Firstly, I hope that you all had a relaxing, and well deserved festive break. I know I certainly did.<\/p>\n

Some people\u2019s New Year hasn\u2019t gotten off to the best of starts though, as one rightly unhappy customer knows too well.<\/p>\n

Sorry, your fingers are too fat for an iPhone 4, is exactly what one customer at a Sprint store was faced with this week, when they tried to get their hands on one of Apple\u2019s sought after iPhone models.<\/p>\n

Allegedly, a Sprint representative had said that:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe battery life sucks, if they dropped it, they would break it, the iPhone 4 is smaller compared to their last phone, and that their fingers are too fat for such a phone.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
