And maybe take up some sort of martial arts training.
Or, at the very least, watch your back for iPhone-targeting, low-life, wannabe thugs looking to pry that beautiful iPhone from your cold, dead hands.
You see, there seems to be a shift from the old days where people were getting mugged for their iPods to people today, where people are getting assaulted for their iPhones. The video below shows an innocent bus-passenger getting the proverbial daylight beaten out of him by an attacker that had his sights set on nabbing a new iPhone.
While the video clearly shows the assailant grabbing for the iPhone, the victim claims that the attack was a “hate crime.” In either case, the teenaged attacker got away with nothing more than the clothes on his back.
The victim here wasn’t even attacked for an iPhone 3G, ’twas a lowly first-generation iPhone. Start hitting the gym and brushing up on your self-defense tactics (or at least perfect your groin-kicking “skills”) in preparation to fend off potential attackers, your new iPhone 3G could prove tempting to potential muggers out there.
