damn, my mobiles gone and packed in, I wouldnt mind but its only 14 years old, stuff just isnt built to last these days. so with bad grace I ordered one of these fangled iphone things, ordered in matt black, I get a message from the seller asking if they can send me a rose gold one. so I look up rose gold and discover its the most vile shade of pink, its like a 70's school corridor, reply to seller no, send me a black one please

I still remember my old Nokia 3330. You could change the covers (and battery).

well they were determined to send me something pink but I'm not complaining as I needed a new charging lead anyway and I didnt know they chucked one in as a freebie with the phone. just got to transfer all my numbers now and learn how to use the damn thing...

It’s an iPhone 7 I think. Chose that because it’s a similar operating system to my ipad

I have, as does CNN my daughter and Wifey and all of us have iPads- great technology and great support package and I am a fan BUT agree with the points made - we have a box of old devices due to Apple no longer supporting them and newer apps won’t run on them

Just as a total aside...the IPhone I have now is the only phone I have smashed up by dropping it not once but at least ten times...but it still works. Had it two years now and from what I recall it is bigger than the previous two....never dropped any of those. Clearly cannot handle the size of this brick.
Anyway, as you were.

yep dropped my original ipad mini, it landed on some rather unforgiving stone flags, still works though even with the bust screen. the gel/rubber covers are great, thanks again john

daft thing to do with your iphone got to KFC on friday night and realised I didnt have my wallet (just after ordering at the drive through) and realised I'd left it in my pants along with my phone and they were now merrily going round in the washing machine at home. oops! so when I got back I looked at the washer and it was just starting its final rinse, so I figured I might as well let it get on with it. when it finally finished I fished my phone out and amazingly it was still on and all seems to be working ok, I never knew they were that waterproof probably clean it with a cloth in future though

I dropped my first one down the bog circa 2010 and that also survived. God knows how.
