Transcript:
Goat: Where were you today, Rat?
Rat: Got the iPhone 6 Plus.
Goat: Oh, good. How's it working out?
Rat: Hang on. I got a call. Hello? I think I need bigger pockets.
Sounds like an iPhone. Delibrate problems that Apple “didn’t know about” which they’ll later admit they knew full well about only after selling millions in solutions to the “unknown” problem.
Which is better? A steel can or an aluminum one? As for the string, does monofilament work better or twine? Anything beyond that is just fluff. Why make these phones so difficult?
The people from the future present to you the iPhone 11 Pro Max. With it’s ginormous size compared to Rat’s iPhone 6+, you can consider those pesky species eradicated!
