Transcript:
Goat: Where were you today, Rat?
Rat: Got the iPhone 6 Plus.
Goat: Oh, good. How's it working out?
Rat: Hang on. I got a call. Hello? I think I need bigger pockets.
Sounds like an iPhone. Delibrate problems that Apple “didn’t know about” which they’ll later admit they knew full well about only after selling millions in solutions to the “unknown” problem.
Which is better? A steel can or an aluminum one? As for the string, does monofilament work better or twine? Anything beyond that is just fluff. Why make these phones so difficult?
The people from the future present to you the iPhone 11 Pro Max. With it’s ginormous size compared to Rat’s iPhone 6+, you can consider those pesky species eradicated!

iPads get smaller as iPhones get bigger… soon they are going to catch up to each other and end up as opposite sizes than they first were!

Remember when they all bragged about how their phone was smaller?

Rat is ready for some “Plus” size jeans.
favm almost 10 years ago
I have a small phone. I can make calls and most of the time, receive calls. That is all it does. I love it.
Mikel V almost 10 years ago
But you can bend it to the shape of your back and use it as a shell!!

We have come full circle. The flip-phones became as small as cigarette lighters, now the smart-phones & tablets are the size of a book!
A. Buckeye almost 10 years ago

No One in Particular about 3 years ago
I must point out that Rat doesn’t wear clothes, so he doesn’t HAVE pockets.
