Apple really is shit

Have a parent or legal guardian handle your phone for you from now on. Clearly you lack the cognitive faculties to do it yourself.

Why is Apple shit, you just described that you, infact are shit

>>56521788
I'm 22. Explain how to bypass SIM activation if you're so smart. Also no, I'm not leaving my fresh plate of tenders to go to a Verizon store. Fuck you.

Because without a small piece of plastic you get a brick.

I'm not your fucking tech support. You're obviously a moron though.

If you wanted an ipod you should of bought an ipod you dumbfuck.

and the phone breaking is completely your fault.

>>56521869

Well you purchased a PHONE you goddamn retard, it obviously needs e SIM to activate it. If you wanted an IPOD you should have researched the differences between both things before.

>>56521915
>I'm not your fucking tech support.
Just admit you don't even know what we're talking about.

>>56521920
>If you wanted an ipod you should of bought an ipod
I was thinking about using it as my main phone if I liked it. An iPod would be an even bigger waste of money, since I don't carry around an extra music player like a filthy NEET.
>and the phone breaking is completely your fault.
I had an iPod touch first gen and it never had this problem.

>>56521927
>obviously needs a SIM
So tell me why my Nexus phone allows me to skip this and go to the home screen.
>If you wanted an IPOD you should have researched the differences between both things before.
See above.

>>56522003

See? You have a phone after all. Use your Nexus as an iPOd then you illiterate dumbass. You probably don't even understand the difference anyway.

>>56522082
>You have a phone after all
If I didn't have a phone then why the fuck would I buy the SE as a potential replacement?
>You probably don't even understand the difference anyway.
I do use my Nexus for music. I bought this brick to try out iOS. An iPod is the same fucking thing without cellular capabilities, which would make it a total waste even I did like iOS. How dumb are you?

>>56521737
Calm down fellow. Just try again, because... It just werks!

>>56523016
I tried rebooting about 6 times. It does not just work.

> breaks his iPhone
> blames Apple

>>56523144
I've done similar things to all other devices I've owned and the worst I got was one or two cracks, not a spiderweb of them. Yes, I am blaming Apple for creating a device this fragile.

Is OP memeing or do applels seriously not even work as media devices out of the box without sims?

>>56521737
Nigga the iPhone SE is literally the best iPhone
Also iPhone's need to be babied, that's part of the experience, why would you throw it to the floor?
>>56523425
He bought a carrier locked one, Applel gets cucked like this by carriers instead of getting their updates cucked
Unlocked iPhones can work without SIM's

Jesus OP it's really not difficult. You can use ANY SIM to activate the phone. Borrow one from your neighbor for two seconds, activate, remove. Not that difficult. Christ.

who the fuck buys a god damn phone just to 'try it out' without a fucking cell connection? just go to the store and mess with it you fucking tool.

its not like this story is real, but naturally you could post a timestamped picture to prove me wrong

So I should expect my phones to be bricked if I buy them in anticipation for use with a specific carrier? Why?

>>56523425
Not a meme. I can't get through the setup without a valid SIM. I'm pissed. Fuck Apple.

I bought it to try the OS which is difficult to do when I'm locked out of my device I legitimately purchased. Cell service probably works just as good as a $20 flip phone. Oh, and see pic related. I'm not bullshitting.

>>56521927
No Android phone I've ever used has required a SIM to use as a tablet.

Requiring a SIM even to get to home screen is some serious bullshit.

But am I wrong? If so, explain why.

>>56523497
Any iPhone will work without a SIM.

Activating an iPhone after a full iOS restore or after taking it out of the box though requires a SIM card to be present be it a locked iPhone or unlocked.

OP does have a point here, you don't need a SIM card to get to the homescreen of your android phone when taking it out of the box. On iOS though the same does not apply.

Man look at all the Apple drones in this thread. I've had an HTC and a few Samsungs and being an Electrician they see some hard use, never had a screen break. Every single tradesman I've met that's had an Applel seems have broken their screens at least once.

Admit it, Apple make shit devices.

>>56524171
No, you're not wrong about apple locking things down.
Other than that, especially the dropping part is your fault.
Glass breaks. It's a physical law.

>>56524224
Not blaming Apple for the drop, but rather the paper thin glass. Not even Samshits shatter this bad.

Apple is overpriced trash and the company tries to buttfuck you out of EVEN MORE MONEY with all their ridiculous proprietary hardware and services to the extent that they shut down independent repair shops.

There is literally no reason not to own an Android and I predict Apple becoming a small player in a few years.

>>56524500

Wait, when? I thought they boosted their business with touch disease...
>no reason not to own an Android
I do own one. I use a Nexus 5.

Apple devices are notoriously fragile. Everyone I know with an iPhone has shattered their screen at one time or another.

You can use any sim card on a verizon iphone. You do have a sim don't you anon?

>>56524901
Also to explain this point all verizon iphones that take sim cards are unlocked. This is fact.

>>56524901
The one in my Nexus 5 is not the same size. I might sound retarded but I'm just mildly autistic. I'm not tech illiterate. Also no, a Verizon phone will not take any SIM card.

>>56524772
>>56524843
Okay maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but I've dropped my phone numerous times onto hard pavement/tiles (without a case or screen protector) and nothing happened

>>56524919
Incorrect.

>>56524932
Yes it will just try it OP. I work at a phone store. All Verizon iPhones are unlocked.

Even if you are all right, it doesn't matter. I bought the device because I have Verizon. My current SIM will not fit.

>>56525082
Well in such a case just buy a cheap simple mobile sim on ebay or something for .99 cents or so. Sure it sucks but it'll let you use it.

>>56525103
Why? I'll get one for free on Monday.

>>56521869
Gee I don't know maybe insert the fucking SIM

>>56521737
>mfw all iPhones in the US ship with SIM cards in them

OP is fucking retarded and needs to activate his phone unless he bought it used or some shit in which he needs to get out of his basement and go get a nano sim from verizon. Use google faggot before you go on a autistic rage and break more devices because you can't use a phone designed to be used by baby boomers.

>>56521737
Be the running man's sysadmin, my man.

So just look up musicians who do tours around the world with tech stuff and offer your services. For example there is Peter Tägtren who is an excellent metal musicians and he uses a lot of stuff that needa to be programmed and managed. He usually accepts job "wishes" cause he knows shit about cumputaarhs(he told it kek) and also do the other artists.

This way you can establish lot of contacts so you will be recommended on the market.

>>56521869
>I'm 22. Explain how to bypass SIM activation if you're so smart. Also no, I'm not leaving my fresh plate of tenders to go to a Verizon store. Fuck you.

You need a SIM, that's how phones work, it's part of the activation process.

>>56523986

You should've asked for a Verizon SIM card when you bought it from Apple, they give them away for free for fucks sake.

>>56524843
>I don't like that faggot but he still has the right to free speech.

The right to free speech is protected under the First Amendment from interference from the US Government, not private companies.

This guy uploaded a company's proprietary and private information without their permission. It's essentially equivalent to corporate espionage.

I feel for you op. No clue why they dont use gorilla glass but i have never seen an iphone without broken glass except my work phone in a fully sealed 100 dollar otterbox case.

Im not inpressed at all with ios.

Currently have the g5

>>56526946

They do.
They just don't make a song and dance about it.

>>56526962
Interesting. I had the g3 which had gorilla glass before i got this phobe and dropped it in concrete from like 3 ft before my case came in from amazon and it didnt break. Maybe the metal is shittier on iphones or fluke?

Either way

the problem here is that OP is retarded.

KEEEEEEEK

>>56521737
This is a carrier problem

>>56526565
Stop ignoring the fact any smartphone other than ipiss does not require a sim at any point

OP has a point, retards. You can't continue with the iPhone setup process unless it has a SIM that it can use. I don't know about whether it already comes with a SIM or not, but not wanting to have to make a purchase another time just to be able to set your phone up is retarded when Android can do it without any difficulties.

>this is neo-/g/

Why? With cellular network off you can do everything beside calls/texts.
You're not dumb enough to buy a $700 toy just for texts and calls, are you?
There is no reason to block the phone if you don't have a sim.

This is clearly bait. Buys Verizon because he uses that carrier but can't swap sim from existing phone for initial software setup process. So hard to move a sim from 1 phone to another.

I'm not going to risk cutting my fingers off and ruining my SIM. There's a reason why the don't pull out a knife and cutting board at the store. Said store is not open on weekends.

>>56532170
None of my Android phones needed one to complete setup.

>>56532170
Why would it? If you aren't placing calls and just using it as a wifi pocket PC, why on earth should it need a sim?

Quit justifying apples anti consumer decisions by pretending they are the norm.

>>56532199
>There's a reason why the don't pull out a knife and cutting board at the store.
The reason being that all of their SIM cards are "nano" SIMs sitting inside little adapters that you just break them out of.
Coincidentally, this is also why you can cut a larger SIM card down to fit in a nano slot. There are no electronic components outside of the contacts, everything past these is just plastic filler material to make it fit in larger slots.

If you're not too much of a fucking retard to be able to cut a straight line with a pair of scissors, you have the required skill and tools to cut a SIM card to fit a nano slot.

No, it is literally how SIM cards are built.
Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING outside of the contacts is just plastic with no function other than making the thing fit in larger slots.
You don't cut through the contacts, you don't break it. End of story.

You're wrong that all SIM cards are built the same. There are different types. All you need to do is Google it to see that I'm not as retarded as the whole thread thinks I am. My argument is valid and I'm not cutting up the SIM.
