T-Mobile CEO John Legere appears to love Apple and their iPhone. During an interview at GeekWire Summit 2014, the T-Mobile CEO defended Apple in the iPhone 6 Plus Bengate scandal. When the interviewer brought up the Bendgate discussion, Legere described how stupid the Bendgate scandal was. Here’s what he had to say about it:
THAT IS SUCH HORSE SHIT. LISTEN, WHAT THE FUCK‚ DID YOU NEED TO SEE? THE VIDEO OF THE GUY THAT’S DOING THIS, AND IF YOU COULD HAVE SEEN HIS FACE HE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN PURPLE AND THE VEINS ARE COMING OUT OF HIS FINGERS. AND THE THING MOVES A LITTLE BIT? ARE YOU SHITING ME?
THIS IS AN AMAZING SUPERCOMPUTER IN YOUR HAND. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU PUTTING IT IN YOUR PANTS AND SITTING ON IT FOR? SERIOUSLY. YOU KNOW WHAT, THOSE NINE PEOPLE WHO SAT ON THEIR PHONES, FIRST OF ALL, THEY NEED JEANS THAT FIT THEM A LITTLE BETTER.
LET ME HELP YOU ABOUT BENDGATE OR WHATEVER IT WAS. IT’S NOT SLOWING DOWN DEMAND. THE DEMAND FOR THESE DEVICES IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS IS UNBELIEVABLE.
Legere’s love for Apple didn’t stop with the bendgate scandal. According to Legere, the improved T-Mobile we have today is thanks to Apple. During the interview, one of the interviewers asked what T-Mobile has learned from its collaboration with Apple.
Legere stated that Apple made T-Mobile a better company due to its quality control. Since Apple would not have given T-Mobile the iPhone unless they improved their network, T-Mobile was forced to start rolling out HSPA+ or 4G LTE if they wanted the iPhone, Legere said.
