New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

although, there's no mention of cue/review afaict

re spotify: we only got it here what four weeks ago and it only works when you're in wireless range iirc and you need a farcebook acct in order to use it here AND I already have all the music I want to listen to on my classic so

i want an mp3 player with 100GB+ of storage that doesn't cost £200

you could get a sansa player and carry around several MicroSDHC cards with you.

do you not have spur of the moment obsessions

^^ rad

classics are rad & all but shouldn't the focus be more that you end up having four-in-four-years or w/e; mine is so close to dead, i made it last a while but it sucks that things fail so readily or inevitably now. not even in terms of inevitable slowness, &c, but just the hearing cutting out &c.

I think AA means he carries around 4 of them at all times

i do use an 8GB sansa w/ 32GB MicroSDHC card! its ok but any time you add new songs there's this incredibly long library update you have sit through.

xp I have an old white one, a 120 gb for the car and a 160 gb grafted to my hip. all three still work but I use them so often that the batteries in the first two are weak.

My music wouldn't fit on any of those so nyeah

carrying around SD cards is for the birds, yo

OK, maybe the 160GB one, but the point is that I had a few friends who sat around bitching that they'd never have less than a 100GB iPod because they want all their music on them at all times, etc, but it just seems like an attitude I've heard barely voiced since 2008 or so.

probably because we all have 160 gb classics now

hey, I just realised there's no iphone 5 bumper case

I still don't get what yr problem is, I have all the autechre albums on my phone

in lossless, they're the only things on there

i've never had a 100gb ipod - struggling every week to fit enough music and apps on my 32gb as it is - how can you not want more space?

i strongly suspect that apple has internal statistics that say that only like 1% of users actually max out 64s or something, so they can keep rolling that as the premium option

Nah, it'll grow for sure, but I'd rather have a solid state memory device to run around with than a hard drive any day

Oh yeah: HELLO FROM IOS 6

;_; I still have my 80gb and it works great

fuck you guys have waaaaay more music than me #inferioritycomplex

Not that the quality of your music is going to change, but having all music at all times kind of seems like an all-you-can-eat buffet for every meal. Even if you go there for the fried chicken, you're going to end up grabbing all kinds of other stuff for convenience. Limiting selection leads to a greater appreciation.

namaste.

LAME

i guess the iphone fingerprint sensor rumors turned out false

pretty strange that posters on this board who also frequently post in ILM would voice this particular opinion

having every nickelback album would be an all-you-can-eat buffet. I have a michelin-starred chef in my pocket. enjoy your nickelback feast btw.

who are the frequent ilm posters out of these? :)

(lack of jokes, sorry)

What's ILM?

you and your fucking gang signs man

Apple has quietly split the iPhone lineup back into two, something of significant importance to North Americans who travel. Due to the widely disparate frequencies used for LTE by carriers worldwide, and some American and most Canadian carriers using CDMA networks rather than GSM, there will be two iPhone 5's. Maybe three, but that looks like a software locking issue not a hardware difference.

The iPhone 5 model A1429 sold for Verizon or Sprint in the US runs on CDMA for 3G and voice, but LTE for 4G data, using common worldwide frequencies. But thus far, Apple has promised LTE roaming only on one Japanese carrier. The same model, A1429, is sold as a GSM/LTE phone for eleven carriers elsewhere, including UK (Orange or T-Mobile) and Australia (Optus/Virgin and Telstra). Although the US/Canada CDMA phone supports all of the LTE frequencies used in those countries and more, it's not clear the legal stuff is in place to activate it.

The other iPhone 5 is model A1428, which is a GSM phone that supports only two LTE frequencies, neither used outside the US and Canada. It is sold for AT&T in the US, and for three Canadian carriers.

This makes the Verizon or Sprint iPhone 5's look to be much better suited to Americans that travel overseas than the AT&T version. It looks like Canadians are SOL if they travel abroad. Here's Apple's guide to iPhone 5 variations and a third-party writeup.

Brilliant, cheers Lee

"Maps is shocking. My local Tube doesn't even *exist*"

ha, i was going to ask if siri knows about places outside the us yet. i guess not.

p.s. jesus christ what is wrong with the mobile phone industry in the us.

Siri is supposed to work in several countries and languages by now - it even has different settings for American, Canadian, British, or Australian inflection. But they evidently haven't mapped the whole world yet.

can post to FB right from siri, can't wait to read that your vacation in skeleton craze is nearly older

seems like you would want Model A1429 (GSM model) for true global compatibility but how would you even get one in the US?

the uk english siri guy has been available since release. but if you ask for directions it refuses to answer. it's not an issue of the data being available -- it won't give me directions in the us unless i changed my phone language settings.

i believe the A1429 CDMA should also roam on GSM and it definitely covers the global LTE bands. The A1429 GSM lacks the US LTE bands.

This is exceedingly vexing. I'm on AT&T and travel a lot and I can't really switch to Verizon/Sprint because neither of them carry inside the walls of our factory, AT&T is just fine.

What are the really compelling reasons for upgrade though? My 4 is shit hot

My compelling reason is my knockoff replacement screen is dying a death.

I suppose if you travel a lot and are willing to pay roaming fees, 1429 CDMA makes sense

but I wouldn't be able to go to a new country, buy a SIM card and pop it in

I'll get the new phone obviously, but I'm torn of whether I should stay with AT&T (and retain my unlimited data plan) or switch to Verizon. I have horrible data connectivity with AT&T that drives me crazy. Full 3G signal, but wouldn't connect to anything. Constantly I have to flip airplane mode on/off or turn off 3G all together to connect. Would Verizon be any better? How is AT&T's LTE network?

Is that true? Don't Verizon world phones also need a SIM to roam abroad?

I should note that I never exceeded 2 GB of data month, but I blame that one a shitty connection. If I could I would be streaming spotify all the time over cellular.

it's always been my impression that verizon/sprint phones don't have SIM cards. could have changed recently tho xp

also I guess the viability of using the iphone 5 abroad would also depend on how many carriers offer prepaid NANOsim cards

aha, CDMA iphones need a SIM for LTE in any case
