By He. I do Not mean any1 in particular… Rather: Helium

Twitter art. says a lot of iPhones (but Not Android devices)
may Die. In the presence of enough He. A medical system
that used He to cool itself, leaked some He, & nearby iPhones
died.

Issue: Apple pivoted chip technologies (in favor of cheaper?)
and - when they changed the clock chips over to this new
type, the effect began to show up.

So, if you're ever in an Industrial chemical incident or other
He spill, do Not rely on your iPhone to enable you to call
for help.

"You mean I waited outside the Apple Store for 12 hours
for this puppy, and it's unreliable?!?"

That's what I read.

  I do that with Trump, for very different reasons.
  (One difference: I try to share useful info.)

The “some’ he, was 120 litres, plus after a period the phones return to normal.

  Thanks for the news, that it's not permanent
  
  (The question becomes: How soon after
  the He leaves does it begin to work?)
  
  Ignore my thot, that spies & criminals
  could clear their iPhones eg at border
  crossings, etc.
  
  Still… Why wouldn't Apple return to
  their earlier chip type, that doesn't
  go out to lunch…? …at least for the
  critical Clock chip.
  
  Save 1 cent / iPhone, across
  a big # of sales = a huge # of $$
  
  Profit
  
  Customer convenience be damned!
  
  This "Apple attitude" (& the unduly
  High price increases, with ea model
  it releases) explains why Samsung
  outsells 'em.
  
  (Did I read: even Wawei (sp?) outsells
  Apple in Asia… or was it XiaoMi…?)

    Stop being so paranoid and biased, the chip they used isn’t cheaper, it’s just better. And most of us use helium for better things. Rather than waste it. Also it’s not really great for the planet….
    
    The Apple Android war mongers have generally moved on. Each to their own and more power to each. There are more interesting things in life rather than trying to convert the faith of another
    
    What about another survey question.
    
    The poster wants validation for their Android phone.

  This IS spam, silly.
  
  A very subtle spam, that promotes
  smart purchasing (of non-Apple products).
  
  Under the influence… Not only of others'
  advertising… But also… My evil Spam.
  
  Gotcha'. ;~)

    I mean you've posted/written slightly better spam/songs before.

I would have thought the chance of a slightly bent ipad that "isn't a defect" would be more of an issue than whether your iPhone works during an emergency caused by a helium accident. Obviously everyone would need to be hospitalised after such a catastrophe or they would risk dying of laughter so it's a very serious defect but still - slightly bent?!

  So, make Free calls on iPads, via, eg, Skype or any number of VoIP app's
  (which - unlike Skype - may Not be free to install or use… Pick 1s that are)
  
  (You'd know Skype calls can be Free, if we use the person's Skype name;
  why we pay for calls - especially to overseas numbers - is puzzling to me)
  
  Eg: Just get a Whirlpool plan with MyNetFone, etc. (Pay only for calls)
  
  It can be better (eg, Free calls) with MyNetFone: ring their 09… Numbers,
  not their phone #'s.
  
  Zello lets you get help from [local friends], if you all share a Channel or
  are on each other's Comtact list.
  
  ('dunno if Zello has a loud ringing sound to imitate calls… any1 know?)

It's a cut and paste. You can tell by the dodgy formatting.

I washed my car yesterday afternoon, came up pretty well. I was expecting to see a lot more new scratches with the increase of car park dings lately but it was alright.

Huh? Do I need to engage in heavy psychedelic drug usage in order to make sense of this?
