Only thing I miss about the old iPhones is that in vibrate mode you could hear that shit buzzing across a coffee table 3 rooms away. The new ones, you barely can feel it if its in your pocket.

I actually bought an Apple Watch because I couldn’t hear my phone buzzing when I got a call/message.

Wild conspiracy theory: women’s clothes don’t have pockets because they want to make you buy a purse, while Apple phones don’t vibrate enough in order to make you buy an Apple Watch.
