New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

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

cell phone pricing plans are dumb

everything is dumb

you know what else is dumb? my mom

i thought she was pretty smart

Hate to think what his masturbation diary is like.

passbook still doesn't work. 'can't connect to itunes store' error for days now. that setting-the-time-ahead-a-year-and-back-again trick does nothing. what i am trying to say here is lol.

oh god, that link

just looking at a gallery of pics of people celebrating buying the iphone, all the genuses are arrayed in a gauntlet cheering them on, real weird shit

Wow, that actually is kinda like

3. The rep then encourages you to open your iPhone and shares in your excitement.

It's late and I'm drunk, but that link really upset me. How can a person have lived in such a fucking vacuum that this is such a big deal to him? I really want to track down the at&t store guy and just give him a little hug for dealing with a shit job he probably hates like any normal person would. Fuck these coddled overgrown grubery cunts.

Although I can see why he thinks apple owes him.

when I got my 4, I picked it up at the store and the sales rep tried to behave as if he was guiding me through a religious experience, to the point where he placed the box in front of me and encouraged me to open it, then wanted me to sit there and bask in the phone's glory

I basically looked at him like he was insane and plugged the phone into his laptop so I could set it up and get the fuck out of there; this time I'm having it delivered so I don't have to deal with that shit (though it's not getting here until October; fair trade-off IMO)

ppl like the dude who wrote that blog are the fucking worst and if I could figure out how to make money punching them all in the face while singing I would have discovered my dream job

when I got my first ipad from an apple store, the bloke who served me was ~properly creepy~, to the point that I had to encourage him to settle the fuck down

Misses the very best part of this whole story!!!:

http://arstechnica.com/apple/2009/08/ipod-repair-scammer-hit-with-restitution-jail-time/

tbf its more of a pocket computer than a phone, so its understandable

ppl like the dude who wrote that blog are the fucking worst and if I could figure out how to make money punching them all in the face while singing I would have discovered my dream job

imo this sounds more like a spiritual calling than a job
