Smartphone Debate Ends With Stabbings Apple vs. Android argument turned violent, police report

APRIL 17---A drunken argument over whether Android or Apple smartphones were superior turned violent early today when two Oklahoma roommates began assaulting each other during the bloody telecommunications debate.

According to Tulsa police, Jiaro Mendez and Elias Acevedo were outside their apartment around 1 AM when their phone quarrel moved to the stabbing stage.

As they tussled in a parking lot, Acevedo allegedly struck Mendez in the back of the head with a beer bottle. When cops subsequently apprehended Acevedo, he was “covered in blood” and “also had several lacerations on his body from the fight.”

Both men were treated for cuts and bruises at a local hospital, where Mendez told police that the pair had been “arguing about which phone was better, the iPhone or the Android.”

Acevedo, pictured above, was booked into the county jail for felony assault with a deadly weapon. Acevedo, 21, is being held without bond, while an Immigration and Customs Enforcement hold has also been placed on him, according to jail records.

Investigators did not disclose which of the men was the Apple fanboy or the Android devotee.

Wow!

Who cares? All ‘smart’ phones are just a way to drain your wallet ‘smartly.’

Those two are not ready to live in a civil manner.
They can’t have the nice things available without getting into an ego war.

These two jerks obviously could get into a drunken fight over anything... but the comments at the article are good, some really clever, like this one:

The two guys who insist that April of 2003 came before November 1997?

I can definitely see those two fanatics slugging other people for not worshipping iPple.

A friend of mine and his neighbor got in a fistfight over Quisp and Quake cereal when he was in second grade. My, how times have changed.

Well, did the Android or the Apple win the fight? Inquiring minds want to know.

I gather that Windows Phone wasn’t even in the fight. Sounds about right ...

By the end of the second quarter of this year phones with full Windows 10 will be hitting the shelves. Windows Phone is pretty much abandoned at this point due to this.

Consider Windows Phone to be an ephemeral ghost.

AND ...Swordmaker pinged the list, but not many were interested, because basically Apple users who appreciate the good products of Apple don’t go around stabbing people.

What you’ve got going on here are a couple of drunk ILLEGAL ALIENS (or at least one, anyway) who do things like they do “south of the border” ... LOL ...
