I recently purchased a new iPhone 5S with an upgrade I had from my wireless provider. I got the 32G too, because I'm damn tired of it telling me that my storage is full. In any case, I love my new phone SO MUCH...that I am ridiculously protective of my week-old device. My smart phone, like most people's, is my life line. It is constantly near me, on my person or in my bag and the separation anxiety I feel when I don't have it borders on dramatic. The pictures and videos I take on it chronicle my life day to day. I've even been known to be talking on my phone whilst furiously looking around for my telephone, only to realized that I am, indeed, talking on my telephone. It's the best mini-PC/tablet on the planet. Period.
So imagine my dismay when I woke up this am to find my new phone plugged into a rogue charger.
Horror and shock, are the two words that come to mind. I immediately went to that "Who Did This?" place in my head until I realized that someone was actually doing me a favor. They couldn't have know that the charger "cross breeding" would offend me. How could they? I keep my original charging device safely enclosed in my purse so that I know where it is at all times. So that the charger thieves that reside in my house can now fight over the other, more common chargers that are left around the kitchen counter. So that I could keep the purest form of my iPhone 5S in near factory condition without the corruption of a black market, miscreant charger.
When I saw the above message on my virginal device this morning I had to accept the truth.
My iPhone 5S is now like the rest of them. Corrupted and flawed, it's eminency has been diminished. It's a shame really, but I decided that my iPhone 5S and I will press on. We will make a new life for ourselves and persevere. I understand that these knock-off chargers are infiltrating society today at breakneck speed. My own home had been tainted. I also understand that only in a dire battery situation, would I even consider the consequences of going over the the dark side of phone charging. Instead I will try to minimize our exposure to such threats the best I can.
I can't support a accessory that won't support me. I don't even have to like it.
Now it's no better than my cracked screen piece of crap. But what I like about iPhones is it's so easy to find a way to charge it when you're out.
ReplyDeleteI thought a charger was a charger, except I prefer the high current ones, they charge faster.
ReplyDeleteFunny,this accessory "MAY" not be supported, either it is or it isn't...
story of my life... accessory not supported ... and lack of decent charge... ;-)
