New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

64 bit in this release feels like a technical solution now to a problem that's in the pipeline rather than a feature that people will wank themselves to death over today.

what is the problem in the pipeline that 64bit solves?

not enough bits

grubes gets it

Here’s the thing. The iPhone 5C has nothing to do with price. It probably does have something to do with manufacturing costs (which are lower for Apple), but not price. Apple’s years-long strategy hasn’t really changed. They offer three phones:

This year’s, with the latest technology.
Last years’s, starting $100 lower.
Two-year-old model, free on contract, $200 lower unsubsidized.

It’s just that instead of putting the year-old iPhone 5 in slot #2, they’ve created the 5C. The 5C is, effectively, an iPhone 5. Same A6, same camera, same just about everything — except for the most obvious difference, its array of colorful plastic shells. This is not an iPod Touch with a cellular antenna (the iPod Touch, which was not updated today, still has an A5 chip and roughly 4S specs). The prices of their tiers remain the same as last year. What changes with the 5C is that the middle tier is suddenly more appealing, and has a brand of its own that Apple can promote apart from the flagship 5S.

In marketing, what looks new is new.

will prob be a big deal http://www.macgasm.net/2013/09/10/iphone-5s-sensors-m7

Also repair/replacement costs lower why because plastic

Going to pull the trigger on a 5S... Am trying to get into Core Motion stuff over the next couple of months.

i might get into ios development at some point

there's a person who looks like they have their arm on gruber in that picture. i think i know who it is. if you think you know who it is too, then you can keep posting in this thread, otherwise you should leave

my only hint is "the fabric of our lives"

if it sounds like i'm talking gibberish, then you definitely need to gtfo

the paperback version of the jobs bio also came out today, and yes i held it in my hands.

there's a little newish stuff i hadn't seen before in the epilogue, which i looked through

see: the stuff about what happened post-iphone 4s event

kinda appropriate to mention that today, perhaps

there's gonna be a stratechery post to read tomorrow i bet

do you carry your phone in a hip holster?

I do, at work. :(

whats a tu hao

afaict a tuhao is a sort of underground tyrant

the full thing (image is long as in chinese-social-media long)

some sort of ambitious douche

bling happy, i'm guessing

Tu hao gold

I am already feeling high, big and up thinking about owning such a phone

i kind of want it just to offend everyones exquisite sensibilities

well china watchers, what do you say, will the tu hao go for it?

I know very little about China except for what I've experienced working for several major american fashion companies who are currently raking in bazillions of dollars opening new stores in China every day of the week and on thing I can say is they really really love gold. Gold jewelry, gold bags, gold foil stamped money envelopes etc etc. I'd say the gold phone is going to be crazy huge.

So, "By the Seaside" is basically the bacon/zombie/mustache of new ringtones.

I was hoping it was going to be Down By The Seaside by Led Zeppelin

Unless it's "Playtime."

Or "Uplift."

And, hell, I can't decide which of all the ones who ARE that insufferable indie couple in the new Hyundai TV ads.

Can the people hear
what the little fish are sayin?
The people turned away.

you can't beat a bit of gold. that's what i'd get if i was 5S-ing

this is what the gold iPhone reminds me of:

Not sure I like the gold/silver against white. If I do cop one, will probably be the black and grey.

is the new one more grey than the last one cause if so thats lame

all black everything (iphone)

black iphone for my black suit

Samantha Fox, OTM.

(There's a thought I never imagined I would be expressing.)

My 4S is white. I kind of like being the one guy in the office with the white phone, so dudes are like "White iPhone, huh?" and I'm like "Yup." And then I just stare them down for a while.

when you do this, you should slowly raise your white iPhone and take a picture of them; if they ask why you did that, just say "it's for later" and refuse to give any more info

i want to get ba white one this time but like Hurting im having trouble getting passed the gold/silver. honestly i like the gold better than the silver but theyre both pretty bad. I might wait until i see them with my eyes. At least its not black and gold.

ugh past even

Also not feeling that gilted/silvered edge thing -- looks a little too "luxe" or something.

is it around the home button as well? looks like it
