So I have a small dilemma. I really don't like or support Apple technology. I also am not a huge fan of smartphones and how they keep people from looking up at their surroundings for a second.
So, recently my mother emailed me asking me if I needed a phone. All she said was a phone, not a smartphone. I assumed she just meant and old phone of hers and maybe a cheap plan, so I agreed. Today the package comes in and it's an iPhone 5. Now, I'm not an ungrateful piece of shit. I'm really not. But I never wanted a smartphone and if I were to get a smartphone I definitely wouldn't want an iPhone 5. Plus, my mom is poor I have no idea how she is affording this.
So now I have this Apple technology that I have no choice but to use. I guess it's not really a dilemma, but I just figured I'd see what you guys have to say.
-
Your mother bought you it so use it or sell it off and use the money on your mother.
-
sell it off and use the money on your mother.
That would probably hurt her feelings and I don't want to do that.
EDIT: I get the feeling you are all going to think I'm selfish and spoiled now. I'm not. I called my mom and thanked her and I intend to use the device. I just wouldn't have picked an Apple device. I don't even know what to do with it. I guess I can jailbreak it or something.
-
Mail it to me.
-
Meh, I would be very happy to get an iphone as a gift but would never spend any mony to buy their over priced shit.
I suggest you use it. I mean its not totally useles and if you don't she will feel bad.
Also, about how she afforded it: she was probably saving money to give you this sort of gift. She did ask you if you needed a phone didn't she?
-
Mail it to me.
Ok I'll need your address and a copy of your social and birth certificate.
-
Be happy man :) It's a great device, despite what other people might state. but I get what you mean, if your mom doesn't have as much money it's a BIG thing she has done here. I would use it and enjoy it.

I was born in Hawaii, but I don't have a birth certificate.
My SSN is 666-666-6666.

Leetexploitville, that's Southern Cali right?
Well, It looks like I'm going to have to pay a visit to our iOS section finally.

Lawl, let me know if you encounter any problems :)
-
I agree with what other say. Keep it and use it. I would use it myself if that would happen to me, though I would never buy an iPhone. But if you get as a present? hell why not...
-
Yeah im going to. Im actually using it right now. Idk, what would you guys do with it?
-

I'd just use it as a regular phone until I would demand more from it. Then I would probably jail break it...
And put some masking tape overt he apple logo, paint it in some other color. That way people won't recognize your IQ level lol. Just have phun!

Exactly. I've talked so much shit about iShit, especially iPhones. Now I have to walk around with one. Not to mention I hate to be a walking 4G data stream..
-
You hate 4G? Why if I may ask?
-
I'm more just commenting on the fact that now I'm a more perfectly trackable walking consumer then I was before. So many people spend more time in there phones then they do in real life. Now I have a smartphone too

Lol I know how you feel.
Those crackers that spent every waking minute not occupied by something more demanding(dunno what that would be) on their fucking phone (read facebook) be it on a bike, car, bench , walking ,DURING A FUCKING CONVERSATION, driving, working, shopping, watching tv, etc etc etc
Thats just plain sad, I spent a lot of time behind a pc , alright but I can do fine without.
Spent 2 weeks during the summer with 0 digital devices, loved it.
-
Yeah no one ever looks you in the face anymore...
Ah well. I guess I'll just have to find some way to use it for something networking related. I want to jailbreak it and install Kismet on it. Then at least I could use it as a wardriving device or something.

You can also use it for hammering nails. Or, I hear it burns really well when you want to start a fire going in the woods.

Ok but for real though. I hate iphones as much as you guys, but I'm trying to make the best of it since my mother got it for me and I have no choice but to use it.
So, just out of curiosity... have ANY of you EVER done ANYTHING useful with an iPhone. Anything at all?

Made some pretty sweet phone calls.
-
Lol wow. Well fuck it. I'm going to make this iPhone useful yet. Need to install a scanner on that bitch.
-
It was meant to be used as a mindless phone, nothing more. Use it as such, otherwise you might get sued or break it to shit.
-
I'll drop this thingy here
http://www.idroidproject.org/
lucid, see if this can make your iphone more 'useful'
-
tell her to return it while it's not too late and get it replaced with a sweet android phone. then get wifikill and fuck some shit up!!!
-

For it to work you need to root your android phone too.

AFAIK no one has successfully done this yet. Am I mistaken? At least not on newer models.
-
I've tried that, it can only handle a "low network" of people. I have tried it at a college with a network of 1,500 people on it and it only "Supposedly" killed 27 people.
That WiFi kill app, needs improvement majorly.
too much cpu torture. I guess that is where the s4's octa-core comes in use.
-
Well, I just discovered there is no jailbreak for an iPhone 5 running the iOS version that I am currently using. So....
Looks like I AM just going to be using a useless piece of crap after all. Fucking bummer.

Ah, who am I kidding... you got me!
I'm actually an Indian.

Enjoy it man, is a great gift, do not know if your mom has any receipt or paper from where she bought it that gives you/her the right to replace it with something else.
Don't know if this site help you.

ps: i hated smartphones too, so 2 months ago i gave my nokia away and bought a normal phone that actually has battery, well i kind miss it know. I miss Kulverstuka's apps :D
-
since im assuming it has a warranty, i suggest infecting it with as much nasty shit as you can find then bringing it to the store to get "repaired".
alternatively you could bring it while nothing is wrong and act like you dont understand how to operate a phone, see how many hours you can waste by being really "slow" to grasp how the device works.
If you have insurance on it for water damage you could use it as a fishing lure and see how long it floats(for science!)
use it as a hoax: make a app for it that allows it to communicate its GPS/gyroscope data to a R/C Airplane painted up to look like a iDevice called the iPlane with it attached/recording video and record it flying around with a different camera and talk about how apple has spy drones.
oh note on that one, be careful some places it is illegal to attach a GPS/gyroscope to a R/C device like a plane or helicopter. One of the FEW smart moves made by the gov here in the US...ofc you can still get all the parts to do it off the shelf with virtually no monitoring done. Right idea, bad execution. but meh still should be noted that not all places is such a thing legal.
-
Oooh infecting it might be fun. Or maybe smashing it.
So far all I've done with it is download a shitty SSH app and another app that scans the local network I'm on and lists devices. Unfortunately I can't jailbreak it because there is evidentally no jailbreak for an iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1.4.
Can't get the SSH app to copy the key to my server either.

Man that had me laughing a lot.
As for the phone, I would personally have explained to my Mom that while I appreciated the gesture, that is not the phone that I would like, and is overkill for what you needed. Especially since you said you don't know how she is affording it. Again, this is what I would have done, I am not saying you did the wrong thing or something like that. Since it seems like you are going to hang onto it, I would just say don't expect much from it and it won't be able to let you down.

I honestly love the idea of smartphones and I love my smartphone (Samsung Galaxy SII), but I'm not one of those people constantly staring at either. I was in the same situation as you though, only I had a choice on which smartphone I got. My mom wanted to change her service plan, but it was so expensive that she might as well have a smartphone on the plan to make it worthwhile (3 regular phones = $95/month; 2 regular phones + 1 smartphone = $105/month), and so she took me along and told me to pick one out. Of course I completely avoided the iPhone, and I played with the others and liked the SII the best and forced mom to let me help pay for it (the phone with contract was ~$200).
-
Well, I figured out it was my damn stepdad who convinced her to do it. So of course there is just NO WAY that anyone could not absolutely love an iPhone. If only they hadn't made it a surprise...
Because now it's too late. I've already told her that I liked it because I didn't want to hurt her feelings.

Isnt it funny how our social education interrupts our true feelings...
Where did we go wrong.

Now THAT would be crossing the line. I'd have to say something..

iStuff??? Kill it!!!! Kill it with fire!!!
And one google search turned up this (http://www.redmondpie.com/jailbreak-6.1.4-ios-with-cydia-on-iphone-5-achieved-image/).
Maybe somehow downgrading or something?
-

The Industrial Revolution sir.
@arty - I don't need to downgrade. I never updated to the iOS 7 because I was hoping to jailbreak my iPhone. Which is interesting because I knew absolutely nothing at all about iGarbage. I didn't even know enough to know that I couldn't just jailbreak any iPhone running any version of iOS. I just happened to not update.. and now I'm glad I didn't.
I read that article. However, I've checked out some forums and whatnot and everyone tells me that there is no iPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4 untethered jailbreak. Even if there is, I can't find a legit source..
-
What I meant was try to downgrade to some other iOS 6, seeing as 6.1.4 is 6.1.4, i'm assuming there's at least a 6.1 or something.
A few google searches give me this (http://www.redmondpie.com/downgrade-ios-7-beta-to-ios-6.1.3-6.1.4-how-to-tutorial/) (which i'm assuming will work for 6.1.4 as well) and this (http://www.alphajailbreak.com/).
