What?? Seriously?

Stupid fanboy muggers, lulz

First.... happy no one was seriously hurt

Three people robbed in New York city (wow crime rates must be coming down) is news worthy because the word Iphone is mentioned ?

How much money does this site generate from the mentioning the words Apple or Iphone ?

The Iphone is a good all around device, when its in your hand it feels important, has a good feel/weight, honestly u cant blame them their like bars of gold

 

[kristoffe]

Thieves aren't the brightest people in the world, this just proves it. Although, I wouldn't want a BB either.

It feels important? It FEELS like a phone, nothing more, no phone will ever feel important unless it controls the fate of the universe.

I really enjoy these tech-related stories that make sure I don't forget how superior iPhones are to Androids.

Tom's, if you guys are looking for a story for next week, my friend dropped her iPhone in the toilet. I bet I could get you an interview.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[cmartin011]

yeah they can have that iphone ill stick to my beautiful 4.5 super amoled + android crapper haha

 

[intel4eva]

Didn't I read this story almost 2 weeks ago? Toms news feed has always been a few days late, but this is ridiculous.

 

[zulutech]

The muggers are clearly idiots, along with all the people who are focusing their time and energy on publicizing as opposed to catching the crooks. Honestly, how hard is to catch 2 android discriminate bozos?

Who cares? This article seems to be intended a propaganda for iCrap, as if there weren't enough in the media already. I wish Tom's Hardware would spend time on more interesting coverage--not nonsense about how thieves,derelicts, and social-rejects want iPhones.

The bottom line is that the iPhone is not suitable for technologically literate people; people who give up their freedom to use it deserve what they get. I will never ever want an iPhone or an Apple product, even if they were selling for a fraction of the cost. No need to elaborate and try to push the iPhone because of who uses it. It is completely clear that the media is trying to push Apple's junk by carrying such articles, likely a consequence of owning Apple's stock and trying to keep it rising as more and more moronic people are cowed into purchasing Apple products.

I can't believe this made the news. Muggers wanting iPhones?! Surely there has to be something more important going on in the world...

 

[kilo_17]

Well, they are criminals, but at least they have good taste when it comes to phones 😀

 

[rohitbaran]

It's insulting that they don't want my BlackBerry.

I am fine with insults like those. At least I would keep my phone!
