I've recently adopted one of Xylia's cast off iPhones. She has to have the latest one, of course, and I get the old ones. I'm not a mobile phone person, but it's useful to stick in the Land Rover with a PAYG sim in it in case I need to get the AA out. This one has ambitions to be more, clearly. It displays rather stentorian messages saying 'TIME SENSITVE Phone left behind' and 'This iPhone is no longer detected near you'. It seems to think it belongs on my person at all times. How very presumptous. Why would I want to live under the perpetual gaze of Apple and Vodafone?

I remember many years ago there was a talking doll called 'Chatty Cathy' who produced various phrases when her string was pulled and allowed to rewind. One of these was 'Take me with you'. Coming from a doll, it was rather cute, and it was only clockwork anyway, and designed to entertain three year old girls. But with something as smart as an iPhone it all seems rather sinister.
 
My mate is buying my orange disco, he wants to pay it up so yes I do car finance but it doesnt leave my property until its paid.
His misses tried to get me to let him take it away once the gearbox has been repaired & pay it up. Oh dear how stupid do you

Totally with you.
 
There's been a big accident in the street outside. Yes, I was one of those ghoulish people who went out and took a picture. But I did have a good check to make sure there was no one hurt first, so it wasn't in the poorest of taste.

It's hit the wall, but something's dented the roof in and broken the windscreen. There was another car standing in the road which was dented down one side, but it's hard to work out what's happened. Note the trousers worn with the waistband beneath the buttocks. That's still the height of fashion here. In the rest of the world everybody else pulled theirs up over a decade ago, including the gangsta rappers.

Despite its rather intrusive demands to be by my side, the iPhone is capable of taking very good pictures in the dark.
