New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

haha otm

kind of OTM but i also think he may be serious

wireless earbuds are a prestige thing. if you don't believe that, look at the price?

I actually really want a ceramic watch but lololol £1300. Still this is the edition now, so they've scrapped that £20k gold one?

Is there a popular model of wireless earbuds that don't have some kind of headband/connector? Design just seems idiotic.

So is the wireless audio BT or something else?

gold iwatch discontinued btw, wonder how many they sold in the end. under a 1000 my guess.

So I get the Nike Plus watch, but what's the deal with the Air Mez?

well you don't have to use airpods at all. You still have the alternative of (1) some beats bullshit, lol, (2) lightning earpods (3) the dongle (annoying but it's free), or (4) presumably regular old Bluetooth headphones. So no one is going to buy the airpods but it's not so bad for the phone.

right, which is why i said it's the worse thing. the other things are not so bad. i'll be using the dongle

I'm not going to spend that much on headphones, but it's worth saying that plenty of people do. There are Beats buds around that price.

def not spending that much on earbuds ever, especially ones that could be lost/fall out so easily.

earpods can only sound so good. there's no way to jonny ive the laws of physics.

what is the bluetooth solution for avoiding weirdo interaction thru visible earphone cables

hi as someone who has been using Bluetooth to stream music to my hearing aids for several years, there are many times I've just taken them out and put in regular headphones solely for this reason

also will that lightning adapter work w/ my damn headphone remote buttons (volume up/volume down/play-pause) bcz it BETTER, that's all I can say!!!!

big xp and no one cares but I annotate a lot of PDFs because I'm a prof and a journal editor and so I get sent a lot of PDFs that need my comments. and I don't like reading PDFs on a landscape screen at a desk, and don't like annotating with a keyboard

in ~2 years time i will get remote earbuds but they will be the kind with a wire between the two buds

ok good, I honestly don't really mind it, I'll just keep it plugged onto my headphones honestly

xp to Euler get a Surface Book my man

I didn't really care about many of these things but if they're going to affect Stevie's quality of life I am angry

RIP my custom earbuds - http://acscustom.com/uk/product-category/in-ear-monitors/

do the price drops on the other phones usually happen the day of the pre-order?

Oh yeah I guess if you use Square, it will be way more awkward with the dongle...

On the plus side, I just installed the 10.12 GM and recovered about 100GB of hard drive space. Still a little freaked by that.

they're selling the 3.5mm adapter for $9

the airpods also seem stupid because they're not isolating

the adapter comes free with the phone

That wasn't the creepy 'delete all your files and move them to iCloud' thing was it, ET?

Nope. Not going near that (although I quite happily use iCloud for other things)

do you get any kind of earphone in the box now when you buy the phone?

yeh the lightning ones and an adapter

ok ta

looking forward to news stories of randoms on trains ripping an airpod out of people's ear

but then trains are more than a hundred years old, maybe we should just get rid of them

Hyperloop One!

it does seem insane that there isn't even an option to have some sort of clip on mechanism or third party loop accessary so you can hang them around your neck when you're not listening, guess apple is counting on third party solutions. i bet there's a kickstarter for a loop adapter before the night is over

that's a really good point, there's nowhere to just pop them easily unless your clothing has sufficient airpod-compatible pocket configuration

which tbh would be a problem with all wireless earbuds if they existed

AirPods will be useless without the pairing/charging box so I reckon theft won't be a huge thing. Hate not having somewhere to put them when eg at the checkout. Watch pocket on jeans I guess

Also WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE NEW MACS ALREADY

my macbook pro is 1 year old and i'm already ready to sell it, which is weird, but true

true, but it'd be very easy for some kid to grab one and fling it out the train window just to be an arsehole. harder to do with clip-on bluetooth earpieces etc.

mine is 2 weeks old and I'll be selling it in Nov when the new ones come out.

My next laptop gonna be the ARM MacBook tbh

when i was into gaming (a very long time ago) i would keep my laptops/desktops much longer

i guess macs at least hold their value right?

apple removes headphone port and increases slimness of iphone 7 and in the process forces users to carry around a cigaratte pack-sized case as well

mine has passed 6 years, but it's got new ram and a new hdd, and the disc slot is hosed

xp

Wow, the Music UI in the iOS 10 GM is even more clusterfucked.

they're actually in league with Treeship. next iPhone has no screen.
