RIP iPhone

  My iPhone retired tonight. After serving me a good 2 years plus, it dieded. I reminisce the day when I pestered my dad to get me a smartphone and not just any smartphone but the ultimate iPhone! At that time, I wanted an iPhone 4S because I didn't fancy the iPhone 5 structure. It's length turned me off (that's what she said). I thought the iPhone 4S was pretty cool and that I wouldn't have to splurge a fortune on the latest iPhone (at that time).

  I sound like a total brat for wanting an expensive phone *cringe I guess I wanted to make the best out of my very first smartphone. Wow I never really took notice that this is the only smartphone I have. Interesting. I was unluckily lucky. I couldn't purchase the iPhone 4s anywhere and so my dad decided to get me an iPhone 5. I didn't complain, again sounding like a total brat, I wasn't looking forward to it.(The urge to slap 15-year-old me for being spoiled is so strong right now) 

  Fast forward to when I held the iPhone box. It was glorious. I opened it and I saw this sleek, think, silver phone. It still had the plastic screen protector you were supposed to peel off. I was so freaking afraid to even hold it! We are talking about a RM2k phone on my sweaty palms. It was like a huge thing! It was like getting your first period,huge! No joke. 

  My phone survived drops, dents and scratches. It's naked. I stopped using phone covers and screen protectors. It's not like I didn't love it anymore, I just trusted myself with the phone. For someone who has had an iPhone for 2 years plus, physically, it's maintained. 

  Long story short, my phone ended its life tonight or its just being a bitch, I can't tell. It is obviously overcharged, my cable was on the verge of giving up. Previously, my home button was faulty and I thought that would end first. Unfortunately my power button was all Surprise Mothafucka!!! and gave in last week. 

  I started googling and youtubing ways to restart my phone without the help of the power button. I ended up putting my phone in the freezer. It is said that if you put your phone in the freezer, it would most probably drain the battery and I could charge it and the battery icon would appear. Nope. No miracle. My screen was blacked out. I could hear Siri and incoming calls, but not a light in sight. 

  I started mourning over my loss. I don't know what are my options for now. One thing I am sure of is that I am phone-less. I don't know for how long. I won't be using whatsapp or Instagram anytime soon. (I might just go and get it fixed tomorrow, idk) 

  This is depressing. 

  Am I going to purchase another Apple phone? Probably not. It's like having a 2 year relationship and one day he decides to die on you without a goodbye. Apple iPhones are overrated. Before thinking of getting an iPhone think about this, If you can afford an iPhone then you should be able to afford repairing an iPhone.
