The markets and the railways don't sleep, and a laptop doesn't fit in my pocket.

 

once again Apple is going to sucker millions in with the "new" phone that has barely anything better about it... same camera, same look, same RAM, same memory....

bigger screen!! (so what, androids already have that)
faster processor!!! (good androids blaze past on bench tests)
better front facing camera!! ( seriously how often do you use that front facing camera??)

i wonder if there will be two versions.. one with siri one without.... so they can squeeze a couple hundred more out of the masses...

did you notice the NEW plug.... now you have to buy NEW adapters to fit all your other *I* stuff... lameola...

 

I've had my iPhone 4 for over 2 years now, and I was able to set it for $290 on Ebay. Who the f*ck cares if the connector has changed, and the phone doesn't wipe your *** for you and all the other BS people are complaining about, it still fits everything I need a phone to do, and does it very well.

And on the Flash comment, Flash is dead. Adobe has already admitted this themselves.

iphones dont get viruses

 

Looks like I'll be joining the group in about 2 weeks. Getting out of the Army and moving back to Cedar Hill. First thing I will do is take the Evo to EvolutionDynamics since my transmission sounds like a can of marbles.

 

Knock on wood lol

 

mos?

i just got out in may. i miss it

 

25u

 

Glad to be back. You get that job?

MAP has been good to me so far.

 

I preordered

 

They did get a Trojan once...

 

Not that I am advocating them but...

bigger screen, yes. Not as big as Androids, but it STILL fits in your front pocket comfortably.

faster processor yup, faster than the A5. And they still come really close with just one CPU versus the nearly 4 most Androids have and still manage to only require you to charge your phone once per week versus 2 times per day just to text.

 

Actually, this one has tons better about it -- 4G, better internals, etc. Hard to take and keep the title of thinnest, most powerful phone on the market without upgrading things, don't you think?

Yes, but theirs are bigger, like a brick is bigger. Where as the additional half inch in the iPhone makes it more phone like and still pocket-friendly.

Two problems here 1) "Good" androids...in a sea of crap ones. 2) How can any android blaze past a phone that hasn't even come out yet? I think you are referring to the older models of the iPhone rather than the 5.

This one is easy to explain. A better front-facing camera may help reduce the epidemic of "bathroom mirror" pics for people who can't do a self-pic any other way. If the front-facing camera takes good photos, they can use that one to shoot pics of...whatever they want to shoot...without standing at the bathroom mirror making the obligatory "duck face."

Also, this gripe would appear to disagree with your first statement where you mentioned the "same camera." It can't be the same, if it's better. The forward-facing camera was already better than most dedicated digital cameras. Now the other one can be as well.

No. Siri will be standard in all of them. There's even rumors they're putting Siri on mac computers.

And they've already explained that new plug. Yes it sucks for those who have a buttload of peripherals, but without that plug (which is faster than the old one), the phone couldn't have been made as thin as it is. The plug allowed for better use of space inside. Personally, I only have to replace one peripheral device...so I could care less. I never saw a need for a buttload of extra crap for.....a *phone*.

 

MAP is nearly the only place I would buy from...

 

It wasn't intended to. After all, haters gonna hate. Hell I didn't give a rat's @$$ about either one until I bought an iPad to use during downtime at work. I'd only previously had experience with the HTC Hero phone with the Android OS (taken back after a month).

Using the iPad was much more intuitive...reponsive too. And syncing with iTunes was a no-brainer since I already had an iPod.


Suit yourself. If a copy of a copy is adequate for your needs, more power to you.
