New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

wow new iphone so butt

buttprint ID technologie

apparently some of these nerd pedants are trying to make "champagne" happen as a name for the gold one

i'm definitely getting the gold one. it's like comic sans.

champagne sounds too much like pee. i guess phonetically it's not close to pee, but champagne more readily conjures up images of the phone being finished on the assembly line with a thin film of pee than gold does.

i'm getting the black one and having it gold-plated

with gold. i'm going to be drinking champagne, though

champagne for my real friends, pink plastic for my sham friends

funny how they didnt do a black plastic one so if u just want to be low key you have to spend the extra hundo

hah, good point. intentional, likely

also not sure ive seen it mentioned here but a lot of the pundits are speculating that the rumored 'cheap' iphone never materialized cause it would ruin it as an asperational object which sounds about right

kinda think they shd do a five inch screen tho

Screen res fractionating apps tho no good apple bad

5 inch no retina birds angry Jonny ives v neck sweater Clark's

man the pixels will just be a lil bigger no one have a cow

They'll be the Cowsills.

is the new one more grey than the last one cause if so thats lame

it's "space gray" or whatever, which is lighter than "slate"

skeptical it will look as cool

did anyone see the news about cards?

I don't think they've built a cheap iPhone because it'd yoke them into supporting more iOS versions or holding on to support for old hardware in old iOS versions and backward compatibility and supporting multiple platforms is the largest sinkhole in software development

the iboard shopper got awful lazy -- could have done it without repeating icons so many times

certainly wasn't me

lame enough that i posted that shit tbh

iOS 7 feels dangerously close to the user interfaces of everything in IDIOCRACY.

put this one in your butt, this one in your mouth

zero sales as of today, what a failure

http://i.imgur.com/rUJVvfg.jpg

People get so invested in declaring every Apple product a failure before it's even gone on sale. I don't think they've actually had a massive sales disappointment in a long time (did the iPad mini sell ok?) but people keep biting away at them -- the haters are as bad as the fanbois.

all I'm saying is that they made a phone the color of my mother-in-law's old lady car; if that makes me a hater, then so be it

only rick perry can save them now

And a lot of the press and "expert" commentary is so tainted on both ends because the stock is so heavily followed -- i.e. there are a lot of people hoping to make money on them either succeeding or failing.

^yup

DJP, I think that makes you completely normal for North America? I don't think anyone is saying that it's going to be a very popular phone color here.

I'm a little hesistant to go "lol chinese people aesthetics" though

ya lots of people speculating all these new phones aimed squarely at asia

regardless i do think its kinda an interesting move at a time when all phones are p much low key and black slab looking things, there def used to be more variety of colors and whimsy before smartphones

apparently china taiwan japan and singapore all getting the new phones at the u.s. release date for the first time this year

I'm a little hesistant to go "lol chinese people aesthetics" though

this isn't at all what djp was implying fwiw

mh is saying its what mh was implying!

Yeah I didn't feel targeted by that at all

btw if a quick straw poll of my friends is anything to go by, the gold phone is going to be ridiculously popular among middle-aged gay men of color in the US

a small but decisive demographic niche that deserves a football team named after them

those candy-colored iMacs ruled

i miss the whimsy and flair, too. really sick of all this austere braun-a-like understatement.

I will admit tho that the black case makes the 5c look pretty badass

lol that the default 5s case is leather

would totally get a 5c if had color faceplates + allowed you to mix and match
