According to the ever-quotable Noel Gallagher, iPhones are for “cockneys” and “***s” and he’s much happier pulling a battered old Nokia out of the back of his expensive jeans.
The quotes, which come from an interview Noel did with the Mirror, have been edited by the reporter, so we’re not sure if by “****s” Noel means something mildly inoffensive like “arses” or if he’s being really rude and saying something several measures stronger.
The full Galagher diatribe against iPhone went as follows: “I just want a basic 1994 Nokia mobile. I can keep it in my back pocket and just do the basics with it — phone and text. What would I need a camera on it for? iPhones are for Cockneys and ****s. And they are far too big.”

The missing word is probably the one that begins with c which means his brother must have an iPhone.
100,000,000 +1s for that comment.
Are they like Necter points? can I trade them in for money of gadgets?
“off gadgets” obviously. Any ETA on the edit button?
Still… I’m sure he loves all the money he rakes in from people downloading his music onto their phones.
Or maybe he’s just filmed an Android advertisement.
I see. He’s been relevant since…. what?
I love the way this man has a go at anything he can’t get his head around, keep practising the music Noel – I think you need it.
Who is this obnoxious little man with no hair style sense?
Dear Noel, not one person in the world cares, not even the iPhone users.
Shaun.
Arses seems far too mellow for Noel. I go with Darrell’s suggestion.
I was surprised given that he’s a Manc that he differentiated between cockneys and c***s, I would have thought he considered cockneys to be c***s.
Maybe cos all cockneys are cunts but not all cunts are cockneys.
Nokia 6630 was the greatest non – iphone mobile i’ve ever had
