New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

who is jason snell and why are these arbitrary numbers important

took me a second to parse that sentence, "bricking" next to a reference to an electronic device spins some different wheels in my brain

here is your new iPhone, we pre-bricked it for you. it is an unusable, unrestorable lump.

jason snell is former macuser editor now writes an electronic publication at sixcolors.org or something. those prices are typical Apple adapter tiers for "necessary because we yanked a vital port" and "why are you still using this port you dicks?"

the ethernet adapter is $29, kind of lines up w/theory

btw if you're stuck in a place where you have to use a wired connection and are a masochist, the newer "camera connection kit" (pretty bullshit they still sell it as this) lets you run powered usb devices connected to an iPad, namely the usb ethernet adapter

I'm rather stoked about a 256GB offering, in piano black or otherwise.

Legit excited about mario

yessssssss

set price, hero.

jesus can you imagine how bad real time collaboration in pages is going to be.

impossibly bad software product problem even when offline, of the kind apple has demonstrated no aptitude for in the past 10 years + you also need to understand the internet

lol

the apple twitter account has been tweeting (and deleting) a bunch of details about the new iphone

lol yes, and amazon launched the iphone 7 store

lol they probably have it scripted to tweet details as they're unveiled and someone hit the button early

wonder if they'll go back to having a dormant account after botching twitter

Yeah that was the opposite of enticing.

to be good it needs them to reacquire a skill they lost ~10 years ago, plus learn a new skill they have failed to acquire despite 10 years of trying. it's going to suuuuuuuuuuuck.

This seems to be deliberate - Verge had the story too. Seems to be embargoed briefings timed for during keynote for first time xp

After flipping my shit after first hearing it I'm finally coming around to the no headphone jack thing. only thing that is weird to me is 'earbuds' will now just look like you're wearing ear plugs and you'll have to use both hands and stick your fingers deep into your ear to take them off. seems nasty lol. also not putting them in the box with the phone is such a ballsy risk to take on top of what's already a kinda crazy idea

They've deleted the tweets; it was a fuckup

they can sell apple watch to all those people who couldn't get their hands on that bluetooth pokemon band

I think I may not pre-order and sit on the decision a bit. Not loving this concept.

no noticeable effect in either direction on the stock price, fwiw, probably bc not many surprises.

could give 1x shit about headphone jack

could give 1x shit about water resistance

lol

hermes models

some trying to make the watch happen, apple

p much no interest in the apple watch

apple watch so bad

been wondering if a hardened ceramic phone would happen eventually, maybe next year?

does this guy have an accent

that thing about here's how to make your nature hike more fidgety and anxiety-riddled was so offputting

swimmable now though, so triathletes will want it

as if triathletes weren't already the worst xunts going

waiting for the nikelab apple watch collabos

argh this thing is so creepy hal about running

could never get with the apple watch cos it sticks out so far.

apple watch is dumb and awful

ya it seems bad

idk nothing apple builds makes me feel disgust or enthusiasm anymore

everything seems fine, if you want that kind of product, the apple one's fine

this video seems pretty

ok maybe the weird off-center charging things where they show the pencil sticking out of the end of an ipad or that dumb mouse with the charging port in the middle of the bottom. those are ridiculous

what is the bluetooth solution for avoiding weirdo interaction thru visible earphone cables

one apple thing i've never cared for is the ipad -- but i totally don't get tablets at all

been wondering if a hardened ceramic phone would happen eventually, maybe next year?

if u mean in general then oneplus did one last year

yeah, noticed that after I posted. guess my friend has one, I bet it's... fine

We've had three different iPads in my house and I pretty much never use them. There is virtually no task that doesn't make more sense to do either on my phone or on my laptop.

spotify is best on an ipad imo

We occasionally have K do "educational apps" on the iPad but I fucking hate them and feel like they actually make her lazier.

Shit this camera on the plus looks magic. Sorry headphones rip
