The Wide, Wide World of Apple

[Josephus]

Just upgraded my 4 to a 6 yesterday

Well?

Sorry...missed this.

Well, it's a huge upgrade really. Teh most noticeable thing is the difference in speed. Obviously it's bigger too.

My old 4 also couldn't handle the newer apps.

I thought for once I'll have the latest model. Had to pay an arm and a leg for it, but I plan on keeping it for a while.

Went and pulled the trigger for the 6 Plus. 

Like Josephus said, the 4s just couldn't keep up with the newer apps, and the poor thing was working too hard with the new iOS, killing the battery like nobody's business.  The days of the 4s being used as anything more than a phone with a nice camera are behind it, I think.

I thought for once I'll have the latest model. Had to pay an arm and a leg for it, but I plan on keeping it for a while.

Yeah, never had the latest and greatest, either.  Since I got the two year contract, the cost of the device is spread over 2 years and even with the full-blown 128GB, it's only about $25 more a month than my 4s, so what they hey.  Should arrive tomorrow.

[CountDeMoney]

OK, this thing is fucking sweet.

[katmai]

OK, this thing is fucking sweet.

I could have told you that.

[CountDeMoney]

Yeah, but you're not always expressive, what with your rugged individualism.

[garbon]

These appleheads be delirious.

And Verizon's still giving me my Shareholder Value, Inc., employee discount.  How's that for sticking it to The Man?  :fistintheair:

Lemme guess: 15%?  They give that discount to pretty much any employer that takes the time to call them up and ask for it.  My mom got a Verizon discount for being part of a union as a deli worker at Pathmark.

Mobile companies seem to be bad about it. My colleague worked at T-Mobile and left almost four years ago. Still has her company phone and discount.

18%.  Fuck yeah.

I'm again pretty impressed with Apple's hype machine. Even for a gadget that looks useless, now very smart and is going to be too expensive they manage to get all news sites to write about their event tonight.





If it's below 3000kr I might get one.

A gold MacBook.

[Barrister]

A maxxed out gold Apple Watch will sell for $10,000.

I want one (well, not the $10,000 gold one), but no way I'm buying a 1st generation apple product.

'HBO Now' exclusively on Apple. That's great news if it means HBO Nordic can be watched on Apple TV now.

It almost certainly doesn't.
