton to get your system to boot again. Still wouldn't charge you anything. If it was really bad we'd pull out DiskWarrior and pray to the gods for data forgiveness. Wouldn't charge you for that either.

Meanwhile there were 15 other people at the bar, 3 deep, and you're mentally triaging them all and figuring out who would be quick and who would be there awhile. You're handling all of this BY YOURSELF so that your buddy can churn through the 20 repairs out back that you have to get through TODAY. Did I mention we'd be fighting with Vantive the whole time?

It was a scene out of Cocktail and I was a nerdy yet personable Tom Cruise keeping everyone happy and entertained.

I loved it.

Is your store doing airpod demos? I'd heard some stores had the demo units but were told not to start the demos yet.

[–]Seany_B[S] 669 points670 points  (33 children)

No, I just cut the cords off regular EarPods for the costume.

[–]those2badguys 32 points33 points  (8 children)

how do you do airpod demos? That sounds disgusting, like having Dicks Sporting Goods demo the latest mouth-guard or something.

[–]_Clever_Name_Here_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's simple: you just slide it inside your mouth and... wait. No. No, I thought we were talking about something else.

[–]RudegarWithFunnyHat 181 points182 points  (6 children)

wonder if steve would have gotten an apple watch, and if it's health features would nag him about getting the cancer treated with non fruit related medicine.

Steve would be so pissed at apple right now. The roguish spirit he embodied for his company is all but gone. I like apple, in general they deliver the product they advertise with a high degree of customer service and support. But they are definitely playing it safe.

I don't know if I blame Tim Cook, it's probably the smartest course of action for him, I mean under his leadership apple is making tons of money. But I'm seeing a lot of stagnation and reliance on brand power over actually trying to advance their product categories.

If anything I think it might be partially due to an over-reliance on Jony Ive, I've read numerous reports that he is the only person at apple who can go unchallenged at this point. And in earlier interviews he said steve was valuable because he would say "no" and without anyone to keep ideas focused and in check apple is providing more and more iterations on the same categories with no real advancement. I really don't think they'll see industry redefining product categories again until they get a new lead designer with a new design ethos in there.

Like I said, I'm a fan of apple but being a fan means you gotta call out the thing you support when they deviate from what you liked them for in the first place. And I respect Ive immensely, he's one of the most ubiquitous and defining industrial designers out there and what he's done can not be understated, I just think eventually everything needs to be changed and rethought at some point and maybe the Jony Ive era might be over.

Sorry this really should be about the costume, nice work! I just really can't pass up the chance to rant on the internet.

[–]nairdaleo 92 points93 points  (7 children)

Yup, things have gone from: "well... nothing new, but it still looks really good" to "WTF are they thinking"

Even the AppleByte guy at CNET said: "there's been times when we are not in the market for a new laptop and Apple comes up with something we just have to have. This is not one of those times"

[–]djtemporary 25 points26 points  (11 children)

Did you see Microsoft is now becoming Apple: Microsoft surface and dial

I mean, this invoked all the old feeling Apple used to give us when it was groundbreaking. That dial thing is magic, now if it works as advertised, that's just amazing. That's what people want, something we didn't know we needed that we want. If I was working heavily on a computer all day and just out of college, I'd be in line.

[–]Lemon_Invader 6 points7 points  (1 child)

It's even got the Apple price! $3,000 starting price, and I want it, but cannot justify buying it.

You should have brought a fish tank with you and started dropping iphones into them. I hope you at least stayed in character and parked in only handicapped spots all day.
