Usage of Pip-Boy was not exclusive to Vault-Tec however. The Vault Dweller's Survival Guide refers to "Pip" as an acronym ( Personal Information Processor), though in-game models of the device use "Pip-Boy," not "PIP-Boy," as its capitalization. In addition, certain Pip-Boy models could support additions and equipment that other models could not. Some Vaults received newer models of the device, while others were issued older versions. To register for such a device, residents would take part in an orientation seminar given by the Vault's Overseer to explain the functions and daily life enhancements provided by the Pip-Boy, along with filling out personal information in the Personal Information Processor Responsibility Form regarding such things as hand dominance, personal preferences, arm circumference, and vault jumpsuit measurements. If my handset won't fit into the plastic sleeve, though, I'm not sure I need to drop $120 after all.Īnd just when I thought I'd had my new phone issues sorted, too.Pip-Boys were standard equipment issued to all Vault-Tec Corporation Vaults. I'm not a cosplayer either, so having a totally functioning Pip-Boy on my wrist isn't a huge deal. Do I go for a smaller phone that'll work with the now sold-out Pip-Boy edition of the incredibly anticipated game, or do I stick with my original plan and buy Apple's flagship device? I'm not the type to upgrade my phone that often, and with what a contract-free 6 Plus will run me I'm going to use it until its metaphorical wheels fall off (or it's rendered obsolete via firmware update). The fact is, this isn't a life-or-death situation and I'll survive either way. The iPhone 6+ and the Galaxy S6 might be bigger, but they're also pretty popular and represent the best handsets made by their respective manufacturers. Bethesda says that the reasoning behind the size restrictions is because it wanted to keep the dimensions of the real-life Pip-Boy faithful to those of the in-game model. You'll notice that neither the iPhone 6 Plus or Galaxy S6 are listed there.
The company also promises a customizable foam insert that'll accommodate "most other popular" handsets. That's where the problems arise: Bethesda recently announced that the real-world Pip-Boy comes with foam inserts that fit the iPhone 4 and 4s, 5 and 5s and the 6 in addition to the Samsung Galaxy S4 and S5. All good, right? Well, I'm also in the market for a new phone and was eyeing an iPhone 6 Plus because it has a better camera and battery life compared to its smaller sibling, the iPhone 6. After the outfit's first E3 media briefing, I pre-ordered the Pip-Boy Edition of Fallout 4 because of course I want to put a real-life version of the game's stat-tracker and menu system on my forearm.
