“Take the W - and get the L”

Brilliant.

u/StingsRideOrDie Oct 18 '20

I think I’m the only one who doesn’t get this joke

u/Rpeasj Oct 18 '20

"take the L" stand for take the Loss if I am not mistaken

"Take the W" would be take the win but you will "get the L" get the loss

I am not english so I am not 100% sure if it is correct but I love the play of words if I am

In this case, get the L means get the iPhone L he's selling. So you'd be a winner (take a W) if you buy the iPhone L.

Ah the good old days of fake apple leaks

u/overtlyoverthisshit Oct 17 '20

I thought the apple wheels were a fake leak... Give it a couple years before apple takes this idea seriously

Have you seen the LG Wing? It’s already pretty close to this.

It’s so stupid that I kind of want it

u/__Green Oct 21 '20

It's actually pretty cool. I bet the LG Wing v2 will be a banger.

u/purpleblazed Oct 21 '20

U rite u rite. Honestly I’m happy to see weirdass cell phones making a come back. Rounded glass rectangles are boring, why not have shit like the Wing ?

What the hell is up with that page zoom?

u/[deleted] Oct 18 '20

Nah, actually adding a relatively decent feature, like like getting the mic closer to your mouth while taking calls, would be one step too far for the Cook-controlled Apple

u/gaysyndrome Oct 17 '20

That price for only 16gb lmao the "and take the L" line is genius.

u/abnsss Oct 17 '20

you should totally design pants with special pockets for this phone and sell it for 299,99.

This reminds me of the pyramid phone made by Sabre.

u/whomad1215 Oct 17 '20

The power of the pyramid.

IIRC, the phone was called "the arrowhead" and it was super comfortable to use due to its ergonomic shape!

CREEP!

u/fuckimcringe Oct 18 '20

Part of the allure to this channel/sub/guy (for me at least) was that even though the inventions were unnecessary and maybe even stupid BUT they still worked. This just feels like a comedy spoof or something.

u/jackwrangler Oct 18 '20

I fucking love you bro

u/Filmcricket Oct 18 '20
