The Ridiculous Tech Problem Everyone Noticed in the Fifty Shades Movie

Feb 18 2015 - 5:30pm

A lot of things stand out from the Fifty Shades of Grey movie [1], but one detail in particular annoyed lots of people on Twitter: Anastasia's flip phone. Yes, flip phone.

"Helloooo, it's 2015," they said.

I saw 50 Shades last night and honestly I'm most confused about why someone in 2015 has a flip phone.

Saw 50 shades of Gray. So unrealistic, she had a flip phone, come on a flip phone.

But the biggest problem with the flip phone? When Christian Grey texts with Anastasia from his iPhone, their texts show up as blue bubbles. And as we all know, blue bubbles only appear when both parties are connected to iMessage [6].

50 shades of grey was so unrealistic, we all know a flip phone and iPhone conversation would have green text messages not blue #disappointed [7]

Who does the director think she's fooling?
