I mean... It has the new thing... Seems pretty important to me, and if you still have the first stuff you're a bad person

I just met someone who had the same phone for 8 years and I was so impressed. Mine never lasts that long…

My phones are averaging a lifespan of 18 months. Not because I treat them badly, but I have the horrible luck of dropping a weight on thrm at the gym... twice now

I think dropping weights on them counts as "treating them badly", but I'm no expert.

Well we’ve not come this far by listening to experts, silly.

I heard some phones enjoy it. Whether it's true or not, I couldn't say.

Well as I said, in both cases it was an unfortunate accident haha. I know how I treat my stuff, and badly isn't it!

are we talking full bars or just plates?

Dumbells of all things. Both, badly placed as I set it down. In one case, tipped over onto the bottom of my phone. The second, rolled across the floor onto the edge of the phone, destroying the hinge. Suuuuper miffed, now keep phones at least 2m from anything heavy that moves (yes, I had the same thought lol)

Where do you live that people give out plates of candy for Halloween?
