lol remember when you asked siri where the iphone was assembled and she would say 'I can't tell you that'.

mine's in korea already

oh man

guys i have your iphones

damn it

all the iphones

you monster

i need them

does anyone actually like the gold 5S? plz out yourself so I can laugh at you and your tacky aesthetic

I just got notified it's left Korea, thank you for releasing it

I went with the black one, but I saw a gold one in the apple shop and didn't hate it

I dress like dame edna tho so idk

I thought of the gold iPhone this weekend. My friend's wife has to use a walker after having been in the hospital and as a gift, he painted it gold.

the fb friends of mine who are excited about the gold iphone are not people I would ever go to for style advice

Max what size/ color did you go with?

Max carries around a hunk of solid gold in the shape of an iPhone

silby otm

(64gb black/silver)

i prefer the regular 5 dark-grey metallic back to the 5s silver back, but not a big deal. well see if the 64gb ends up being as worth it as im hoping

32gb space grey here

I will cry and wish I had 64gb again when I fill it up with selfies

IMO there is never a reason to get less than the max storage capacity; you will find a use for it regardless unless you are specifically attempting to limit yourself from doing certain things with your phone/iPad

Agree. Mine is mainly filled with offline spotify playlists.

I had my iPhone fairly full but tbh I've barely had my 64gb one above 30gb for the past year, so.. eh

I do own a 64GB iPad though

now I'm feeling like I've made a horrible mistake, thanks guys

well my work here is done

I have a 16GB 5S - I don't put any music or video on the phone, so I've never come close to filling one.

^^ weirdo

i went with silver/white 64GB too. only so much space because ive had the worst time with 32gb ipadfs and 16gb phones like having to delete stuff to make room for updates etc. not interested in 2 more years of that.

i probably would have been okay with 32gb. kind of ordering some space luxury here.

I saw a coworker with the slate/space grey whatever and it did look really good. kind of gave off a blue sheen.

it does look nice but I prefer the black 5

I hope the bring black back for the 6

i'm wondering if changing to space gray, and introducing champange, is related to the ease of anodizing the aluminum... the 5 black was very scratch prone

am i the only one who mostly considers covers when picking a phone color? i mean im not crazy about the gold but to me its the worst because what cover is going to look good with that? whereas silver/white and black are okay with a ton of stuff.

I only got a cover for my 5 after I broke the glass on front, so my original choice was solely based on the phone itself

this is the cover I ended up getting:

I had a 16gb 4 and just got a 16gb 5s - 90% of what I have on it is music and podcasts and i can't fit my entire collection anyway so it doesn't really phase me if I carry only 5% around instead of 20%.

max why do you get 64gb i thought you only listen to spotify and itunes match?

iTunes match downloads instead of streaming iirc?

he probably has been taking long videos for possible revival of gawker stalker

i d/l itunes match stuff so i can listen on the subway, and sync some videos to plex also for the subway, also take a ton of photos/video

I'm thinking the same way, but it's percisely that reason I'm holding out for a gold 5S. The cases i'm considering cover up the back and side, so the only place you'll see gold is on the chamfered front rim and the ring surrounding the home button/fingerprint scanner. It's a very subtle difference from the white/silver 5S - both are predominantly white in front - but I like the look of having those accents in champagne gold instead of the usual chrome.

I'm going 64gb, afraid that new burst-mode camera could chew up memory fast if I don't habitually delete the extra shots quickly

ios7's swipe-from-the-edge standard is so intuitive that i expect everything to do it now

i'm mixed on that one - don't like how you have potentially interfering commands w/swipe from middle vs. swipe from top (see: spotlight vs. notification center) especially on the small phone screen

swipe-to-the-right v swipe-from-the-left-edge seem pretty distinct, but yeah, plenty of fine tuning needs to happen. the shift key doesn't fire for me most of the time, and tapping stuff in the control centre is a crap shoot too.

pause button in the control centre always takes at least 2 taps for me on a 5

Just entered the Mavericks Zone. So far not as jarring as 7

Yeah I have to hammer on the pause button a lot which is pretty annoying. And swiping up never seems to work while I'm texting or have the keyboard visible.

Also my wife mentioned yesterday that she's gotten so used to the thumbprint unlocking that she holds her thumb there at other times expecting her phone to read her mind and do something

haha
