iPod Orientation FAIL

August 24th, 2009

ipod_landscapeportrait_fail

Yet again, the iPhone’s accelerometer gets confused by the seemingly simple task of orientation. Thanks to Liam for sending this in!

Safari, Home Screen, Notification FAIL

August 16th, 2009

home screen safari and home screen fail in one

It’s been too long, but we’re pleased to say we now have an absolute bucket load of FAILs to publish, thanks to all of you loyal FAILers ;-)

To kick off again, here’s a pretty horrendous screw up involving Safari, the Slide to Unlock Home Screen, and a notification/message (we can’t quite understand). Fantastic, a big thanks to Henrik Hyldig for sending this in.

Physical iPhone FAIL

July 4th, 2009

broken_iphone

We found this truly broken iPhone on Flickr. It looks like a poor old 3G got a bit battered, I think this is the most damaged (yet still working) iPhone I’ve seen. Nice repair job though. Check out the Set of photos by NeilsPhotographs.

Facebook Profile FAIL

June 2nd, 2009

facebook_profile_fail

Not entirely sure how this happened. It’s one of our own FAILs this time.

App Message Orientation FAIL

May 27th, 2009

app_rotate_cancel_fail

When will our apps learn to stay upright? Thanks to Crid for sending this in.

Giant iPhone FAILs - Holiday Special

May 23rd, 2009

To celebrate the Bank Holiday Weekend, we thought we would showcase some of our favourite ‘Giant’ iPhone Failures. Even promotional devices have their pitfalls and are never exempt from failure! Passers-by were fortunate enough to witness such failures on the rather large screen, and now thanks to iPhoneFAIL you can too! Enjoy :)

Somebody needs to tell the manager of this department store in Mexico to turn their iPhone display the right way around: Steve would not be impressed!

Thanks to Humberto Garcia Hinojosa for sending this bad-boy in, we literally LOLed at it. Epic FAIL!

The second failure is one of our own, exhibiting an on-screen message of Airport’s failure to connect to a network. This was captured outside the Carphone Warehouse in Tottenham Court Road, London, and we found that the message was still up a day later!

Lastly, it’s not just the banks that are failing at Canary Wharf… Upon our recent visit to no.1 Canada Square, the display iPhone at Carphone Warehouse was frozen on the weather widget with no signs of moving off.

App Store Black Box FAIL

May 21st, 2009

app_store_box_fail

Not entirely sure why there would be a black box covering all app info, but I’m sure there were good intentions there somewhere. Thanks to Alex Deida for sending this in.

Facebook Notification FAIL

May 19th, 2009

facebook_notification_fail

Thanks to Yashin for sending this in!

Birthday Date Picker FAIL

May 17th, 2009

birthday_date_picker_fail

birthday_date_picker_fail2

Year 300 appears twice and there’s no year 1582. And for all dates in between, the displayed date doesn’t match up… Thanks to Mark for sending this one in!
