this man speaks the truth.

 

Ordering a 5 right now (Apple.com)... 3-4 week deliver time? Really? Still?

 

Delivery is between 12/3-7.. Crazy.

 

Siri vs google voice

Probably another reason Forstall was booted.

And the quick search function is great...but does google voice perform all the other Siri functions?

 

Well am not sure how you can blame 1 person for everything....

as I stated, Apple is a great innovator and then falls back. For example the ipod, they came and they conquered but what was the last time they received something new ??? and by new i dont mean just a new body design...

similarly, now their attention is moving towards TV....Apple always brings amazing innovative technology to the table...something which people have not thought off....

back to phones...Google Now will perform everything that the Siri can and perhaps more...the new Nexus has Photosphere, Inductive Charging and many other features....

Here is a little video for the new nexus line up, you can see the advancements in the screen, technology, refinement of the OS, Google Now enhancements....so i think its safe to saw that the Android has been out shorter but gone a farther distance....

....and its cheap. The new Nexus4 is $350 for a 8GB unlocked phone....no need for a contract

 

Isn't the Nexus 4 considered a dumbed down version of their smartphone? It doesn't even have LTE. You have to give it away to get people to want it.

 

Siri and Maps were two areas that fell under Forstall's over sight, and any lack of progress falls on his shoulders. Along with a lot of iOS.

Now, that is broken up and has new people heading them...I think we'll see more rapid development.

 

Yup it doesnt....but it does have "HSPA+ 42"

I understand....but it takes more than 1 person to mess up all of MAPS and no advancements to Siri is what am saying...

 

Siri really needs a new voice....when compared to Google search.

 

ZOMG iOS 6.0.1!!!!!!

 

maps will def be a fix for this one (am guessing)

 

ZOMG the mapz!!!! They're so awesome!!! Don't look directly at them!!!

- No map fixes
- Nexus, LOL!
- What more can they DO with an iPod? Honestly

At what point does advancements in these devices slow considerably then come to a halt?

 

imagine if this were said "ohh here is a CRT TV....what more can I do with it? its the ultimate creation"

there is never enough Chad....being innovative and futuristic is the only way

they can enhance sooo many things on there...whether its voice gestures or screen gestures or smarter control or have the OS/devices sync in such a way that when you go from using your phone to your ipad, you start off exactly where you had left off....sooooooo many things....

 

Hmm had a strange issue this morning, i use my iPhone as an alarm, when it went off this morning i looked at my screen and tried to press the snooze button, but for some reason the display was all mixed up displaying weird boxes and colors. Kind of like watching scrambled porn. So then I pressed the power button and woke it up again and things were back to normal.

Not entirely sure what I saw since I was half asleep and my glasses were not on, but I could tell something weird happened.

 

As you sit lonely on the internet, with your very own thoughts...

 

I slid the arrow over to read a text message earlier and the phone restarted

 

No but it seems like you're expecting the Apple TV to be holographic. And when it's not, they aren't doing what they should be.

Sure we can always advance. But the iPod is an mp3 player. I'm not real sure what you are expecting of it.

 

^^^ jupiter am just thinking out loud....

am just stating that technology will never stop....there will always be a new version out there...I had a desktop back in 2002 and it had 4GB harddrive...and 128MB ram...

just 10 years...1 decade and my phone has more memory....

am just saying there are soo many advancements you can make, hardware and software....Apple has been a great innovator and I have been a fan of how it changes the industry with new innovations....but i havent seen any "new" stuff from Apple in almost 2 years....

I hope sarlacc is right and Forstall messed up big coz am ready to see another innovation from Apple (just like Siri or iphone itself )

 

thats where i think you are misunderstanding me....ipod is no longer "just" an mp3 player....thats the point....just like iphone is no longer just a phone...85% of the people use their phone for browsing rather than callin....calling is just an "added feature" if you will....

they can have build in wifi sync into ipod classics, have a camera or something in them...as i said in ipod touch if you were browsing facebook and you put it aside and open you iphone, it should open up facebook (exactly where you left it)....so if you see a 20 minute video and you want to see it on your ipad, the transition is better....soo many things....

but i think you guys come under the "if Apple hasnt done it, it cant be done and stop thinking about new things" group....

 

 

hmm... damn. really need to get a new car charger.

was out all day sat in napa and came back to my friends place with 30% juice left.
had to shut off all cell data to last me until just now with 2% left.

was thinking "ohh i can just charge it with my car charger... opps its 30-pin"

 

or maybe pick up this and stash it in my wallet and use my friends android phone charger to charge my phone

http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD...ro-usb-adapter

 

You need to have a usb car charger, not just one for one item.


This is what I use

 

Yea I know, but the one I got also has Line out for audio.

 

That's actually a great idea, I have a bunch of motorola and BB chargers that are micro USB and friends with android phones, this adapter couple come in handy when I get an iDevice that has the 9 pin connector.

 

This is the one.

2.1 and 1 amp slots for Ipad and Iphone charging. OR just faster Iphone.

I can't figure out how to take a damn HDR photo. I have the "HDR On" option turned on, and when I take a photo, it says "Saving HDR Photo" but then there are just two copies of what looks like the exact same photo. I know it's supposed to take three images and blend them, but it doesn't look like it's doing that. Do I have to do something else? Like take three photos in a row and then manually create an HDR image or something?

iPhone HDR feature sucks. I appears to slightly brighten the picture and thats about it. Not worth using.

 

I've read that article--all it seems to say is to turn on the HDR feature. It also says it will take three exposures, and I don't think my phone is doing that.

Does it just suck? I feel like I've seen some pretty cool HDR photos from my friends with iPhones. But all mine do just look like they are slightly brighter, maybe slightly more colorful, that's it. Is there a different app or something that is creating these cool HDR images on the iPhone?

 

The phone will save ONE original photo plus the HDR version. All you will see is a slightly brighter image. If others are getting amazing results, I challenge the fact that they are using the regular camera app. Most likely a third party app if anything or some sort of post processing.

 

What you want is icamera HDR, or what most call iHDR

I also use bracket mode, then open with icamera HDR

Okay, cool, thanks.

 

I'm gonna assume google now on android has pretty much the same voice functionality you guys get, so I can say that for sports, siri is much much better. You guys can get stats we cant, just the score. And only professional. I'm not sure for you, can siri look up college games?? I know we can't and annoys me since thats important to me haha. Other than that its pretty similar for the most part from what i've seen

yea i agree with you, and watch apple will revolutionize the tv somehow. "siri turn on tnt" that would be tight. Or "siri put on the lakers game" i see thats one thing i'm gonna guess would be built into the tv. Theres gotta be some good processing power put into it though.

Ohh and $350 for 16gb $300 for 8gb
Nope its not!! And i'm glad google ditched Samsung for that reason. When samsung made the nexus phones, they put tech thats in the older gen model, not the current ones or the new ones coming out. But LG put it on par with the Optimus G. So it has the latest snapdragon S4 in their. 2 gb ram and so on.

Yes it doesnt have LTE, which is a bummer for some people who well are on verizon or sprint since you wont see the phone. But verzion screwed up their relationship with google with the galaxy nexus, so i dont see google making a phone for them unless they allow a fully "open" phone and that doesnt let verizon screw up their phone.



youre not an engineer are you???

Its not what more they can do with the ipod right now, its how you can advance a mp3 player.... So ipod can get rebranded or keep it with a new "idea"

look at the sony walkman when it held CD's and when it held digital storage. Nothings the same and the two are completely different. Maybe the ipod can be new in some other way down the road... thing is innovation will never stop, sure it will be some time till we see some drastic change in the mp3 area...

 

Also I got a question i've been curious about....

hows the battery life on the iphone5 and for those that respond how often are you on lte??

this is one thing google will never get on apple... battery life haha comparing respective battery sizes. And its not that they are close even, i think google is far far off from apples battery life assuming you guys get good life??

 

Not good. Charges fast but sucks battery fast too.

 

my 4's battery was a lot better than the 5's. Like Whiskers said, it sucks power fast, I'd say 33% faster than the 4.
