I read "Sent from my iPhone" as "I apologize for brevity and typos" and don't get offended.
- ajkjk 4y agoWell I don't get offended, I just roll my eyes that someone is okay being a walking ad for a company that has plenty of money.
- cal85 4y agoIf you don’t get offended, perhaps you get things out of proportion?
- Dalewyn 4y agoDo you roll your eyes at yourself whenever you, say, drive a car? We're surrounded by things that have their company's branding prominently plastered on them. Hell, stuff like luxury bags (eg: Louis Vuitton) exist specifically to flaunt a company's branding. Of course, it would be nice if we weren't surrounded by marketing and advertising everywhere all the time, but that's beside the point.
- ajkjk 4y agoUh, no, I don't; obviously aesthetic judgments are much more subtle than that. > but that's beside the point. uh that is precisely the point. Hence if there is some trivial way to avoid it, I like people who do it. For instance yeah your car has branding you can't avoid. But you know what you can avoid? Those stupid license plate holders that dealers put on to advertise themselves. Better than nothing.
- darkerside 4y agoYou can remove decals
- lostlogin 4y ago> Those stupid license plate holders In some jurisdictions you can avoid this problem by having no licence plate at all and if you upgrade the car frequently enough, you can avoid ever having a plate.
- trasz 4y agoAlso, at least some of the car brands can be ordered without external model markings.

- colechristensen 4y agoPeople who are so image conscious that they care about that kind of thing in themselves or others really seem like they have their priorities in the wrong place. It ends up being a great filter, leaving things around to bother the kinds of people you don’t want to impress.
- behnamoh 4y agoI understand that, but keeping the default email signature might also mean that said person is so busy or detached from technology that they don't even know/have-time-to change their email signature.
- jll29 4y agoWhen I read "Sent from my iPhone" I feel sorry they don't have a proper keyboard and that they have to touch cold, hard glass instead; what an unpleasant tactile experience! And then I remember I now have to do the same, because someone switched off my fantastic BlackBerry (R.I.P. until resurrection comes!)...
- LukeShu 4y agoBetween body heat from being in your pocket and heat from the electronics, the unpleasant glass usually isn't cold.
- atmosx 4y agoSomeone with common sense in 2022. How uncommon :-)
- vineyardmike 4y agoI explicitly leave it in for this sort of interpretation. I remove it from my iPad, but not phone.
