iApple Products Never Crash!

The webpage from which the above image has been hotlinked (well, I didnt want to make a poor company like Google pay for the bandwith, specially when the picture quality is so crappy) claims that this is a... crashed ... iPhone!!

Now,we all now that iPhone was designed by iApple and hence will never iCrash. So what is this pictures really shows? well, the good folks at the webpage this picture was stolen from gave the following (prefectly good) explanations:


  • "Jon": It’s not a crash screen. It somehow managed to boot into a single user mode. It might, of course, be a picture displayed on its screen.

  • "John Black": Hmm, yes, booting into single user mode = crashing… maybe they just wanted to run fsck on it?

  • "Jensen": '‘cant’ exec /bin/sh for single user‘'
    Probably doesn’t have the right permissions or the /bin directory isn’t in the user’s path.
    Silly Windows people. Take a deep breath, it really isn’t crashed, no matter how much you might wish otherwise.

  • "Tim": This is a root mode. if you would look closely at the middle of the screen, it says if you wish to boot, exit. its sitting in root mode. one of the modes the iphone is capable of running since its an OPERATING SYSTEM. This is not crashed, just booted into root mode by either a technician showing someone how to boot there or a geek trying to be funny. its not broken or crashed. it will go right to the startup screen if you hit the only button on the bottom of the iphone. I know i have one and did this and it scared the crap out of me so i called apple just in case, but they told me it was a root menu and nothing is wrong. the “error” means that it has no saved data such as recent calls or pictures or voicemails. again i know because i did this on accident.

  • "Degeyer":The iPhone OS does not come with /bin/sh or any reference to it. This was clearly done intentionally by someone who was screwing around with the phone.

  • "Matt":jensen and chris are right. Oh, and one-dead-eye is the idiot.

  • "Skinrock":You are all a bunch of noobs! The iPhone is, along with all other apple-products invincible, and I am god!
    Don’t ever f**king question that!

  • "Will":This is the cutest geek argument I’ve ever seen.
    Do me a favor, and TRY HARDER TO RIDICULE A GOD DAMN PHONE.
    And aren’t there forums where you can wank off about open source?

  • "Dave": People commentating here have: 1) no idea about mobile phone technology and 2) no idea about UNIX and/or UNIX based operating systems.
    I am NOT wasting my time trying to teach pinheads the basics about any of them but let me just say this, the iPhone on the picture is just doing what the user requested it to do, nothing more, nothing less.
    It isn’t an OS crash in any perspective you try to picture it.
    Don’t waste other people’s time with nonsense.
You see? And who said Apple iFans (sometimes called apply fanboys by the MS-wing media) arent well educated, rational beings?

BTW, the image was most likely taken by a Sony products, since it looks like shait.
