this upgrade to mavericks did not go very smoothly /:

Noticing more and more lag with iOS7 on my old iPhone 4. I can open up the Messaging app and type out three words before they start actually appearing on the screen, and I'm a slow iPhone typer. It sucks because I would actually like to upgrade but probably shouldn't spend the money but my phone is getting increasingly frustrating.

if you haven't done the update from this week... do it. My wife's 4 was super laggy, and the update seems to have fixed much of it.

I want a fucking iPhone 5S but I don't want a fucking broken gyroscope; did they fucking fix that yet?

if you can afford it, it doesn't hurt to upgrade yr hardware at least every two years or so

apparently ios7 broke the TV out function on ipads? kinda crazy for what is a pretty common presentation device.

Updating the update seemed to help for a day or two but now I'm back to lag on everything. :(

If you take a brand new iPhone 5s (still with the plastic on) to an apple store because the home button is sporadic and they agree to replace it, do they do a back-up and restore and give you a new phone with all your old info and settings on it, or do you have to do that yourself or start from scratch?
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 5 November 2013 14:47 (ten years ago) link
You do that before you take it in.
― Me & Mahomies (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Tuesday, 5 November 2013 14:51 (ten years ago) link
They give you a fresh phone
― mh, Tuesday, 5 November 2013 14:54 (ten years ago) link
But first they give you a wedgie
― 乒乓, Tuesday, 5 November 2013 15:00 (ten years ago) link
maybe it's not working because it's got plastic on it.
― i lost my shoes on acid (jed_), Tuesday, 5 November 2013 19:53 (ten years ago) link
I've thought about that. The plastic doesn't cover the button, I cut it off there so I could use it while I wait to get another plastic cover. But maybe its affecting it somehow, I'll test it when the case arrives.
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 5 November 2013 20:27 (ten years ago) link
wonder if the home button will be a point of failure for the 5S from a defect perspective
had mine about a month and it already seems a little wonky - clicking very loudly when I press it
love the fingerprint reader but I suspect it introduced some new manufacturing quirks

Their margins allow for a reasonable rate of repairs/returns. Let's them use reasonably-proven components without fear of financial ruin should a large recall be needed.

* lets
The home button on my iPad conked out after a few months and they replaced the unit no questions asked, saying it was a very rare fault.
― Alba, Wednesday, 6 November 2013 16:47 (ten years ago) link
how is the new ipad? thinking of picking one up.
― the late great, Wednesday, 6 November 2013 16:55 (ten years ago) link
it's really nice, the old ipad 4 feels big and bloated by comparison

i traded in our family ipad 1 for 200 off the new one at target
http://www.anandtech.com/show/7460/apple-ipad-air-review
new one is about as thick as an iphone
Do you have to spend the $200 on an ipad or is it a generic gift card?
― mh, Wednesday, 6 November 2013 17:03 (ten years ago) link
depends on your target
― 乒乓, Wednesday, 6 November 2013 17:06 (ten years ago) link
they gave me a gift card though. there is nothing wroth spending money on at target so we just got the ipad air
― 乒乓, Wednesday, 6 November 2013 17:07 (ten years ago) link
you could've bought like 25 of these

I could buy groceries
― mh, Wednesday, 6 November 2013 17:14 (ten years ago) link
when they swiped the trade-in card they gave me they had to manually type in the amount that it would deduct. so idk if it was a regular gift card or what
― 乒乓, Wednesday, 6 November 2013 17:15 (ten years ago) link
Wait they gave you $200 off for an ipad 1?? was it ever used?

― woah did you see that hummingbird over there? anyway, meth (sunny successor), Wednesday, 6 November 2013 18:00 (ten years ago) link
thats awesome. i have $400 worth of cracked ipad waiting!!
― woah did you see that hummingbird over there? anyway, meth (sunny successor), Wednesday, 6 November 2013 18:01 (ten years ago) link
they might not take it if the screen is cracked, idk
our ipad was dinged and probably had scratches and stuff but the screen was fine
― 乒乓, Wednesday, 6 November 2013 18:02 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, it specifically says the screen cannot be cracked

STUPID TARGET
i took a bag of garbage to kitchen scraps and they wouldn't give me $25 for it
― caek, Wednesday, 6 November 2013 19:19 (ten years ago) link
Target gave you $200 for the original iPad? Their website is quoting me $75 for a 1st-gen iPad 64GB wifi/3G :-/
― disgruntled punter (Je55e), Wednesday, 6 November 2013 20:09 (ten years ago) link
Yeah they'll do it regardless of what the website says
― 乒乓, Wednesday, 6 November 2013 20:11 (ten years ago) link
Unless you're in chicago
― 乒乓, Wednesday, 6 November 2013 20:12 (ten years ago) link
Read the link -- $200 minimum for all iPads in-store until the 9th
― mh, Wednesday, 6 November 2013 20:12 (ten years ago) link
OH I SEE
Oops. Thank you.
No locations in Chicago. That sucks. I guess it would be worth borrowing a car to drive to a suburb for that deal.
