They seem to have this new strategy of releasing two phones at the same time where one satisfies most people and the other is something almost no one wants.

I'm curious which one you think no one wants.

fuck Apple

Now that I've had an Android for almost a year, I don't think I'll go back. I'd originally said I would when iPhone had a bigger display, because they definitely have the better selection of apps and the better o/s, but now I'm totally used to the Android environment and the urgency to switch back has pretty much evaporated.

I'd be fine with android I think except apparently the os creates insurmountable latency issues with synth apps? and I am hopelessly addicted to making music on the train etc.

Was Gruber right??

One outta two ain't bad

I was hoping for a lil' warmup like a new Mac Mini

oh funny one of my old college friends is doing the wired liveblog

Lol fuck Apple for not making 32GB the default and instead having a weird jump from 16 -> 64

oh funny one of my old college friends is apparently the editor of wired.com

i dont really keep up with people

I've been SMH for the last two years, Apple not making a bigger iPhone. Millions of people globally made their first smartphone purchase an Android phone specifically to get a larger screen, and most of those will likely stick with it for the rest of their lives. I use iOS, but also Windows on my laptop, not because I think it's better than a Mac (it's not) but because I don't feel like learning a new OS.

None of the live feeds (including Apple's) are working for me. Can anyone point me to one that is?

more like live peed

Seems weirdly punitive out of context

more like live feed u capitalist lies

wait so the base level with contract is $199 for bigger screen and doodads and the exact same storage as the iphone 5? wtf

I feel like I'm the last person in the world who doesn't like the trend towards ever larger phones. Do most people not put their phones into their pants pockets anymore?

It is sort of amazing how many phone models Apple has now committed to producing that seem to exist for no other reason than to drive people toward the more expensive concurrent models.

I just wear super baggy pants and use my ipad as my phone

xp re: 16GB > 64GB jump (and, last time, iPhone 5C)

Is anyone without an MBA interested in Apple Pay?

You can fit an iPad Mini into a man's pants pocket, I don't think any of these phones will be a problem

don't you guys all store stuff in the cloud, I have no idea how much space my phone even has

At least they're not nervy enough to charge $100 for a 16gb memory upgrade again. A 16gb USB stick costs what, $8?

it wld be cool to not have to carry a wallet at all at some point in the distant future but obvs as presented today this is irrelevant to p much everyone paying for things is not hard and doesnt need to be disrupted

taking out your wallet to pay for something and taking out your phone to pay for something is basically the same amount of effort

if only there were another way...a wearable way perhaps....

Oh shit a watch

tho if u can buy things online just by touching yr home button w/o having to enter any info that is pretty useful

taking out your wallet to pay for something and taking out your phone to pay for something is basically the same amount of effort

I'd argue more:

1. pull out phone
2. unlock phone
3. open app
4. choose card

vs.

1. pull out wallet
2. choose card

eh

This is the ugliest watch I have ever seen

ok. wtf.

It's precise — synced to the universal time standard. You can customize (we don't know how yet).

over tcp/ip. lol.

pretty much just looks like that pebble or whatever it was called

I have a watch. I quit wearing it when the battery died because I realized I had a perfectly fine clock on my phone. I might get the battery replaced at some point, but I kind of don't miss my watch these days. Good luck with that, Apple.

h8 wearing watches

h8 time
