New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

take away the regular jack. make the lightning bolt fiber optic.

also add LIDAR to the iPhone already it's 2014

or at least add a visible laser for my cat

haha this will be enough to push me into getting a shitty flip phone and a sandisk mp3 player. i'm too poor for this bullshit.

mh I didn't know that! Thanks.

Xpost I already made that switch to the forty buck sandisk player just last month when my iPod 160 corrupted itself for the billionth time. This thing is great, u can replace the firmware with rockbox in like 3 minutes and have a bunch of micro sd sub-libraries in your wallet. Plays any type of file you throw at it too.

will it play my old lode runner saved game files?

Man given some of the new view APIs in iOS 8 there is 100% likelihood of a big iPhone next up

If they don't put out a 5s sized version of the 6 with feature parity with whatever phabletesque monstrosity the market is forcing them to put out I will be cheesed off.

otm, iphone 5 is perfect size. read something that said bigass phones are favored by people who don't want to buy both a tablet & a phone & I thought c'mon we're talking about APPLE customers here

big ass phones are especially popular with people for whom its their only device

doesnt exactly seem like the apple demo but the world is changing who knows

also like u shd see my dad use his iphone he squints then pokes at it like hes just praying to hit something, its too small for him

he's acting

just wants to make you drive him to the movies iirc

yeah all the older ppl i know like have to put on their glasses and hold an iphone v close to their face to like look at pics of babies on facebook etc, reading text is not even a question. makes sense for these guys to have big massive phones i guess. like oldstyle large-print bibles for grandma.

lol

re headphone lightning cable: could this be about healthkit? ie headphones being a thing you've often got draped around your neck taking your pulse and blood pressure and whatev. I guess they couldn't pass that info to the phone via the headphone jack, so if they're going to have to use a separate connection it makes sense to send everything through that rather than doubling up

or maybe jobs put something in his will about hearing the purple chick boot of abbey road in 48khz by 2015 idk

when when when will this magical breakthrough occur?

BTW in Hong Kong they are selling heartbeat watches for $30 that you can buy from a vending machine

iWatch is fucked imo

Whenever the iWatch finally comes out of whatever Manhattan Project lab it's in. A watch with a headphone jack looks ridiculous so of course there will have to be some sort of wireless earpod setup. Of course you want to be able to use iWatch with your stereo, so for $35 you can buy a Lightning-to-RCA/mini-jack adaptor, etc. etc. etc. It's not a bug, it's a feature. Why would you sully your iWatch with all these cables?

Forbes article seems needlessly histrionic and conspiratorial, but Apple's corporate legacy is all histrionics and conspiracies.

I can completely believe that

lol

feel like this point to the importance of hiring people who are tuned and and interested in the industry in general rather than just like good at their jobs, were i interviewing people id be all what blogs do u like who do u follow on twitter what do you think of these apps etc

a while ago there was a memo leaked from facebook urging their people to comment on facebook related stack overflow questions cause like no one was doing it, their whole haxor way thing revealed to be bs m/l

worst feeling as a developer is a job where you're implementing whatever your management or product designer told you to do and thinking "ain't nobody gonna use this"

on the bright side, it's really easy to support code no one uses

there are some truth bombs right there

sick design

love the way it rips your wrist hairs off

Only Apple

In re the phone size, having gone in and looked at phones yesterday I think there's just some kind of psychological effect from seeing all these bigger-screened phones that makes the iphone start to look puny. Also I find the 4s screen annoyingly small to read books on and I've increasingly been using my phone as an e-reader. So I think they're kind of forced to do a bigger screen or else risk customers being like "fuck it, I'm switching." At the same time some of the samsungs and htc's are stupidly large, and even the galaxy s5 felt too big in my hand.

I mean the 5/5s screen is bigger than the 4s obviously but it's a pretty small difference.

Uh, no. The 5.5 will be 38% larger than the current 4 inches. Math don't lie.

Is anyone here running iOS 8 on T-Mobile (US)? Amongst the new features in today's beta release is wi-fi calling, and that (along with unlimited music streaming) could push me away from Verizon, but only if it works well. My house is in a dead-zone valley where none of the carriers has a strong signal. How does the hand-off to cellular work if you leave home during a call?

http://www.tampabay.com/news/courts/criminal/tampa-man-accused-of-scamming-apple-out-of-309768/2189776

A man ran up a $7,753.22 bill at an Apple store. When his debit card was declined, he pretended to call his bank. He gave the store clerk a fake authorization code to punch into the card reader. And that's how the man, 24-year-old Sharron Laverne Parrish Jr. of Tampa, scammed one of the biggest high-tech companies in the world — not once but 42 times — totaling $309,768, according to federal court records.

"fake authorization code"? you mean you can just make up some shit?

apparently, yes!
