New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

They are never to be removed from your ears.

really just throw one of them in the trash right out of the box

Comply foams work really well but they go stale more rapidly than I would like. And get gross well in advance of that.

When I do wear buds I use those silicone tips with the three flanges but I cut off the littlest end flange.

the etymotics ones, also very good

with my headphones buying problem I should start taking bets on how many new headphones I buy now. urgh.

yeah, it's a phone in your pants pocket; at what thinness will a phone not give you an outline?

iphone air

talk to the hand

guys what's gonna happen today!!!

today's the day they finally release the apple watch that turns your thumb and pinky into a phone receiver

i will happily buy older iphone models as long as apple continues to sell them but as soon as they are gone and only jack-less iphones are available i am out

Hmm maybe I'll just get a reduced price 6S instead of a 7. Need to see what it has.

This is def one of those moments where I'm not sure if I *think* the no-headphone-jack thing is going to hurt Apple or I just want it to.

Like I have been wrong about them so many times before so IDK.

it's not going to hurt them

Jason Snell is right about the adaptor bit: $29 if they're saying "fuck you", $19 if they know this is shit, in the box if they're bricking it

who is jason snell and why are these arbitrary numbers important

took me a second to parse that sentence, "bricking" next to a reference to an electronic device spins some different wheels in my brain

here is your new iPhone, we pre-bricked it for you. it is an unusable, unrestorable lump.

jason snell is former macuser editor now writes an electronic publication at sixcolors.org or something. those prices are typical Apple adapter tiers for "necessary because we yanked a vital port" and "why are you still using this port you dicks?"

the ethernet adapter is $29, kind of lines up w/theory

btw if you're stuck in a place where you have to use a wired connection and are a masochist, the newer "camera connection kit" (pretty bullshit they still sell it as this) lets you run powered usb devices connected to an iPad, namely the usb ethernet adapter

I'm rather stoked about a 256GB offering, in piano black or otherwise.

Legit excited about mario

yessssssss

set price, hero.

jesus can you imagine how bad real time collaboration in pages is going to be.

impossibly bad software product problem even when offline, of the kind apple has demonstrated no aptitude for in the past 10 years + you also need to understand the internet

lol

the apple twitter account has been tweeting (and deleting) a bunch of details about the new iphone

lol yes, and amazon launched the iphone 7 store

lol they probably have it scripted to tweet details as they're unveiled and someone hit the button early

wonder if they'll go back to having a dormant account after botching twitter

Yeah that was the opposite of enticing.

to be good it needs them to reacquire a skill they lost ~10 years ago, plus learn a new skill they have failed to acquire despite 10 years of trying. it's going to suuuuuuuuuuuck.

This seems to be deliberate - Verge had the story too. Seems to be embargoed briefings timed for during keynote for first time xp

After flipping my shit after first hearing it I'm finally coming around to the no headphone jack thing. only thing that is weird to me is 'earbuds' will now just look like you're wearing ear plugs and you'll have to use both hands and stick your fingers deep into your ear to take them off. seems nasty lol. also not putting them in the box with the phone is such a ballsy risk to take on top of what's already a kinda crazy idea

They've deleted the tweets; it was a fuckup

they can sell apple watch to all those people who couldn't get their hands on that bluetooth pokemon band

I think I may not pre-order and sit on the decision a bit. Not loving this concept.

no noticeable effect in either direction on the stock price, fwiw, probably bc not many surprises.

could give 1x shit about headphone jack

could give 1x shit about water resistance

lol

hermes models

some trying to make the watch happen, apple

p much no interest in the apple watch

apple watch so bad

been wondering if a hardened ceramic phone would happen eventually, maybe next year?

does this guy have an accent

that thing about here's how to make your nature hike more fidgety and anxiety-riddled was so offputting

swimmable now though, so triathletes will want it

as if triathletes weren't already the worst xunts going

waiting for the nikelab apple watch collabos
