dont want to spend the moneyyyyyyyyy

should have thought of that before you got into bed with steve jobs

$50 for repairs, $199 for a new iPhone 4, assuming it really has been 2 years

you doubt me?!

eh it still works so probably i will do what i always do which is just use it until it really breaks even tho it has a gross ugly broken screen now

Well, I would say "2 years" if I'd bought it in mid-December 2008, but by actual time, that is 1 year, 11 months and some change.

well i bought it in sept 2008 so so there

$199 for a new iPhone 4

+ 2yr contract?

Some friends insist that you're actually losing money if you don't upgrade your phone as soon as your carrier will subsidize a new one, since part of your monthly bill is basically paying for that subsidy.

haha that is the kind of thing my dad says

Yeah, don't do it if you have any inclination to switch carriers, though.

I say all this from a guy who was off-contract for like three years and bought his own phones, so ymmv

is the supposed verizon-apple deal coming soon

new year allegedly

(i just alleged it)

maybe itll be worth it to just stick it out then

meh, i didnt feel like paying $199 for the 4, i just upgraded to a refurb 3gs for $20

and if it shits the bed, it was only $20

verizon thing might actually be happening early next year, so its probably not a bad idea to wait. i havent bought an iphone yet, but ill probably go for it next summer after iphone 5 comes out

verizon thing IS happening, btw. friend of mine works for A Company (not apple) and one of his coworkers was at a factory in china and saw the verizon iphones being made

MAX pro-tip DO NOT BUY IPHONE 4. pls pls wait for the 4G version

verizon are retards fwiw

improved camera alone has been worth the upgrade to iPhone 4, IMO

Yep, and the display is ridiculously high-res.

And the 512Mb memory. It's basically better than an iPad.

probably what's going to happen is the glass shards are gonna lacerate your femoral artery and you will bleed to death

wont i be waiting, like... forever?

btw buying phones in this country is such a fucking drag

4g is not really 4g. T-mo's 4g? Same tech as at&t's 3G. Sprint's? Marginally faster, but works on few phones and their coverage is ~

I think the official 4g spec is another factor faster than anything anyone is using the branding for.

is there any way to make new itunes look less ugly

hit it from behind

the icon, or the actual program? app looks basically hte same

max, just operate it only via the Remote app on an iPhone or iPad.

app does not look basically the same unless you are blind

also lol crhis

i AM blind fuck u

will it b hard 4 u 2 b a surgeon

two things u can do:

the latest version of iTunes has a checkbox to turn Ping off in the preferences

or however that sentence is supposed to read

if there's one thing this thread has established it's that we don't like the checkboxes in itunes

yeah, i turned ping off but then it just leaves arrows to the itunes store

you can make those arrows more useful so they take you to the relvant "page" in your own library by either holding alt when you click them or using some command line thing to make the alt behaviour the default

first thing i do on a new install, after i uncheck all the songs

yeah i just did that from your links thanks

the only thing that is really bugging me now is the insanely ugly volume slider

defaults write com.apple.iTunes special-slider-just-for-max -boolean YES

speaking of which i just did a software update and it totally f'd up my dock settings (no reflective tray garbage, hidden apps get greyed out)

put your dock on the side you gigantic ninny
