New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

Is there any possible way to do iOS 5 on a new iPhone 5? Because roughly 2/3 of the reason I would like to go back to smartphone land from this shitty GoPhone is to have transit maps (I am a carless New Yorker atm).

first world problemzzzzz

oh hi mr cook i didn't know you posted here

;-)

i have an ipad 1 and an 8gb iphone 4 and i keep having nightmares that my phones completely obsolete now

I forgot about the iPad 1 thing. It's a pisser, because it means you can't iMessage from your phone number on those.

this would be a pisser if imessage weren't a worhtless piece o crap.

i cant figure out how to use it to send texts to friends with iPhones

it should be automatic (when you try and send a regular text) if they've got it switched on? but i switched it off and recommend everyone do the same since a messaging system that is known to often fail to deliver messages without any error or notification is worse than useless.

iMessage has never failed on me tbf.

Happened to me once, once is enough. And how do you know, anyway! Maybe someone sent you a message that never got through that they never told you about.

Texts are close to unlimited on most iPhone plans in the UK anyway. The only thing I like about iMessage is being able to see when the other person has started typing a reply.

I really like being able to send and receive on the mac, using my phone number.

I use iMessage all the time

imessage is awesome cuz i can text friends in foreign countries w/o paying, that alone is A++++ bestest

plus group message threads can be quite useful

s1ocki otm, international texting rates are dumb

game-changer

cell phone pricing plans are dumb

everything is dumb

you know what else is dumb? my mom

i thought she was pretty smart

Hate to think what his masturbation diary is like.

passbook still doesn't work. 'can't connect to itunes store' error for days now. that setting-the-time-ahead-a-year-and-back-again trick does nothing. what i am trying to say here is lol.

oh god, that link

just looking at a gallery of pics of people celebrating buying the iphone, all the genuses are arrayed in a gauntlet cheering them on, real weird shit

Wow, that actually is kinda like

3. The rep then encourages you to open your iPhone and shares in your excitement.

It's late and I'm drunk, but that link really upset me. How can a person have lived in such a fucking vacuum that this is such a big deal to him? I really want to track down the at&t store guy and just give him a little hug for dealing with a shit job he probably hates like any normal person would. Fuck these coddled overgrown grubery cunts.

Although I can see why he thinks apple owes him.

when I got my 4, I picked it up at the store and the sales rep tried to behave as if he was guiding me through a religious experience, to the point where he placed the box in front of me and encouraged me to open it, then wanted me to sit there and bask in the phone's glory

I basically looked at him like he was insane and plugged the phone into his laptop so I could set it up and get the fuck out of there; this time I'm having it delivered so I don't have to deal with that shit (though it's not getting here until October; fair trade-off IMO)

ppl like the dude who wrote that blog are the fucking worst and if I could figure out how to make money punching them all in the face while singing I would have discovered my dream job

when I got my first ipad from an apple store, the bloke who served me was ~properly creepy~, to the point that I had to encourage him to settle the fuck down

Misses the very best part of this whole story!!!:

http://arstechnica.com/apple/2009/08/ipod-repair-scammer-hit-with-restitution-jail-time/

tbf its more of a pocket computer than a phone, so its understandable

ppl like the dude who wrote that blog are the fucking worst and if I could figure out how to make money punching them all in the face while singing I would have discovered my dream job

imo this sounds more like a spiritual calling than a job

More pics pls

my iphone 5 stayed in its sealed courier bag for most of the day, I mentioned it off-hand to someone and three people were like WHAT WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT

i.e.

IT IS A PHONE YOU DICKS

holy shit re: scammer dude

hahahahahahahahahaha

that guy is being totally overdramatic, but i partially agree with what he's saying in that a big part of the Apple fetish is their boxing. but expecting the sales guy to watch you open the package and beam good vibrations is hilarious

Apple store dude tried to do that with my iPad 1. And dropped it. Can't imagine how this guy would have handled that

In 1997 when I went into GAME and said "I'd like an N64 with Mariokart and Mario64 please" the lad behind the counter tried to give me a high five. I'm afraid left him hanging.

jim you cold as ice

is it possible to believe Apple are shipping iphones in this state
http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/24/3381464/iphone-5-scuff-photos#3864013

very probably, if they're having to meet insane targets of 4867438378953 units per day

i don't understand how they can despoil the excitement like this

fwiw I think they'll all scuff and ultimately just look loved/worn like the old ipods xp

mine was fine out of the box, one or two tiny tiny barely perceptible dings on the top, but tbh I could have done those myself
