Fun Friday
It’s the iPhone 3G Launch Day today and it wouldn’t be complete without some humor! In about two hours (from the time this posts) at 8 AM, Apple and AT&T Stores in the U.S. will be opening their doors to all of the people willing to sign-up for a two-year contract. We happen to be two of those people willing to buy the iPhone 3G, only because we were able to sell our original iPhones (purchased in Jan. 08′ for $399 ea.) on eBay in the beginning of June for $425 each. We really can’t complain about making money off of our used phones which can go to pay for the increased price for the plans (although for us, the price increase for the family plan is pretty minimal).
Anyway, below you’ll find a few different comics regarding the iPhone or Apple in one way or another. They all come from The Joy of Tech, one of our favorite places for geeky comics! After taking a peak at the comics we’ve gathered up here, definitely checkout their site for a few laughs.
Happy iPhone Launch Day!

The Weekend Before a Keynote
Raiders one is funny…
Thing is, I don’t get people lining up at midnight and what not for these things?! I mean, okay, if you want one, buy one, but lining up and running into the store in a frenzy? Is that a highlight of someone’s life these days? Yikes.
@Michael Dobrofsky:
I couldn’t agree with you more. However, this seems to be the case with most, if not all of Apple’s products. Even Steve Jobs’ keynote speeches are loaded with anxiety.
There’s something in Apple that makes people act strange. What is it? I dunno!
I will not be getting the new 3G iPhone. For me it is not worth it for what little new it offers along with a $10.00 per month plan increase.
I have no desire to get an iPhone. For me while the iPhone does look cool, I don’t need it. Further the monthly fee is likely what I pay in a whole year for my current cell phone. Nor do I want to sign my life away to AT&T/Cingular or whoever they are this week, who was a history of having the worst coverage of any carrier in the Phoenix area.
I don’t know… it can be fun if you have a group of people to sit there and talk to.
I definitely agree with you. We decided that we would take a chance and sell our old iPhones before Jobs’ keynote. We didn’t know when they’d be coming out, the price, or if there was even a new iPhone. Luckily things worked out for us, and the profit we got from the old one will pay for more than a year’s worth of the additional data cost.
If you hardly use your cellphone then I wouldn’t buy one either. For us it’s the only way to contact us as we don’t have a house phone or anything.
The most use of my cell phone I get is as a watch, which is why I could really relate to this Zits Carton ~ [washingtonpost.com]
The only reason I have a home phone is I get the service for free with bundling with my high speed date and digital cable.
