One would hope that in the case of the iphone they took pains to make the port more durable, since they were changing it anyway. It does look like it might be pretty durable.

Last year, if i recall correctly, it was about mid-November when the unlocked phone went on sale.

Well that's stupid. It's not really an adapter if it doesn't, you know, adapt.

Thanks for this. What a speech. What an achievement. I can't even imagine what it was like to be in the shoes of a NASA engineer in the early 60's though. You want us to do WHAT?

I know there were rumors about that, but honestly I don't think there ever was a modification to the design. I think all the CDMA 4's had the same dead spot.

Yup, what you describe is basically the game version of the DVD vs. pirating argument (see standard picture above)

Fair enough, but pointless articles have a long and storied past on Gizmodo, I mean they have a review of a freakin cinderblock just a few articles down.

Did you just recommend fapping in the library?
