What’s the point of a metal detector without a person to guard it?

What? Metal detectors don’t automatically come with an armed guard.

I mean, I could see it for a tenth of the price. But not 12 000. And only if it was really fun.

I think a good solution would be a persistent notification that it's off in the bar. Like just a little icon whenever it's off, similar to how a little airplane shows up when airplane mode is on

Or don't buy an iPhone...

“you put a one and two zeros in front of that or we pass!"

If the parachute doesn’t open that probably constitutes a crash anyway

Lmao, i mean roller coasters are still considered scary for quite some people , so SOS is a good backup man. Nvr know when u need it ;)

I didn't know she was dead until now. 13 years late.

And where will you keep the said phone?

Because apple thinks you're too stupid to adjust settings without ruining everything. It's my mom's fear and I'm assuming why she goes with apple.

It's easy to call people incompetent when something doesn't work perfectly right away but I can imagine it's really facking hard to detect the difference between a tumbling car and a rollercoaster going through a corkscrew. I'm sure Apple did think of this but deciding on the threshold when it is or isn't a crash is really hard and I think they would rather have it be too sensitive than not sensitive enough.

Even without the parachute opening it would probably trigger it

That’s such a weird solution. Put a detector, hire a guard, give him a gun.

The best thing I reckon: is not to have them on the damn roller coaster in the first place- shock horror

How about have a option to disable/enable

So the great apple is not so great these days

Oh wow, every anti apple comment gets downvoted to hell, alllright then

Nah, the workaround is to buy Android, lol

GO ON EBAY and score an old Thinkpad for like $100! Anything with at least an i5 or higher processor is totally adequate for running streaming video. Even a couple yr old Chromebooks are cheap!
No one wants laptops anymore, it's either phones or pads, so the laptop market is overloaded.
I used to do major computer tech but the market has fallen out... I HATE working on phones, you don't know how anti-user-friendly they are... to pry them apart from this horrible super-glue, and then there are TINY-ass parts, like the tiny metal contacts that go in the volume and power buttons, I'm not kidding, they're the size of fleas, and if you lose them, (which you do) your phone is pretty much a brick after that.

JFC, take a zero off that price and it's still too pricey. Who the hell thinks that's a reasonable price!!??
