8gb isn't enough even if you do have your music elsewhere, as I do. Apple should be ashamed of selling a phone with an 8gb capacity right now. For one thing ios8 is not much less that 8gb in itself so you won't even have room for many apps and may even struggle with photos.

I disagree that it's cheap looking though. I think it's the best looking iphone.

got it. also what does your phone bill look like? how much extra would it typically cost to have an iphone vs. basic cell phone?

We went from about 100 a month for the two of us (with flip phones) to about 165 a month for the two of us (with iphones and 3GB a month non-wifi data)

This isn't completely accurate. The ios8 update did need a lot of space to perform an OTA update (something like 5-6GB), but after the update process completed the actual os takes much less (just over 1GB), and you could bypass the space requirement by upgrading through iTunes (connect to a computer)... had to do this with several family members who had no space to upgrade.

That said, 8GB is still way too small. Go 16 or 32 if you can anyway afford it.

8gb isn't even enough for apps nowadays

Nhex, Monday, 2 March 2015 23:27 (eleven years ago)

basically buy the most storage you can on whatever you get because you will absolutely fill it up no matter what

Allen (etaeoe), Monday, 9 March 2015 17:36 (eleven years ago)

Retina? YES PLES

stet, Monday, 9 March 2015 17:36 (eleven years ago)

It kills me because they could have been reasonable and included a USB 3.1 port and retained most of the thinness.

Allen (etaeoe), Monday, 9 March 2015 17:37 (eleven years ago)

sold

π” π”žπ”’π”¨ (caek), Monday, 9 March 2015 17:37 (eleven years ago)

Keyboard mechanism sounds awesome/trackpad sounds like a fucking mess.

Allen (etaeoe), Monday, 9 March 2015 17:39 (eleven years ago)

lol monocle.com

Allen (etaeoe), Monday, 9 March 2015 17:39 (eleven years ago)

"most of the thinness" ain't good enough for these clowns

tbh I don't really want to care about my laptop anymore

stately, plump buck angel (silby), Monday, 9 March 2015 17:39 (eleven years ago)

force click sounds awesome

stet, Monday, 9 March 2015 17:39 (eleven years ago)

You’re littering the most used mechanic on the MacPro with delicate sensors and ICs. I’m skeptical.

Allen (etaeoe), Monday, 9 March 2015 17:40 (eleven years ago)

Maybe not! Cool photo.

Allen (etaeoe), Monday, 9 March 2015 17:41 (eleven years ago)

No way this is i7.

Fucking Core M. D:

Allen (etaeoe), Monday, 9 March 2015 17:43 (eleven years ago)

Wait, there's literally only one port? So that's power ... how do you hook up an external display?

stet, Monday, 9 March 2015 17:44 (eleven years ago)

You share.

Allen (etaeoe), Monday, 9 March 2015 17:44 (eleven years ago)

stet, Monday, 9 March 2015 17:45 (eleven years ago)

Cool. This is C (USB 3.1 Type-C).

Allen (etaeoe), Monday, 9 March 2015 17:45 (eleven years ago)

not for me at this point (I need a bigger screen right now) but yeah retina is croosh

droit au butt (Euler), Monday, 9 March 2015 17:49 (eleven years ago)

They're keeping all the old ones around still? Apple's getting bad at retiring old lines. You can still buy iPad 2, right?

stet, Monday, 9 March 2015 17:53 (eleven years ago)

Apple Watch keeps time.

Allen (etaeoe), Monday, 9 March 2015 17:55 (eleven years ago)

It's all about the price points. They can't do the new one at $999 yet so they're leaving the old one.

There's not really an excuse for iPad 2 anymore tho it's true

Main thing I want one for tbh

stately, plump buck angel (silby), Monday, 9 March 2015 17:56 (eleven years ago)

I'm glad they updated the MacBook Pro. The new MacBook is cute and all but I want something with a little more oomph and that plays well with my old crap without buying a slew of dongles and bullshit.

Don't know why you need this and the Air though.

EZ Snappin, Monday, 9 March 2015 17:56 (eleven years ago)

It sounds like the existing MacBook Air has better performance than the announced MacBook.

Allen (etaeoe), Monday, 9 March 2015 18:00 (eleven years ago)

I have the first-gen 11" and it's way, way too slow

stet, Monday, 9 March 2015 18:00 (eleven years ago)

Giselle or bust.

within 50ms of UTC time? not good enough!

mh, Monday, 9 March 2015 18:04 (eleven years ago)

right, i don't live in UTC

π” π”žπ”’π”¨ (caek), Monday, 9 March 2015 18:05 (eleven years ago)

after dealing with timestamps last week I am pretty cool with switching everyone to UTC
