T-Mobile CEO John Legere on bendgate: ‘That’s such horseshit’
“Sometimes, you need to curse to make your point,” Chris Matyszczyk reports for CNET. “In the case of T-Mobile CEO John Legere, a curseless statement is rarer than a polar bear in Silicon Valley.”
“It’s heartening, then, that he dedicated the full force of his lexicon to the phenomenon known as Bendgate,” Matyszczyk reports. “Speaking at the GeekWire Summit, Legere offered [starts at 20:16 in video below] this considered view, shortly after sitting on his iPhone 6 Plus: ‘That is such horses***. I mean, come on, what the f*** did you need to see?'”
Matyszczyk reports, “Warming to his theme and mock-bending his phone, he said: ‘The video of the guy that’s doing this — and if you could have seen his face, he probably would have been purple… Are you s***ting me? I mean, when was the last time you took any other…this is an amazing supercomputer in your hand… His conclusion: ‘This thing doesn’t f***ing bend.'”
MacDailyNews Take: Thermonuclear.Congratulations to T-Mobile CEO John Legere for telling it like it is.
Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt – FUD – is the last recourse from scared rivals facing decimation who have nothing else to offer. It is a feeble, doomed attempt to stave off the inevitable.
Have a warm and toasty holiday season and beyond, iPhone roadkill!
