Apple: iPhone News and Discussion Thread
09-10-2013, 03:55 PM
Impossible, you're in it. Plus, my xboxlive subscription just ran out and I'm bored.
Hmmm, that's basically all the things I've heard too...I will tell you this new iteration of windows that came on my AIO is horrific. I'm trying to adapt, but I'd be shocked if they didn't revert back in the next one. Solid, reliable and fast...maybe I will switch over to apple in time.
Ask me how many times I've used the swipe to answer feature on my GS4? It's more annoying than anything when you're showing someone pictures on your phone and every pass of your hand keeps changing pictures...or youtube pausing because you looked away from the screen while moving the phone to show your friends...and I STILL can't get my swype to work normally on it. There's like a 10 second delay to load sometimes and if you turn on the camera the keyboard will populate half the screen. Overall, I love the big screen although when jogging, it makes it really hard to navigate pandora with the phone in one hand...my thumb doesn't reach the far upper corner
I think I just talked myself into going Apple next time.
We are starting to get bugs/viruses...just not as many because most people go after the dominate OS...and Windows is still that.
Sure...I pay more up front for an apple computer (sometimes...come comparable PCs are similar in cost)...but every apple I have had has lasted 2-3 years longer than any PC I had or built.
Perhaps its different now...but to not have to touch windows...worth the price of admissions to me.

Jeremy...you mean VAIO? Sony Vaio? I have always liked those...had one which I ended up giving to my little sister....but yeah Windows 8 is just pathetic....
...and you can change the songs by the head phones volume control
...even though my ipod shuffle is tiny (as it is supposed to be), I use the headphones to play/pause and change songs
EDIT: but the thing I like about iphone is, if you were playing pandora and say you paused the songs and after couple hours, you resume (using headphones), it resumes in Pandora....on the Android, the music will resume in Google play music....

Sorry, Anil...meant All In One. It's an HP, although my old Vaio did it's thing...had XP IIRC and that thing was a trooper. Many a dolphin flogging were done sitting in front of that baby!

This is one bad thing about android. People dont know who to blame.
All problems you described are all on the blame for samsung. They somehow win over the market with their "innovative" features that are IMO gimmicky.
And then android gets the blame. IMO the Motorola X is the best phone out right now. And hopefully that will change when the N5 comes out.

PS...thanks for that, I wouldn't have known that the manuf of the phone was at fault vs the OS. I had some issues with my S2...but the 4 has annoyed me more, if you can believe that.

I've also basically turned off all their features they had for this phone. I will admit samsung does do better with cameras than google though.

Last time I checked I'm not an admin any longer. I've moved on babysitting people like yourself. And don't talk to me about composure. Could easily say the same dumb thing to you.

The one hour I had to use windows 8 on a computer for a client...I threatened to throw it out of a window...it was the worst piece of shit I ever had to try and navigate.

I'm going to guess the lines of apple haters waiting to bash the keynote announcements is longer than the lines of people waiting for phones...
swoosh probably paid his $100 offer to someone to stand at the head for him...

I'm excited for the IOS 7 Update. 
And I won't lie... I wish my work issued Iphone was gold. 
And yo, some of you android guys need to lay off the Apple thread. You don't see the Apple guys jumping around being douchey in the android thread.

I remember back when I first switched to mac in 2001. Bought the first Ti Powerbook with OS 10 on it.
People would come on here and go out of their way to hate on apple (who I admit I heavily disliked prior to OS 10)...one of them being soopa...who later, guess what, switched to mac...just goes to show hypocrisy knows no bounds.

^ Yeah I've noticed that. I find it annoying when I open up this thread expecting to read input from other Apple/Iphone users, only to find a pointless flame war about Apple vs. Whatever.
Pro tip: Life is alot more enjoyable when you can learn to appreciate a range of products and more specifically consumer choice. (Not directed at you Sarlacc, just to the flamers in general).

And this is why my iPhone is my personal phone. I went to Apple after work since my iPhone5 sleep/power button works when it wants to; phone is slightly scratched on the edge. The geek without any hesitation or BS gave me a new phone. I was in the Apple store for 5 minutes total. Love it! And I don't have AppleCare.

I came in here looking for iPhone owner opinions on the new iOS and 5S but instead all I get are Android fanboys trolling it up.

Cool no more trolling (although I dunno if that was pointed at me)
I'm curious to know how the fingerprint sensor works. Since most fingerprint sensors I've seen either require a swipe or they look at your whole entire thumb. This just looks at a small portion. So if you're not getting the same area of your every time will it not work. And I'm not talking about being half off the sensor, but I forgot how big the home button is. Your thumb can be higher up I guess where the top gets cut off? I dunno. Guess we'll see when reviews come out.

i was watch the video, i guess when you set up the finger print, it takes an image of your entire finger from all angles. so that way you dont have to have it lined up just right.

IOS 7 Gold Master out, installing now.
09-11-2013, 06:54 AM
I have one of those fingerprint sensor on my work laptop, at first I thought I wouldn't use it but now I look at all my coworkers that have to type in their password after lunch as neanderthals. It's a cool feature, I think.
By the time my contract is done, I'm sure the Iphone 6 will be out. If they go slightly wider on screen, I'm in.
David, I agree about the flip out screen, in those instances where I'm shooting really high or low shots, I do wish I had it...although I get by with the live view.

Has got to be a power issue. Doesn't ac create multiple, simultaneous streams of data, which is how it has such a high theoretical throughput? Have to imagine there are power issues at play. I'm not aware of any other device that supports the ac standard.
And while ac provides better frequencies, the 5, 5c and 5s have 5ghz n, which can technically do 600mbps. Plenty for now.

Current hot debate is why did Apple concentrate more on the processor speed rather then battery life. The new processor / battery combo gives around the same charge as the 5, iphone 5 processor with new battery would have given better battery life. I really think most people rather have a longer lasting battery then a faster phone.
09-11-2013, 07:13 AM
I agree, although I also think there's likely an equilibrium point where speed still matters more. That's one thing I have to say that ALL my iphone friends do complain about, but at this point, with as often as we use the phones, I don't know too many people that don't have a charger at work, in the car AND at home.
