“There’s been a blitz of new phones announced in the past few weeks, and I’ve heard a rumor that explains why: Apple has determined the month of September is when phone sales peak,” John C. Dvorak writes for PC Magazine. “Apparently this explains some of the peculiar roll-outs in advance of next month.”
“The way I see it, the more competitor phones that come out, the better off Apple becomes,” Dvorak writes. “The iPhone remains the only real prestige smartphone. Why go nuts with a million new models, à la Samsung, when your phone is still the only one people respect?”
Dvorak writes, “This brings me to a weird story my son told me that he has checked out and thinks is probably true. I can believe it… A friend of his claims that in the modern bar scene you will not get laid if you you have anything other than an iPhone. It’s an automatic deal killer if you pull out an HTC One or even a Galaxy S 4. An oversized Samsung Galaxy Note would be a deal breaker for certain.”

Here come the master baters.
My girlfriend has an iPhone and I have a Walmart special cheap-o-pay-as-you-go Android; that works just fine thanks all.
But here is the kicker, no joke but funny but true,
I get laid every night.
And no, she ain’t getting any benefits from her iPhone either. How stupid is this screwy article.
Not sayin the article isn’t dumb, but I think you missed one point. Girls you meet in the bar scene are ones you’re not sleeping with every night. See the difference?
Must be the first time dumber has had sex with anything other than his hand on a regular basis, so he felt the need announce it.
My guess is she’s going to switch all her devices to Apple, just give it time.
I know your girlfriend. Her name is Ms. Leftorright Hand.
Also known as Rosie DePalma.
It’s not the iPhone that gets you laid, it’s the 6 figure salary you used to buy the iPhone.
I’ve only seen two oversized android phones out in the wild. And they were being used by oversized owners, if you know what I mean. Maybe they thoight a huge phone would make them look smaller.
Use Android, stay a virgin (in a van down by the river.) The only thing Android attracts is tech losers.

the youth like their iPhone / cameras a lot.
Pull out your zune and play “I’m sexy and I know it”
I know I am seeing Monkey Boy Ballmer dancing to this only because I have never seen the Google CEO dance yet. The Samsung CEO may only do Karaoke to that song!
You better go to burning man out in the desert. The Mole wears pink clothes and tries to dance.
No the Samsung CEO would be dancing Gungnam Style…
Right said Fred “I’ m too sexy for my shirt” blasting from a Pinto while using a Samsung Galaxy Ace…
Neh. Might attract some flies though.
Dvorak should be fired for having so much testosteron on article. Apple is all about technology for God sakes.
I am going out on a limb here and say they have not been laid in a while.
I don’t think the fucking would be all that good if
it’s the brand of cell phone that closed the deal….
There’s a bad kind?
Well if your girl looks like Chewbacca or Jabba The Hut, yeah there is a bad kind. lol
so size doesn’t matter! 😉
Hey, 4 inches is nothing to sneeze at. Sure I wish it was a little bigger but it’s not like we’re talking 2 or 3 inches or anything. There’s no amount of “motion in the ocean” that can make being on a real small boat feel good.
A friend just asked me to connect her Android powered “iBSeek” mini tablet to my network….all she wants to do is connect to Facebook….this thing physically is an EXACT copy of an iPad but running Android…. Fromm 5 feet away it looked like a decent tablet … Closer inspection also revealed a pretty decent buil quality … Connected pretty simply but once the chrome browser was directed to Facebook things just got slow and sloppy… But…, it was cheap and for her needs I guess it was an ok gift from her son…. I am not sure Apple would want this customer… She will not BUY apps, videos or music…. Or connect to her files via a cloud service… She will take picture send them to face book and that is it…she will NEVER do more…..there is a market for those type people I am just not sure Apple wants them.
I don’t think Apple would mind having her as a customer, I think Apple believes everyone deserves quality hardware and software. Who doesn’t want her for a customer is Amazon they sell the fire at a loss banking on them buying apps, and media from amazon.
You are right there concerning Amazon …. But I know for a fact that price was the main determiner of the buying decision …. Apple has proven time and time again those individuals are not there target market.
“Their”, not “there.”
Dvorak is a true professional; at getting noticed.
Yup, people love to hate him.
I personally like the guy. He reminds me of a crotchety old man, but I often agree with his viewpoints.
I haven’t heard anything from Rob Enderle lately. He’s not being noticed since M$ quit paying him.
While crudely written and very low brow in approach, there may be some validity to the underlying premiss. I don’t think having an iPhone will get you laid as the article says, but I think having an iPhone shows a certain appreciation for good design and quality, much like a well tailored suit. This might make you more attractive but a slob with an iPhone is still a slob.
who would desire a woman who bases her choices for a mate on a goddamned telephone brand?
Who wouldn’t?
LOL
No different than cars. If you’re driving a rusty piece of garbage that stalls a lot, vs a nice fairly new car, which do you think she’d hop in faster?
I sent Minka Kelly an iPhone and am waiting for her to call me back so we can bonk.
I think she already has one of her own.
I don’t even want to think about what kind of girl gives a damn about what phone you have. I have an iPhone 5 and have no problems with the opposite sex, but never really gave it a thought.
The Galaxy Note- however- seems to be the exclusive province of middle aged men who like it for the large screen. Have not seen anyone below 55 carrying one of those things.
This won’t help Android/Samsuck fanboys. They are perfectly happy with just masturbating in the wee hours of the night on a daily basis. They don’t care for girls
If sleeping with somebody is based on what phone either you or your partner uses, there is already a problem. Cupertino, we have a problem!
