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

Thanks again to everyone who has sent FAILs in - we’ve got so many we’re spoilt for choice! If you’ve got a FAIL, you can submit it here.

Inbox (2), but how many blue “unread” dots can you count? Looks like Mail needs to go learn the basics like addition and subtraction. This is one of our own: @gosquared
