iPhone news making you queasy?

Yeah, the launch is over but that doesn't mean an end to the iPhone news and reviews. If the crystal Jesusphones piece had you rolling your eyes in damnation, take heed of the Yahoo Pipes feeds we whipped up awhile ago -- use them to opt out of the Apple and/or iPhone news entirely. Yes Dorothy, there is life beyond Cupertino -- your nightmare is now over.


Opt out of Apple / iPhone news
Engadget classic without any iPhone news - RSS feed, Pipes page
Engadget classic without any Apple news - RSS feed, Pipes page

Engadget Mobile without any iPhone news - RSS feed, Pipes page
Engadget Mobile without any Apple news - RSS feed, Pipes page

Of course, if you have laser-like focus on this stuff and want a separate feed for Apple and iPhone news, we offer that too!

Get only Apple / iPhone news
Engadget classic only iPhone news - RSS feed, tag page
Engadget classic only Apple news - RSS feed, tag page

Engadget Mobile only iPhone news - RSS feed, tag page
Engadget Mobile only Apple news - RSS feed, category page

Ill just pass up getting on engadget for a few days :/

Theres hardly enough non iphone articles to justify even coming here.

See you again next week engadget :D

Finally, a light at the end of the tunnel.

[jilie @ Jun 30th 2007 5:34AM]

OMG not this paranoia again?!

[Chris @ Jun 30th 2007 5:47AM]

Wow, I could have really used these filters the last few months. I think I'll just cut blog reading altogether.

[cdman98 @ Jun 30th 2007 5:51AM]

People shouldn't have to subscribe to a special feed because you over cover ONE product OVER and OVER and OVER. Start an iPhone Blog and have Engadget be about THE WORLD of gadgetry.

[strider_mt2k @ Jun 30th 2007 6:55AM]

Golden.

[Zach @ Jun 30th 2007 6:12AM]

These feeds are not going to solve the problem - I, like I guess most other people experiencing iFatigue - will want important! IPhone news (like the date of the Europe launch), just not 1000th mindless apple fanboy post. There feeds don't achieve that.

I for one am looking for a different gadget site; until I find one I'm waiting for the first person smashing an iPhone with a sledge hammer - that's the one iPhone post I'ld like to see.

[AppleNerdz0r @ Sep 16th 2007 5:06PM]

Honestly, I work for Apple and I'm really getting tired of seeing only iPhone articles every single time I visit. Dear God, something new... PLEASE!!

[Xavier Gill @ Jun 30th 2007 6:16AM]

Engadget is really smart they know they're gonna get loads more traffic than usual with people just looking for iPhone news so they wanted to make an Iphone only feed. However they know what the reaction would be if they only released that "OMG BIAS!!!1!!234" so they dress it up as an opt-out service with a "oh by the way we've got an Apple only feed too...". Bravo.

Anyone who does opt-out will have the pleasure of two news pieces a day. One about a router no one cares about and the other about a Dell laptop no one cares about.

[Me!!! @ Jun 30th 2007 6:34AM]

VIVA LA SENSORSHIP!!!!!!

[strider_mt2k @ Jun 30th 2007 6:39AM]

I'm also giving up tech blogs for a while.

I never thought I'd say it, and damn if I ain't doing it.

I just watched the iPhone destroy Gizmodo.
It's like when my friend died last year at this time, also through senseless excess.

Engadget has also given in to a certain extent, which is also saddening.

I've never seen so much about so little.

-and they just keep shoveling anything remotely connected to it as it if were even blogworthy, which is saying quite a bit.

If I remember the iPhone for anything it'll be how it single-handedly lowered the bar for technology reporting on the internet.

[chadow @ Jun 30th 2007 7:25AM]

There really isn't a reason for so many separate articles about the iPhone. I expect next time I stop in there will be headlines like "iPhone's are quite shiny?"...maybe "Old man buys iPhone"..."What did you name your iPhone?"...or a "Some dork gets an Apple tattoo". Its not like half of what news you are posting here on iEngadget is even news worthy. It is a little iRidiculous.

[jilie @ Jun 30th 2007 7:44AM]

the majority doesn't care about the iphone, get it and feel a retard itself(about the iphone features too)

[Andir3.0 @ Jun 30th 2007 8:16AM]

That's all fine and good, but where's the http://www.engadget.com/no_iPhone/ link? I don't use feeds at home for Engadget. I simply open my browser and navigate to it. Why should we have to be forced into using a feed?

[Ryan Block @ Jun 30th 2007 1:24PM]

Because, as I said, our platform doesn't support selective news yet. Sorry, feeds the best way right now!

[Eric @ Jun 30th 2007 10:43AM]

I'm actually _literally_ queasy. Kinda creepy, no?

[cmonkey @ Jun 30th 2007 11:56AM]

Where's the option to only opt out of the posts asking me if iPhone news is making me quesy?

[barnz2k @ Jun 30th 2007 12:43PM]

I tested the "no iphone pipes page" but theres still iphone stories in the list..3 of 17.. whats the deal with that?

[Sanskrit @ Jun 30th 2007 2:10PM]

Yeah, no kidding...even the No Apple page currently has the iPhone headphone article as it's top story. WTF?

[Johnny Thrash @ Jun 30th 2007 1:15PM]

Sure wish someone would create me a War-Free and Paris Hilton-Free CNN page.

[Sanskrit @ Jun 30th 2007 2:11PM]

Add no-iPhone to that and I'm sold on it.

[barnz2k @ Jun 30th 2007 11:39PM]

Ahh.. its because THEY have 12 of them! Engadget are obviously Iphone freaks!

[mark @ Jun 30th 2007 2:40PM]

this is madness!

[Stez @ Jul 1st 2007 12:46PM]

madness? this is spaaartaaaa!

[George @ Jun 30th 2007 2:53PM]

I love it. More iPhone news please. You whiners have a seperate feed and you are too lazy to use it. Gosh you guys are babies. Your constant whining is more annoying than an excess of iPhone posts. All the tech blogs are vigorously covering the Iphone so you can't escape. Not all of them created a seperate feed for your bitching asses. Stop threatening that you'll go elswhere to Engadget and use the feed retards.

[michael @ Jun 30th 2007 3:46PM]

I don't mind the iPhone news, just as long as there isn't too much of it. Every little rumor, people waiting in line, the product stocks of it, all that stuff about the iPhone isn't important to most people.

I just don't want to filter out everything that is iPhone, just the non-important stuff. I don't think little rumors, people waiting in line, and other little stuff should be seperate posts on Engadget. If anything, those are the ones that should be filtered, not all of the iPhone news. It would also help if you started talking about other gadgets, since there's barely anything else to read with the non-iPhone news.

[Joe @ Jul 1st 2007 3:54PM]

YES!!! Just make an iPhone site and leave it off the main site. This site sucks, but it didn't used to.

[Hans Luijten @ Sep 15th 2007 5:01PM]

Not sure why people even make a fuzz about the Apple news. It's freakin' gadget news, so I'd like to know. There will always be news that one doesn't care for ... and that's OK, just skip them.
Oh well ...

[Bossman @ Sep 15th 2007 6:25PM]

The fact that you have to offer this shows you're doing too much Apple news. Fuck that.

[artc3 @ Sep 15th 2007 7:45PM]

I spend more time scrolling past iPhone stories on Engadget than I spend using my iPhone in a day. True story.

I'm with the majority here, the threshold of iPhone news oversaturation has been crossed, to the point of Engadget mirroring TUAW for all practical intents and purposes. Get it off the main page except for really significant stuff, and everything else can stay on TUAW (much like how Engadget and Engadget Mobile function now.) But fix it, because the quality of the site has really, really declined and I won't bother with a reader, I'll get my news somewhere else. I like Apple, I like reading about them, but moderation is a good thing.

[emenBlade @ Sep 15th 2007 11:28PM]

yesh i agree with the majority of the posts here, i used to read Engadget twice a day before and after school. but i didn't check the site all summer long cause i have and extremely slow comp and school's are faster. Near the end of school iphone was in spotlight, OOOs and AHHS, but i don't really have the dough to care about that particular piece of technology. not for a few years at least. There was a time when Engadget would show me the craziest mods for a 360 and a WII,and such. I'm not planing at looking at feeds and hoping to get some thing interesting, Even if that is how i found this site (Gmail feeds are pretty good some times. it used to be that i would brows and say ooh that looks neat ooh that looks cool. but not any more... oh and any one looking for something interesting although mostly unrelated site e-mail me @ emenblade-at-GmailDawtcom peace out... Engadget plus readers...

[RareDiver @ Sep 16th 2007 5:38AM]

TO: Everybody who is complaining:

Why not simply NOT READ the 'news'?

I agree that some articles are not tech-related at all or a bit repetitive but so what ? Don't you have a scroll bar on the right of your browser or a mouse-wheel that you can use to scroll through quickly?

DO you really have to read EVERYTHING that appears on Engadget ? Get a life, pick what you want to read and move on without spending time to complain all the damn time about articles you should have just simply avoided reading.

[emenBlade @ Sep 18th 2007 3:57PM]

well now its better thnx engadget i appreciate the fact that now the news is a lot more widespread. thank you engadget for being the better-no...best read of my morning.
