New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

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

was kind of expecting a lytro-style refocus thing but maybe that's patent encumbered

we used to have a photographer at work and he would constantly say how photographers will just use smartphones to shoot, because lens, app capabilities, and price make more sense

it does look pretty

xp

iPhone plus camera looks sick as fuck. So don't want a big phone but damn.

but if this thing doesn't have headphone jack...ugh...i can't even go for the blackphone 2 because it's sslow now compared to these new phones

i can get used to lightning

Adapter in the box

"free"

COURAGE

lol

COURAGE FOR APPLE IPHONE

http://i.imgur.com/7luW1R0.jpg

courage to lock yr expensive headphones to the apple devices

Is it going to be possible to make an adapter device that splits to lightning and analog audio?

wow this entire thing leaked entirely i guess?

gonna think of it as a condom for my headphones or car stuff

I think the product apple makes best are these presentation videos, so slick

Oh fuck no, fuck these airpods.

One thing wires do is keep you from losing your shit. Hope replacement EarHolePods are cheap.

hahahaha 5 hours

Do like the sound of the one-touch set-up across all devices. The kind of thing Apple used to impress with.

i do ~a third of my reading on an iPad and take it on trips (bigger screen nicer for maps, googling somewhere to eat nearby) but otherwise yeah kind of a weird product. the one i have is so slow though it's useless for anything else

Ohhhhh I see you have to buy the beats bullshit to get usable headphones. The camera had me leaning toward an iphone but this shit is pissing me off.

agree the one-touch setup is smart though, xp

no mention of bluetooth, hrrm

proprietary?

i use my ipad for seamless and that's literally it

dude bluetooth still works btw

airpod designers obviously do not have kids

if they work on macs and ipads then it's using bluetooth chips presumably with some bells and whistles in the protocol to obviate pairing

hmm possibly

I haven't kept up, but the main complaint was people thinking the codecs apple supported were too lossy and aptX or w/e was better, but apple wasn't supporting that. it's possible they're using bluetooth and their own lossless codec or something

i'm so glad they chose to soft transition us into airpods (not liking apple's proprietary streak but it is what it is)

i'm pretty much content and will prob buy one unless some major crappy feature is announced

one thing I will say is that this is a much more interesting launch than the 6, which was basically "It's really thin!"

(and bigger)

So there's pretty much not going to be a way to charge while using wired headphones, right?

If they're anything like the Bragi Dash buds they use Bluetooth to connect to device but near-field magnetic induction (NFMI) to connect to each other.

400 flying monkeys!

The headphone jack thing really does annoy me. The adapter seems clumsy and easy to lose. I don't want to buy new lightning headphones, I have no interest in using wireless headphones, and I definitely am not going in for earpods or garbage-ass Beats proprietary headphones.

man alive i love to follow along with your internal monologue!

And I'm definitely not relying on the earbuds they provide.

liveblogging my tortured relationship with the iPhone

Like how do you connect the Beats to any other source? macs? Do they have a cable slot? Fuck buying dedicated phone headphones
