Someone recently commented about the iPhone ad below, “Apple sure likes picking goofy looking people for their ads.” As goofy as the ad is, flexing or posing in front of cameras is something almost everyone does. I’ve seen it in the gym, I’ve seen family members doing selfies by the thousands, and out in the general public people want that perfect pic. It’s just how things are now. Unless you’re my friend Zac who (at the time of this post) hasn’t ever taken one selfie. Dude, that’s an incredible streak! Check out the commercial then scroll down for a few more thoughts…
Editing photos is nothing new but the ability to do it with one touch is pretty incredible. I can’t verify the quality of the function because I don’t have an iPhone. Just like my buddy who doesn’t take selfies, I won’t ever have an iPhone. Nothing against them, they’re great phones. I guess a long time ago I decided iPhones are a popular trend and therefore I will never do it. Call me a contrarian. I like to stand out a little more, even if it’s just in my own goofy mind. So then, you might be wondering which phone I have? Take a guess and I’ll give you one hint… it folds.
This is my phone and I like it
Well, gee wiz my hint kind of gave it away, didn’t it? I’ve had the Flip 4 for a long time now and I’m almost due for an upgrade. I like the idea of disconnecting (which was part of the draw of the Flip 4 and its small outer screen). The Flip 6 has a giant outer screen which sort of defeats the purpose of ever folding the phone closed as a way to disconnect… but… I still would rather get that phone than the “goofy” iPhone.
