The quibble is for anyone to take this out of context and interprete it as a claim about smart phones having no moving parts whatsoever, regardless if its related to data storage.
I thought it all started when you posted on 16 Jul 2014 10:14:52 GMT in Message-ID: <slrnlsckg6.pkj.mr@irc.sandman.net>:"What "switch" was this? You say it's an internal component, and the topic was "moving parts" so you seem to imply that inside your iPhone there was a mechanical physically moving "switch" that was broken. Having seen the insides of many iPhones (I have a friend that repair them), I can assure you that no such switch exists."Sandman
Of course not, given the fact that I was not the first one to talk about an internal switch. That was Peter.
Agreed, but you were the first person to deny that there was a switch.
all of the switches and buttons are external, as can plainly be seen by looking at the phone or ipad.
obviously, a portion of the switch is within the outer boundary of the device, as there would be no other way to build it, but that does not make it an internal switch.
ex·ter·nalEric StevensHaving learned to distrust statements such as this I rushed of to McGoogle and almost immediately found a link which prompted me to reply:That's funny. Here are the instructions telling you how to replace one https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPhone+4+Vibrate+Ring+Switch+Replacement/4334 or http://tinyurl.com/oofzaztSandman
And you found a link to a guide that replaces an external switch, not an internal one - and certainly not one related to the topic being discussed.Eric StevensSandman
The context in this case was your statement " Having seen the insides of many iPhones (I have a friend that repair them), I can assure you that no such switch exists." My link above shows that your remark was incorrect.
No it doesn't. Your link shows one of the external switches. In fact, it shows the only switch in the entire phone, which is external.
You have a most peculiar definition of 'external'.
adjective adjective: external 1. belonging to or forming the outer surface or structure of something."the external walls"
2. coming or derived from a source outside the subject affected."for many people the church was a symbol of external authority"
that perfectly applies to the switches and buttons on an iphone.
