New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

what is the preferred german method of payment

Weird porn.

i HAVE TO move to berlin

what advantage does chip and sig have over just sig?

also what is the two pins thing? i have one pin and its the same whether i'm at the 'ole in the wall getting out my dickvandollars or i'm authorising a payment for my blood sossidge with a merchant. where does the second pin come into it?

Chip is more secure than a stripe I think

Second pin = implication you might have to remember more than just your debit card pin (your chip credit cards would all have a pin too) but I guess you could go with one pin for everything

I used Apple Pay to pay for some on-phone shit today and it almost felt too easy to spend money, which I think is the idea

how about just do one pin, that is more secure than a signature box you could literally draw a picture of your dick in and no one would ever complain

would gladly sign up for a chip-and-dick-drawing system

do ppl really put lunches, metrocards, etc on their credit cards? i use my debit card for everything, so only one PIN to remember innit

of course with contactless there's no PIN required

Well, this is officially the first iPhone I have broken! Don't drop it screen-down directly on a rock. It's usable but I have AppleCare plus sooo a new one is in my future. Well, as soon as I'm near a Apple Store, which could take a few days.

rip

You're dropping it screen-down on a rock wrong.

sorry.

do ppl really put lunches, metrocards, etc on their credit cards?

If you have a CC that generates frequent flyers miles, then hell yes. I pay just about everything (utilities, groceries, everything except my CC bill) with a CC and have generated enough miles in two years for three free round trip tickets to NYC and another to Seattle.

the whole cash back thing is a huge incentive to use CC, since you're gonna spend that money anyway, might as well get the piddly 1% or whatever refund

A few years ago my friends and I started a bank. When we began technical integration with our card processor, I asked to receive signatures (my coworker thought it’d be neat to display them alongside your transactions). I learned they never stored or even received them the network. Either the point-of-sale isn’t sending signatures over the network, our network (Visa) was dropping the signatures before they were received by our processor, or our processor received signatures but weren’t storing them. I suspect it’s a combination of the three across the networks and processors. If that’s the case, it’s rendered signatures completely useless.

lol n00b bank starting assumption dude

etaeoe: did you work for s1mpl3?

i had been about to join that some time back

held a iphone 6 for the first time yday and

1) was SHOCKED it wasn't the 6+ — jesus this thing is big
2) kinda felt like what imagine android phones feel and look like?
3) seemed flimsy
4) my iphone 5 is so much nicer and compact looking and all black

I do think the look of the iphone vs Samsung phones have kind of converged, and I wish they were a little more distinguishable

i've handled a 6 and 6+ now and am far far more happy with my 5s at the moment

apple heading downhill :(

nah, doubt it. The 6 is great.

Apple's gonna have an extremely reliable revenue stream in the iPhone for probably at least the next 5 years I wouldn't worry

I think Apple Pay is gonna be a pretty big thing tbh, and as stated above I think the watch is going to be a hit too. I'm kind of scratching my head about whatever they're doing with tablets though.

My wife has the 5s and I have the 6 and the only reason I could imagine preferring the former is having smaller hands.

Like the thinness really does make a huge difference in adapting to the size, it becomes comfortable very quickly.

iphone 6 from an aesthetic standpoint is def a huge step down, not that thats nearly the most important thing abt a phone but kinda weird from a company thats been historically so detail oriented w this stuff

Feel like when it's so big but also so thin you're just not gonna have a lot of room for aesthetic detail

Like it's just a screen + laser curlicues on the metal

dont have one in front of me rite now but iirc things which offended my delicate sensibilities: how it bulges out from the sides instead of gently sloping away like the early iphones/pods, the visible antena lines all over the back, the raised camera lens, generally looks like its made out of clay

the metal they used gives me no particular uplifting vibes either, whole phone feels kinda cheap, kinda baseline

Agree that the part-glass back on the 5 was a great touch

4 had the glass back m8

5 also had glass on the back................... m8

But yeah 4 is probably my fav iphone design (even though I never had one)

oh the lil part at the top and bottom did not realize that was glass tbh

imo tho putting stuff that can shatter where its not nes is not a great idea

i like the 5 better than the 4, 4 looks a lil chunky imo, my fav ever tho is the old touch

feels so nice in the hand

obv easier to make it thin cause of not needing phone components still v dope tho

yeah iPod touch has always been the winner heft/thickness wise

Curved metal back of the old Touch was very nice, I had one

It was stainless steel right

making the edge bevel out like that is such a cheap ass way to cram more stuff in, youre better than that apple smh

ew

I actually liked the 4s aesthetically more than the 5/5s. The 5's proportions always looked a little funny to me.

I had the white one and I liked the way the metal sides looked on the white.

The curves are slightly doofy. I like the way the face looks though -- pure blackness when off, pure screen when on

always been the winner heft/thickness wise

I may be overthinking this.
