Your biggest concern I think is that the battery will conk out in which case you can pay ~$80 USD or so to get it replaced by Apple

If that happens in all likelihood you'll get a nice refurbished 3GS

Are you sure about the refurbished thing? When my battery conked out and I agreed to pay for another one, they just opened it up and replaced the battery (within an hour or so). Battery replacement is one of the things they have the tools and expertise to do in the back room.

I just got the battery on my 5 replaced after a diagnostic showed that it was malfunctioning badly (it would drain 40% during a 30 minute commute)

xp That's what I've heard but it probably depends on what they have on hand

Sounds like you were unlucky

How much does a battery replacement cost? Mine is wack. Last night it went from 88% to dead

Jeff, Sunday, 8 December 2013 18:03 (ten years ago) link

~$80 out of warranty

SHAUN (DJP), Sunday, 8 December 2013 23:28 (ten years ago) link

my battery has been wack for a bit, took it in, turns out i was a MONTH out of warranty. they gave me half off the replacement after i grovelled though.

well: so a year ago or whatever when they announced the new mac pro, i thought it looked cool enough. now tho i am in the position of actually needing to buy a new mac computer for pro audio + possibly video use and am finding myself just bewildered by what professionals apple thinks they are targeting with this computer. you have to add thousands of dollars in accessories to have even close to the same level of connectivity as one of the towers, what with their preponderance of things i need, like pcie slots and hard drive bays. dammit.

Pulled the trigger on a space grey 5s today. If I'm going to be stuck with a surveillance device it might as well be a tricorder.

classic mouse imo

Tragic mouse.

markers why do you not have apple rechargeable batteries and apple rechargeable battery charger?

aren't those just rebranded eneloops or something

Glad that all my people agree the 5c is a shit trash ugly piece of shit phone

So Apple's genius move is to give it less storage and sell it for more than an iPad mini.

stet, Tuesday, 18 March 2014 09:45 (ten years ago) link

and for a measly £30 less than the 16GB model

no 8GB 5c on US site yet, not sure if these will be available worldwide

Lee626, Tuesday, 18 March 2014 10:08 (ten years ago) link

still have yet to see a chart comparing 5c sales to previous year old models cause thats what its replacing

lag∞n, Tuesday, 18 March 2014 13:26 (ten years ago) link

Apple refuses to publicly break out iPhone sales by model so we can't know for sure. I think the 5c would have sold better if they discontinued the 4S at the same time though.

Lee626, Tuesday, 18 March 2014 13:32 (ten years ago) link

now I want to change to a 5c to be contrarian

have a nice blood (mh), Tuesday, 18 March 2014 13:49 (ten years ago) link

hard to say. the 4S was not only cheaper, but a different form factor, making it more markedly "inferior" compared to previous phone upgrades

i flaked on getting a 5S, guess I'm waiting for the 6 now

Nhex, Tuesday, 18 March 2014 14:12 (ten years ago) link

when they come out with the 6 and its super thin and beautiful i strongly believe they should also offer a thick version with a huge battery that lasts for days

lag∞n, Tuesday, 18 March 2014 14:18 (ten years ago) link

You could just put the thin and beautiful version in one of these:

i have one of the 2009-style imacs that we got in 2012. "about this mac" says it's a "27-inch, mid 2011". should i max out the ram? 'cause it's not that way now.

(i have mocked people for always asking questions like this but fuck it)

my ipad is so much faster and it's a first gen mini

I am guessing you're running Mavericks, right? That would alleviate memory congestion but you're going to see some pauses when it's retiring things in the background as you do more in the foreground.

How many gee bees are in it now?

def mavericks since the day it was out.

and i got 4.

markers, Friday, 28 March 2014 15:58 (ten years ago) link

which is whatever it came with. the second question would be whether to go with apple ram or 3rd party shit, right? i don't know much about the hardware specifics and have never finished an anandtech review.

markers, Friday, 28 March 2014 15:58 (ten years ago) link

yeah, 4gb is sufficient but far from optimal

buy third-party memory

have a nice blood/orange bitters cocktail (mh), Friday, 28 March 2014 16:00 (ten years ago) link

sounds good. thank you. that's what i've spoken to my father about. i'll have to bring it up again.

markers, Friday, 28 March 2014 16:01 (ten years ago) link

Argh, sorry. Just go to there and select Apple -> iMac -> 27" late 2011 and it'll give you a fancy list

have a nice blood/orange bitters cocktail (mh), Friday, 28 March 2014 16:01 (ten years ago) link

oh shit i've never bought anything off this. thank you though. *looks*

markers, Friday, 28 March 2014 16:02 (ten years ago) link

You can easily buy from other sites, too. They're just nice for exchanges/etc since it's the actual memory company.

ok i'm not sure where we went to last time but i bookmarked them. thanks!

lol remember when u cld add memory to yr mac if u wanted too

lag∞n, Friday, 28 March 2014 16:26 (ten years ago) link

use crucial to figure out the specs. use newegg to buy "generic laptop" memory with the same specs for half the price
