New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

"not all mentioned are free" = half are 49.99 !!!!!!

hopstop sounds pretty cool though

really, I'm going to use bing on an iphone? *gives up*

in a waikiki starbucks at about 9:00 this morning, i saw a man in his late 40s/early 50s, sitting by himself in a leather armchair. moustachioed and casually dressed (faded ballcap, t-shirt, shorts, flip-flops) he wore sunglasses while reading the Wall Street Journal. almost as soon as i took note of him, i watched as he turned the page to a full-page ad for the iPhone 5. despite this ad having hardly any text, he held it up and seemed to be closely studying it for a good ten or fifteen seconds, until finally making a silent mock-"well aren't we special!" head wobble, folding the paper in half, setting it down, and taking a sip of coffee.

casually dressed (faded ballcap, black turtleneck, jeans, new balances)

"well aren't we special!"

:D

i mean aa recommending android to others then getting an iphone himself is p illustrative of the nature of peoples complaints

sadly this is otm. my reason is specific (i.e. good luck to learners of chinese on an android handset) but millions of people probably have equally specific ios requirements.

btw apple's 'maps will improve as people use it' is wishful thinking imo.

well i bet it actually will, it just may not ever catch up with gmaps

theyll improve because apple works on them, people using them just provides useful data

Pretty pissed that my iPad 1 is essentially obsolete already.

yeah, there's a lot that can be done without ~crowdsourcing~, starting with putting cities and towns on land xp

thats the great thing abt starting from such a low point

Pretty pissed that my iPad 1 is essentially obsolete already.

wait, i have an ipad 1 ... is it obsolete now?!?

First gen iPads can't run iOS 6

oh good, i thought it was no longer useful as a book and comic book reader / news reader / web browser / email in bed toy

Haha no, it's still fine for that. My sweetie is very happy about that!

trying to figure out if i should plug in my iphone and try to revert to iOS 5 but i feel like ghost of jobs has some sort of master plan to fuck me over if i do that

isn't downgrading impossible without jailbreaking?

i spent about 2.5hrs downgrading on my 3G once and it wasnt jailbroken.

what if i restored from last week's backup?

pretty sure I read something about downgrading via dfu mode yesterday, can't find it now

i'm serious about being too scared to do it

is it seriously worth the trouble

doubtful

you can still downgrade, but only for the next couple of days as they're expected to stop signing ios 5 pretty soon.

I forgot about the iPad 1 thing. It's a pisser, because it means you can't iMessage from your phone number on those.

iphone 5 is pretty sweet y'all

only ever used the 1g so this is a biiig update for me, can't really say how it compares with more recent ones except to say

FIVE ROWS OF APPS

side effect of loading ios6 on ipad 3 - native youtube is gone and google's app is iphone only

five snaps in a star formation

is it obsolete now?!?

At the very least it's possible that it will never be updated again.

first world problemzzzzz

not trying to make fun but i'm going to try to remember the good old days when it was a revolutionary device that changed my life and maybe it will seem so again

ios6, ios7, ios8 or no

idk, thats a hard thing to do isnt it? Maybe they will do like the auto industry and so a big jump every like 5 years and just do incremental advancements until then.

Is there any possible way to do iOS 5 on a new iPhone 5? Because roughly 2/3 of the reason I would like to go back to smartphone land from this shitty GoPhone is to have transit maps (I am a carless New Yorker atm).

first world problemzzzzz

oh hi mr cook i didn't know you posted here

;-)

i have an ipad 1 and an 8gb iphone 4 and i keep having nightmares that my phones completely obsolete now

I forgot about the iPad 1 thing. It's a pisser, because it means you can't iMessage from your phone number on those.

this would be a pisser if imessage weren't a worhtless piece o crap.

i cant figure out how to use it to send texts to friends with iPhones

it should be automatic (when you try and send a regular text) if they've got it switched on? but i switched it off and recommend everyone do the same since a messaging system that is known to often fail to deliver messages without any error or notification is worse than useless.

iMessage has never failed on me tbf.

Happened to me once, once is enough. And how do you know, anyway! Maybe someone sent you a message that never got through that they never told you about.

Texts are close to unlimited on most iPhone plans in the UK anyway. The only thing I like about iMessage is being able to see when the other person has started typing a reply.

I really like being able to send and receive on the mac, using my phone number.

I use iMessage all the time

imessage is awesome cuz i can text friends in foreign countries w/o paying, that alone is A++++ bestest

plus group message threads can be quite useful

s1ocki otm, international texting rates are dumb

game-changer
