New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

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.

i have my 5c now and think it's the best looking and feeling iphone. the 4s was a great looking thing too but quite vulnerable to damage.

Not beveling out, beveling in. There was some empty space in there

btw they can swap the glass on an iPhone 6 in store now, takes like 45 minutes. I just kept checking for open reservations as we rolled past Chicago suburbs and got in

Something is weird with the photo above, does not look like mine. Finish is too dull, missing parts.

Must be a prototype or something. Tineye says the image first appeared in May.

they need to replace the gorilla glass with goalrilla hoop backboard glass

Who plays two hours of squash at dinner time

It was different then. never forget.

Had the 6 for a few weeks now and I definitely preferred the 5 as far as how it feels in the hand and the total one thumb screen coverage. 6 feels cheaper, but heavier/denser things usually give the illusion of something feeling more "expensive". The bigger screen is really not a huge draw for me. If there was a 5 sized like the 6, I would be all about it.

6 like 5 rather.

Who plays squash? I thought it was something people did in the movies.

etaeoe: did you work for s1mpl3?

Yeah

rich new england wasps ime xp

it's having a resurgence, gym I go to replaced the basketball court with a squash court bc of this.

messed up

_etaeoe: did you work for s1mpl3?_

Yeah

Cool, happy customer here. For what it's worth.

Agree with circa. The one-handed thing is super-annoying. Trying to navigate/search for something in Spotify with one hand is really frustrating. Maybe devs will migrate the menus to the bottom? The double-tap-the-home-button thing only works for one selection. If the menus for an app are in the upper-left corner, it means every tap takes three taps (two on the home, one on the menu).
