The technology is far from the total-upgrade you are pitching-especially when all your digital apparatuses have a jack, the analog convenience of pulling the plug from one to the next without the fiddling of Bluetooth menus. I’ve also had botched firmware upgrades & an app with trackers needed to installed just to get those updates, something analog didn’t deal with. I had used a pair of wireless earbuds for a year & I can’t tell you the number of calls I had to cancel early due to listening to music earlier & now not having enough charge. If I know you are going to moving up & down often, I opt for using my pocket DAP that can support two-way Bluetooth transmission + USB DAC so I can freely move around & unplug-but more often I just replug them into my phone or DAP when doing another task, then the plug IEMs back into my laptop or audio interface when I return. Wrapping up cables ‘correctly’ plus keeping them stored tightly in a container is a recipe for no tangles. Many IEMs & hearbuds come with a carrying case like a Bluetooth pair might (without fire hazard of batteries). There are ways to wrap cables so they don’t tangle. It took them TWO months to make that statement and try to get me to buy a new machine. They claimed that a moisture sensor went off so warranty (and recall) void. It was also an AirBNB and I woke upto my MBP on fire.Īpple held it for two months, then even though the machine was under recall for fire, refused to replace it telling me I had the option to buy a new machine at full price. (Oh and I had a MBP that was under recall for battery fires, CATCH fire in my bed when I was asleep. (Thats not a joke, that is really fn sad that people at Flextronics (who use to build a bunch of stuff for Lockheed as well) just killed themselves.) I just feel bad for all those kids in China who died at the assembly line to make these worthless products requiring suicide nets. What sucks is that I have called phone repair places what to do with them all, and they say they are all worthless. I think I have several more strewn about my tech graveyard. I think Ive gone through ~25 phones? I have a stack of several right here: - plus the one I took the pic with. (This was also when I was flying a lot to asia, and so many phones had lanyard brackets. I berated Jony Ive (I sent him an email) and told him that the lack of a lanyard bracket was BS. I dropped it and broke it because I hate cases, and the iphone is so damned slippery. I have dropped and broken so many fn iphones - once, I had just picked up a new phone and went to dinner where the restaraunt had concrete floors. Ive had every iPhone since launch upto the 8s+ For me, that scenario is less likely so I don’t bother with thick cases. An external case can provide some cushion to dissipate some of the impact energy to reduce the change of deformation. That is most of what I’ve experience so I put on a thin case for that. For face plants, just a tiny rock can focus the energy and crack a screen that might otherwise survive the fall.Įxternal cases provide protection from scratches and scrapes in low energy falls. Of course with sufficient height and impact, the structure cannot diffuse the energy enough to avoid severe deformation and breakage. That means that in 8 out of 10 basic fall scenarios the phone has a good chance of surviving. Falls on the back or face tend to shatter the glass. Falls on the corners or edges tend to just scratch the case. The phones are designed to distribute the forces and survive most falls, but there are ways that the phone can fall where it is very hard to prevent damage.
