The original could withstand a nuclear bomb at close range, and had a battery life longer than some stars. This thing is just a fairly bog-standard generic phone with a famous name tacked onto it.
It might be as durable as the old one. It does say in the article it has a long battery life.
I'm in two minds about the phone.
On the one hand I do fucking hate iphones sometimes, they're fragile and things just seem to go wrong with mine all the time, I've fixed some of the things but still, they're not ideal. This phone if it is durable and has a long battery life might have its uses along with the novelty of nostalgia.
On the other hand all they're doing is releasing a crap phone and using the gimmic of nostalgia to sell it. As you said, they're just putting the snake game on and putting a name on it. You can probably just buy a different crap phone for cheaper.
I remember repeatedly throwing my old nokia against a brick wall when I didn't need it anymore to test the durability and it is strong. With an iphone everyone knows you just need to drop it by accident.
pretty sure my conclusion is, fuck this phone.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
