Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, I bought an otter box. While setting up my iPhone, I dropped it and it is now shattered. FML
Bring headphone jacks back on all smartphones!
Today, I bought new earphones for my phone so I could finally listen to music again. Not an hour later I broke it. FML
Today, I realized the $40 iPhone case I bought to keep my new phone from getting scratched, scratched my iPhone. FML
Today, after calling the insurance plan for my new iPhone a "huge waste of money", I promptly dropped it in the store while trying to put it into my pocket, cracking the screen. FML
Today, I realized that with all the money I've spent on repairs for my iPhone through the months, I could have bought a phone that doesn't die horribly whenever I so much as give it a mean look. FML
Today, I threw my brand new iPhone 4 in the air whilst laying on my bed. It came down, went through my fingers, landed on my balls, then broke on the concrete floor. FML

Today, I dropped my phone. I'd only just bought this new phone last night. It barely survived 12 hours. FML
Today, my history teacher confiscated my iPhone. She dropped it on the way back to her desk, and I now have a shattered iPhone screen to fix. FML
Today, I bought my girlfriend an iPhone. I preloaded it with a bunch of cool apps and stuff and spent a lot and money. She used it to send a text to me 3 hours later saying that she thought we should break up. FML
Today, I dropped my 400 dollar iphone, that's been through toilets and 6 foot falls, on a walmart floor and shattered the screen. I managed, however, to catch the 2 dollar macaroni and cheese before it hit the ground. FML

even if you don't buy one it should naturally come with a 30-90 day warranty but it still sucks breaking it on the first day

I had a one year warranty on my iPhone, it comes with it when you get the phone. Don't worry OP it's all good.

Unfortunately warranty doesn't cover physical damage...only manufactures defects.

118- My younger brother dropped his and all of a sudden it stopped turning on, and had a huge crack on the screen. We sent it in and got a new one free of charge.

All apple products come with a one year warranty. That does not cover accidental or water damage. Just manufacturable defects and software. If you buy apple care plus which is now on the iPhone and iPad it covers two accidentals within two years at a 50$ deductible to get a new one.
_streets_ 19
I have probably gotten around 7 new iPhones from apple all for free, and most of the time it was because I had dropped my phone. The warranty still covered it. Or maybe I was just really convincing?
Nyx3ni6m4 5
7? rly?..is that a number you want to tell people? Sorry but it seems like most people telling stories about broken iPhones dont know how robust they are, I had mine in situations where I thought for sure the screen should have cracked...still looks like new:) and Well I've had a version og the iphone for about 5-6 years, The only one I ever broke was the 3GS and it had survived falling in a pile of snow, submersion, and battering(combat training and afganistan tour)..finally a steel table leg took out The screen, but by then it was time for the 4s so preordered that.
JoshTheMaggot 8
I got one recently and they have a year manufacturers warranty meaning if something is wrong with it like the software. You can buy a 2 year warranty and they will replace your phone no matter what. But apple are really great when it comes to customer service and seem to make exceptions
ladyLALAA 29
I pay $10 AUS for insurance, it only covers mechanical faults. It has cost me $150 to get the screen fixed each time I smashed it.
newmandotcom 6
Or maybe you're a female? I had an iPhone that wouldn't turn on at all brand new out of the box, and even after charging, when I pulled it off the charger it died. They STILL tried to charge me full price for a new phone

iPhone sucks. Get a Samsung or something.
mk58 31
Honey, there's a reason so many people line up in the Apple store to get the newest iGadget that comes out. Apple products are awesome (except for autocorrect... sometimes).

Tell me about it. You have to jailbreak it for anything good. Believe me, I know.

Apple is currently worth more than Greece. Literally. I'd say people like Apple products more than Samsungs.
Michael_92 20
@11 actually the iPhone isn't that amazing. Everytime I have to use one I can't help but feel I'm using a dumbed down you. Just my opinion tho
gantzlord 5
39 - what's a "you"?
Cad6 24
39 - I bet the iPhone is smarter than you are. Know why? Because auto-correct allows it to spell properly.

I must say, i own a Samsung and - pardon mon Francais - it is possibly the shittest phone i've ever had the displeasure to use.
ProfessionalTrol_fml 14
61- #3 was talking about something like Samsung galaxy, not the "shitty phone" that your using. Sorry that you can't afford a better phone
IOmnomHard 10
Am I the only one who thought #3's comment said 'get a sausage or something'? ...Yeah I probably am.

Cad6, this is semi off topic, but for a while Apple was worth more then the United States... By about a billion dollars (literally a billion dollars).
skoob1 12
Samsungs randomly shut off, and end calls, and occasionally work...
crackz12 10
Lol anyone who bad mouths the iPhone gets mad thumbs down. iPhones aren't that great relative to other phones on the market today. The fact that more people have them than other phones should be attributed to better marketing.
Unlucky_Gun 0
To everyone arguing about which phones are better, it's a matter of opinion. We can all like whatever phone we want. I have the iphone 3 and I love it
Tidus0 17
Actually apple is worth more than the US even if apple was worth 0.01cAUD (0.00961USD) cos the US is in trillions worth of debt. The last fork out Australia has given them is $200bnAUD
imparfit42 7
I'm sorry, but Samsung sucks. iPhones are not the best and there are elements of both that are beyond awesome.

I'm surprised noone has mentioned the blackberry. I have the curve 9360 and it's my baby ;)

iPhones have a really small screen, no me gusta small screen.

This flame war is getting a bit repetitive. Here, I'll start a new one: religion is evil, Obama is a terrorist, Islam, Hitler. Aaaand Xbox is better than ps3. That should start a pretty good argument. I'll get the popcorn.

ps3 is better, free online play

speaking as a Korean from Korea, the Samsung phones that are sold here in America are shit. The phones that are sold in Korea are so much better, and nicer. We get jipped here.
Michael_92 20
Whoh. I ticked off the iphone people fo sho. Sorry I have never had a problem with my phone. I rooted it and made a custom flavor of android for my personal liking. The only issue I ever had was sprint. So sorry to have ticked you all off because I have a different preference and like to customize my phone for my specific liking.

Most people here i want to say are on their iPhones. I'm currently using a Samsung phone and i have to say I'm having none of those problems you reported. I've used a iPhone for about four years and Android Samsung phones for about three and iPhones aren't bad at all but feature wise, iPhones are lacking.
Almighty_Chris97 6
And what features would you say the iPhone is lacking?

Your wrong bud
bluebell707 13
so true. iPhone sucks, you can't have your own ringtone when you have iTunes, shitty Bluetooth and most unable to send pic mesaging. also battery life is crap, imo
darkestbarbie 11
I have an iPhone and I have my own ringtone. I send pic messages all the time. And I haven't charged my phone in days and I'm only just now at half battery.

232 - I had an iPhone for almost two years and I thought it was good too. Until I tried Android. iPhone really do suck compared to Android. I kinda enjoy this war between people with good taste and the Apple nerds. Or iNerds or what you call yourselves.
Sliim_Shaady 6
The amount of dislike on this thread is incredible...
yahoowizard 16
Well 210, my phone does a lot more customization, it has NFC, a much bigger and better looking screen(let's be honest, retina display isn't thaaaat big a difference), better processor and camera and all that stuff, a real upgrade from the last phone, thinner lighter and more durable with Gorilla Glass and a hard shell, and currently 200 dollars cheaper than the iPhone. IPhones not really bad or anything, but when it comes down to it...
lilpowers 3
When I got an iPod I had to pay for music I already had! Apple might be successful but I'll always prefer windows. Why? Because windows is compatible with anything. Apple is compatible with Mac and apple. Nothing else. To that I say PIECE OF SH!T!!!!

How did u break it

It's not a nokia iPhones are the opposite of nokia
GoW_Chick 15
I do have a theory on the subject... OP was skipping down the street whistling a happy tune with new phone in hand. Suddenly while crossing the street OP dropped their phone as a car came into view barreling closer and closer, OP had to make a quick decision whether or not too risk their life to save the wonderous iPhone, but just as they were about to leap in harms way a heroic stranger grabbed OP and pulled them to safety. There was fire, explosions and the sound of steal to pavement as the car crashed into oncoming traffic and finally dropped into the river and quickly became submerged with water. "Oh no! This is horrible" said OP, "I don't see my amazing new iPhone anywhere!" OP wept and sniffled when she saw a gleam of light, could it be? Yes it was her -super awesome overpriced- smart phone! "Hooray!" OP belted out. ~later that night OP went to use their glorious new iPhone only to drop it in the toilet, OP "$&@%!"
MikeDa1Da 14
Come on! 57's comment was clever! Those old Nokias are indestructible, but if you even drop your iPhone, the entire screen shatters.
chili10 18
What pisses me off is that it is made out of glass. Not only do you have to protect the front screen, but the back can crack too. It's bullshit. I got the back of mine replaced with metal.
KawiRacer69 5
@83, hmmm... nice story
bellaw 2
I've dropped my iPhone several times. It's all about having a case on it. Of course if it's glass then it's going to break easy, so you get a case.

Yeah there must've been a reason that you didn't have a phone before...

Don't turn your nose up at my picture...
MR_RODSQUAD 11
Did you think about getting a case for it?
DinosaursAreCool_fml 8
The case was probably the reason why it broke. Some of them are hard as **** to get off.

Yeah siriously guys get a case. Not like icare but be smart about it

Doesn't always break from fall damage.

Yes. It's called iTakeCareOfAPhoneWithoutBreakingItOnTheFirstFuckingDay. However, it's too late considering he already broke the damn thing. Oh well.
