New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

maybe this will convince me to ditch my ultra rare limited edition ipad 3 aka the new ipad

i'm gonna be a pedant and say that verizon iphone 5's were unlocked on 3G frequencies only, i think you still had to get them unlocked for LTE (and since verizon's LTE is the one most commonly used in other countries, verizon was the phone to get). would be great if verizon really did unlock the LTE bands too

i'm sort of mad because the unlocked iphone that apple sold last year ended up being the AT&T model, which means that it's useless for LTE in p much every country except the US

yeah I only used my 5 on 3g this summer in france & spain; france barely has LTE at this point so whatever, and their 3g seemed less shitty than what I'm used to here (though maybe that was the txakoli talking)

yeah my impression is that 3g in much of europe is faster than whatever at&t are calling "4g" here

3g in london is certainly much faster than anything i've ever gotten in nyc

shhhh tim cook is talking

tim cook sounds like mr rogers?

hey guys did you hear abt these new iphones

Cook is tripping over his words a shitload. What happened to those famous month-long rehearsals?

tim cook publicly shaming hurting right now, wants to know why he isn't on ios7

apparently tim posts here as "markers"

re: verizon and int'l unlock

MY UNDERSTANDING is that phones bought from verizon on contract need to be unlocked for use internationally (i.e. w/ new sim cards—you can use them in foreign countries on your american sim card if you are a russian plutocrat or a walton). but the unlock process is extremely easy: you just need to be a customer "in good standing" i.e. no outstanding bills and have been w/ verizon for at least 6 months, and you can call and ask them to unlock for you.

MY EXPERIENCE is that before i went to iceland in may i called and the verizon guy was like "oh i dont need to unlock this for you its already unlocked!" and then i WENT to iceland and of course the phone WAS NOT unlocked, and did not work with my new icelandic sim, and i needed to put my american sim in, spend $10 to call verizon in the US and have them unlock it, and then it did work.

(this was all with a 4S.)

when i bought my new 5S verizon sent it to me already unlocked for use internationally. when i tried to do the same w/ my girlfriends phone, which we had never used internationally and never unlocked, the site wouldnt let me--i was told you need to call verizon to have that phone number unlocked for intl use

i think you need go to iceland again w/ your 5s, just to confirm

yes please do, that post was quite confusing

buy your phone from verizon and then call them and double-confirm that the phone is unlocked to use internationally, is what im saying

i hope you're kidding. b/c of the whole "I LOVE MY MAC" phil schiller as steve ballmer thing or w/e

although this is a little something

flipboard ceo in the audience

stoked for the EU antitrust investigation

hahaha

at an unbelievable price

Apple should use some of their billions in cash to get Microsoft to update Office for Mac. Much as I hate Windows 8, the 2013 Office redesign works really well.
