ta for advice upthread btw folks - it was that internal connecting cable, and girlfriend's laptop has been given a temporary reprieve from the Mac graveyard.

rumor was that they had an update to the 5 form factor in the pipeline for this cycle and killed it. I don't know if that makes me more or less hopeful.

the 5 was kinda the perfect size. but I'm also cool with my 6+
― Spottie, Monday, 28 September 2015 19:20 (eight years ago) link
not only was the 5 the perfect size, it was very light as well, noticably so from the 4 and the 6.
― calstars, Monday, 28 September 2015 20:09 (eight years ago) link
I much prefer reading ilx and twitter on the 6, really good size
― ΞΌpright mammal (mh), Monday, 28 September 2015 20:10 (eight years ago) link
I think they will make a 6c, at 5 sizes, soon. Ther's too much demand for them to ignore it.

^yeah that happened to my parents' charger as well. my mom is always so cautious with that stuff, winding the cord properly around the charger before storage - in this case I think that made it more likely to break (inside). anyway, design is rubbish.

good to hear.
Not very impressed with the camera on the 6/6s; it does a heavy noise reduction which makes skin look all blurred and smeared. I'd noticed it in my own pictures, but hadn't realised how very bad it was until I saw the close-up portrait comparisons on this site. The 4s is miles better, I think

man i just did an iphone update and now "music" is like attempt after attempt to get me to sign up for apple music
― marcos, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 16:36 (eight years ago) link
icons at bottom of "music" rearranged too, idgaf about "radio" or "playlists" i specifically put "artists" "albums" and "genre" there why did you move them apple fuck off
― marcos, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 16:38 (eight years ago) link
like you used to be able to customize how to sort your music, now this useless "@connect" icon is stuck there and i have to do an extra step to sort by genre
― marcos, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 16:41 (eight years ago) link
tbf sort by genre seems like a pretty niche thing to want to do
― π ππ’π¨ (caek), Tuesday, 29 September 2015 16:46 (eight years ago) link
well it nice to be able to choose what tabs appear at the bottom, if i have no use for "radio" or "playlists" or "connect" itd be great to be able to choose something else
― marcos, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 16:49 (eight years ago) link
the "recently added" thing is pretty cool though
"Showing only music on this iPhone. Show All Music"

xp yeah, it's nice. this version is actually a slight improvement over the last one, but still basically the same messed up interface with a bit less crap. i still don't know why the hell it's reversing my playlist orders randomly

Apple is replacing my shattered iPhone for free b/c the last time I dropped it, it also misaligned the Facetime camera, which could be mistaken as a manufacturer's defect. Thanking the kind Genius who made that assessment.
The worst thing about the 6 IMO is how slippery it is. Without a case, I dropped it and cracked screens 3 times (plus numerous other times that made the cracks worse). Never damaged a 4 or 5 b/c they had damn corners.

RELATED: But why oh why is there even an option in the desktop side-menu to view "ALL FILES"? I have hit this thing by accident more than once only to have my iMac stop everything it's doing and gear down to show me all 238902309 files I've amassed on there.
― pplains, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 20:21 (eight years ago) link
it's a more useful view if you sort by last opened
but you can remove it from the sidebar if you don't like it

I do again highly recommend the tech21 case if you're klutzy like me but don't want something as gimpy looking as an otterbox. Has protected my 6 in a number of bad falls.
After having had a 6 for a while now what I actually dislike most about it is just how fucking much I wind up using it/wasting time on it. I upgraded from a 4s, and this is the first phone I've had where I really feel like it's relatively easy to do internet and facebook stuff, and I find myself doing it way too much.

There's something awful about having so many different kinds of distractions in the same portable device. Especially now that you kind of get internet on the subway. As I got off the train this morning I realized that I had actually gotten myself really agitated reading so many different microbursts of news and content and ilx and facebook.

2nd the Tech21 rec. Mine has protected my 5, and now 6, for a bunch of sketchy falls.

I just got a 6s and love it and it's bigness and thinness. Also that it stays charged longer than the mere 8 hours or so my 5s was capable off at the end.
And 64gb too which is mind blowing.
β joygoat, Monday, September 28, 2015 1:58 PM (Yesterday)
^this (tho i have a 6+)
it's funny getting used to the big screen and then trying to use my gf's 5s, like i can't believe that small was ever acceptable

See, that's the thing. It's definitely one of those "don't think about it until I click it" deals.
Like, here I am right now, on the very same computer, typing a lil' message about it, and I'm still not opening a finder window to get rid of it.
Kinda my fault, but WHY PUT IT THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

You guys seen the new iPod touches? Thinner and lighter than any phone and the size of a 5. That's the mini form factor they should go with in the future for the iPhone nano β’

on iOS or OS X?
OS X. But it's been that way for a while, apparently. I use Lightroom, but my wife was in Photos hell for a few hours. Apparently uploading albums (to Flickr) containing more than a few pictures doesn't work.
― schwantz, Monday, 5 October 2015 14:55 (eight years ago) link
I think, when I was still into taking and uploading photos, I bought a pretty nice extension for doing so. Wonder if that's still a thing.

lol all you want but i have finally gotten my family to pay attention to my flickr stream instead of waiting for me to send several MB of photos via email to them and it's pretty f'in annoying (and has been for some time)
there's also no quick way to get photos to save out a smaller version of a photo (i used to use the share... email thing, then choose "medium" size, then drag the image to my desktop - then spread the resulting paste between two intact photos, obv)
