wouldnt be the safest thing to carry in your pocket, plus it would be easy to break the panel, would take forever to charge and, the battery wouldnt probably last very long

 

Wrong, first off, let me take apart your statement, how would they be dangerous to carry in your pocket? It isn't like they emit radiation of anything, solar panels are incredibly safe... Also, it isn't like these panels are wafers, they could just add a sheet of glass on top of it if need be anyways, not exactly easy to break unless you drop it, and if that happens, your fault! I agree it would take forever to charge though, but how would the battery not last very long? It would be the same as todays batteries, where did you get this "battery wouldn't last very long" idea from?

 

The reason why they aren't used on phones is because the conversion rate of the light to power is incredibly inefficient. I think the standard today is like...20% conversion rate? I wouldn't be surprised if they used much lower quality panels on a phone too. There is also the fact that the small size would make all them generally useless.

All I know is that most people that hate on the iphone

 

either cant afford

their parents cant afford it

they cant afford to change provider

their parents cant afford to change provider

they live in the middle of the forest where atnt has bad service

their parents bought them a shitty other smart phone and now they are stuck with it cause they were already on another provider

they bought another shitty smart phone cause they couldnt wait for their contract to expire with other provider or didnt think it was worth it...

 

very few really have an argument to hate it...

this lives little room for the apple haters that truly hate rather than hate just because they fall in one of the categories mentioned above

 

especially the first 4

So everyone who dislikes something for valid reasons is a poor hater? Many people who dislike the iPhone actually own other smart phones that they like better than the iPhone. I highly doubt labeling everyone who doesn't like the iPhone someone who's just jealous because they can't afford one is a valid argument.

^ doesn't know I have a phone that costs 10x less and does more. Price has no affect on quality, or the number of features.

Gross comic related.

 

"Can't afford" is a shit-tier argument. It's not about being able to afford or not, but about being willing to pay more for less. It has been proven several times over and over again that competitors make better smartphones that perform better and yet cost less. So why would any sane person pay more for something that gives you less?

You are the reason everyone hates damn ignorant iphone/apple fanboys, jesus you make me want to chop my sack off you are so wrong.

 

Yeah, but don't be assured that this will happen once it actually contains real hardware in it.

 

And a reputable news company should test it as well.

 

Uh, pcworld is a reputable news company >_>. I mean, if it had the circuit board and such inside, that would in fact make it HEAVIER and more likely to crack...
