I bought the new iPhone 16iS from some aliens today...

There's a lot of talk about Apple releasing the new iPhone 6 but I have a story that will do one step better.

I went to McDonalds for lunch and a spaceship was hovering over the drive-thru window. It appears they ordered two quarter-pounder meals with coke and didn't have any money to pay for it. I stepped in and shouted up to the pilot "Maybe we can make a trade... do you have anything of value... ?"

They levitated down a phone device slightly larger than a tablet, but it was no thicker than a credit card. Feeling like the in the movie 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' who gave Klaatu a few bucks for a fist full of diamonds, I said "I'll give you twenty bucks... do we have a deal?" Some lights blinked on the phone and deal it was!

This thing is AWESOME. I hope they liked the quarter-pounders.

Talk about specs... it's got a GPS accurate within the thickness of a fingernail. Running iOS 22 Siri has been renamed to Siri-ous and answered any question I could give it. For example "Why is the hair falling out of my head but my nose hairs are getting thicker?" Yep... You'd be amazed at what Siri-ous knows.

Everything is going good so far. It doesn't need a battery charger. Solar powered, so all I have to do is leave it in the light and it charges. It's got a language translator with 240+ languages that work by scanning, typing, speaking or... I'm not sure about this part, but I think it's some transceiver for mental telepathy. Obviously, I don't have enough brain waves to make the meter move the slightest bit!

So far, the only real drawbacks to this thing is I have to hold my thumb and three fingers tightly together to get the fingerprint scanner to unlock the screen... just like when we were and made fake prints on dad's car when he didn't wash it! 2,000 numbers in the contact list so I guess I'll spend the weekend deleting numbers.

Oh, another drawback was the sticky greenish slimy stuff on the case. The first thing I did was wipe this thing off with alcohol. Yuck!

I figured out what the "iS" stands for... Inter-Stellar. Woah...how awesome.

iPhone 16iS coming to a galaxy near you!
