I thought our gedolim forbade us to own one of these abominations.
who is responsible for bringing this tumah to eretz yisroel? who is theone causing more & mre yidn to go down & be distracted from their avodas hakodesh in this world?
every day we are sinking lower & lower as we push Hashem aside & make other things our main priorities in life.
save yourself now-before its too late-& remove yourself from anything destructive to you & Hashem
Almost every Gadol of every conceivable stripe in E”Y (Chassidish, Litvish, Sefardi) has said that it is forbidden to have an Iphone. Yet YWN sees no problem telling everyone where to get one and how much it costs.
One more nail in YESHIVA part of this site. Maybe it’s time to change the name?
Now it can help people there have a yerida like it is doing n USA!
What took so long?
Sorry yungerman, but destructive to Hashem??? What does that mean???
What I want to know is, where do poor Israelis all of a sudden have a $1000 + to spend on a stupid phone?! Or is that what they come to America to collect for? I know I can’t afford one of these and I don’t even want the nesoyon!

I believe the Gedolim only forbade the iPhone, the iPhone 2 and iPhone 3… I think versions 4 and 5 are ok. When you get a chance to ask them please let us know.
