Is that supposed to mean something? I've worked in the electronics field for over 25 years and I can tell you with absolute certainty that "reality" doesn't always follow "theory." I've seen more than one engineer walk away scratching their heads saying "that shouldn't be doing that."

You don't know what you are talking about. You haven't a clue how long I've "played" with my phone when I first got it. In fact, my experience is the exact opposite of your ASSumption. I "played" with my phone longer several weeks after I got it because I added/tested/removed more apps as time went on. In fact, I "play" with my phone more today than in the first month I had it.

It did, get over it.

Nonsense. You can parrot that line all you want, it's not going to change my actual experience.
