Whoopi Goldberg Hated, Destroyed Her iPhone 4

- By - Source : Tom's Guide US

Bad iPhone 4 made her mad.

Whoopi Goldberg is one of the many celebrities who has an iPhone. She also has an iPad, and she seems really happy with Apple's products. But the iPhone 4 hasn't been making her happy at all. In fact, she was so unhappy with the iPhone 4 that she smashed it.

She claims that her problems were with more than just the touchy antenna, though she did admit that the last straw was when the phone dropped a call on her when she was doing a live, on-air interview.

We're not sure if she was using a bumper or not, but I guess she won't have any need for that free one that Apple's giving out now.

Maybe we should call it the Whoopee phone?

The panel make some goood points.

The phone should first and foremost be a decent phone ...

It isn't ... it is a POS.

It is now my mission in life to propagate this new terminology to the masses.

Yes a phone should be able to do its primary function flawlessly: being a phone. iPhone 4 fails this. "Phones aren't perfect" lol what a joke. You made it imperfect.

Also, this news is old.

Steve Jobs: So it looks like I have a new nemesis in Whoopi Goldberg.

Jobs to underlings : Erase all words and phrases with Whoopi and Goldberg from Itunes and app store.

It's amazing how badly iPhone 4 sucks. It's also amazing how Apple Fanboys will defend it until the end of time. I will freely note first off that I am not a fanboy by any stretch, however I do have the 3GS, which I love. I did buy the iPhone 4, and it was so terrible that I returned it and went back to my current 3GS. It was just that bad. It's hilarious to me what Apple fanboys are saying in forums and blogs all across the web, defending this thing like it's some sacred gem, pretending all its issues don't even exist. Ridiculous. Check out the video I made on YouTube about "An Apple Fanboy's take on Life...". It's at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPcQ-cYg8iA

The comedy cup overfloweth on this one...

I heard Mel Gibson came to her defense:

"Whoopi is not an anti-fruitite racist! Now shut the f--- up! You should just f------ smile and blow me! 'Cause I deserve it."

I very much think that the Iphone 3GS is a nice phone, it works like a phone and has a ton of applications that allow you to do a whole lot more. Before I continue, I will say, I don't own an iPhone, nor an iPad, or any other contemporary apple products. I have an old G4 Tower, which I very much love, but it was purchase used. I am a PC fanboy as far as the day is long. That being said the iPhone 3GS is good. The iPhone 4..... Well my friend just recently bought one, and I'm surprised he didn't throw his into the concrete. He did nothing but complain about it for the 3 days he had it before taking it back. I kept asking him why he didn't return it, and he said 'Well, you know.. They'll fix it eventually..' Was the iPhone 3GS as bad when it came out? I don't recall reading anything bad about it anywhere. Anyone got some links?

Like Ellen DeGeneres, Whoopi will correct herself after Apple sends her a letter...

It would've been cheaper if she'd just worn a t-shirt mocking Apple...like these: http://www.zazzle.com/SteveSays*

Then she could wear a t-shirt that displays her anger instead of smashing expensive stuff for no reason. That's just wasteful.

doesn't the iphone have other uses besides making calls? that's right, they concentrated too much on these other features and forget about that phones primarily are supposed to make calls.

osxsier :
Too me whats more amazing and frankly quite pathetic is all these "android" people claiming that anyone with an iPhone 4 is fanboy and clueless. Seriously, I posted a few times in here about the iPhone, only to be immediately flamed and told how ignorant I was. I just sat back and laughed, that you people let a phone for gods sake, get to you that bad.And you say I am the one with issues? Most of you need to take a look in the mirror.


When i looked in the mirror, i saw myself.

She has unlimited funds and can afford to destroy a $400 phone and eat the cancellation fee. She probably thought it was possessed by the ghost of Patrick Swayze.

So the commercial she did with Phil Jackson and Jesse James for T-Mobile it means she did it for money . She has an broken iPhone by her own had, is great to be somewhat famous. Break a phone on TV. and get fee air-time. She got a lot of money for that MY Touch commercial. Conflict of interest NO!!! Sad that anyone would pay attention to Whoopi. We should make our own decisions. I grew up in a communist country and that is what they teach you, believe an do what the people in power/famous say. That is not freedom. Whoopi like fame and money. She could do a commercial for Apple and destroy a Blackberry. I have a BlackBerry Bold with many problems but if a destroy it no one would care much less make the news. People like Whoopi are like children with out control and they call it freedom. Make your own decision please!!!
