New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

few friends of mine have a samsung Note and it's like comically sized

I would like the iphone to get maybe a little wider. certainly not longer

if they're going to have two models anyway, why not offer two sizes

they offer three, it's just the other two are the iPad mini and iPad

eh, i like them sticking to their simpler product lines tbh - let the other manufacturers go crazy with the options

The gold ones are cool

Yeah I like the color.

now there is critical momentum can I just say I like the gold also

Feel like the gold iPhone might be one of those Apple things that you LOL at until you see it in person and are all "Hmm. That's actually pretty slick." I can see it taking off.

china taking our jobs and poisoning our cellphone colors, when will congress act

that is terrifying

new camera icon is more skeuomorphic than the old one

Because icons was what skeumorphism complaints were about

new camera icon is more skeuomorphic than the old one

? no it isn't

well, it looks like a real-life camera rather than just a (very) real-life lens is what i meant

Like the new icons generally, don't love the colors but I imagine neon works well for being visible even on the lowest brightness settings.

do any of you use transmit? i just bought it

it's the best graphical ftp client, so if you need one of those, and you get it on sale, then it's good.

i have a license for it from years ago but i mostly use the command line for that stuff these days.

yeah it's pretty good

i fucks w transmit

i have four windows open rn

Been using Transmit since the beginning

lag∞n showing you how to transmit

what does it have over e.g. cyberduck

No quack

oh, a wisequacker, eh?

Transmit is scriptable (an absolute requirement for me)

ios7 hits 1pm est iirc

here hoping a beta 4 backup can be restored to the GM build

Backed up to iCloud or your computer?

both tbh

should I upgrade my wife's phone first as a test case?

haha

I upgraded from the last beta to the gold master on my phone with no problems

yes, upgrade wife's phone first

i'll do a manual backup of the phone before i upgrade, don't anticipate any weirdness

I wouldn't upgrade anything below a 5 for at least a couple weeks but maybe that's just me being cautious

my 4S is doing ok

r u gonna get an 5s tho

if they let me

yeah id go ahead and do that

just checked resale value for the 4s, not bad. and i think i'm eligible for a new contract+phone deal.

ya if you dont do the new phone when yr contract is up youre getting extra special screwed on yr bill

other option is to take yr phone to one of the low cost carriers

I heard tell of supply issues w/ 5s but really when hasn't that been the case

prolly a couple of FTEs at apple dedicated to spreading those stories prelaunch

there was a story about how the 5c had trouble selling out during preorders, i lol'd because macrumors framed it as 'iphone 5 supplies holding up well' instead of 'nobody, literally nobody wants to buy an iphone 5c'

they're plastic, they can't be that hard to build, right

all the parts except the case are the same as the 5 that theyve been making for a year so it stands to reason there shouldnt be any supply chain issues

Did they do anything tricky like making the processor on a smaller die or giving it a lil bigger battery?

i think the battery is a bit bigger and the logic board might share the same silicon as the 5s
