All Things Mac/ Apple

[louisbosco]

so here we are, that time of the month again… thoughts???

[Cole]

I need a new smartphone and I'm tempted to get the 7 with 128 gb.

On the other hand I never wanted to return to fekking Apple-iTunes and it is a wee bit expensive.

Decisions decisions.

It's hardly revolutionary but it is a great refinement of the iPhone.

[louisbosco]

yeah. the design's barely changed in which i reckon they could be waiting for the 10year anniv of the iphone to do it next year. though the changes i fancy on this 7plus is the dual camera system and that taptic feedback technology from the new macbook. kinda disappointed that i'm still waiting for them to release a new macbook pro but it's pretty obvious with the rumors that this is going to be just a phone and watch event.

what's wrong with itunes @Cole ? i find it a breeze to use..

It drives me crazy every time I need to transfer something to the iPods (old iPhones) of the kids and is generaly the most unintuitiv thing ever created, if you are an old Windwos-Explorer-Whore like me. 

[Dion]

Same here. Tried it once - never again.

[Peter]

Fucking hate iTunes as well.. That being said, I have yet to transition to a Samsung

I'm kind of getting excited about the new watch. The more I think about it, the more useful it seems. I like to run, and it'll be perfect for that.

I also got a 7 a few days ago, same color. Liking it quite a lot so far, especially the battery life.
The home button took some getting used to but it's neat.

[Snowy]

agree. First few presses of the home button and I felt I'd made a huge mistake. A few days later and ITS THE BEST THING EVER!

[Cole]

The near bulletproof and hopefully IH-Backpocket-Bent-Proof protection case allready arrived. Now it is online the damn iPhone trat is still missing, because the retailer I ordered from is still waiting for the delivery from Apple.

yeah…

[louisbosco]

i had a go in the apple store. absolutely love the new home button. though i've to wait a little while for a jet black 7plus..

None too impressed by the new MBP range, even before I saw the price. Maxing out at 16GB doesn't seem very pro to me…?

[Snowy]

yeah me either. Considering mine is closed and attached to a screen unless I travel, I don't seem to be their core focus either.

My other half just got the 13" Macbook Air today, same specs as the new price but at last week's rrp. I need to update my Mac-Mini and Macbook Air 11" to one higher spec Macbook Pro, but the new offerings don't really do it for me. I think I'll try and hang on until the next iteration and see if they get any better (or cheaper!). I might go SSD for the Mac Mini to give it a little boost for the next year.

Also, I bent my iPhone 6 Plus! Gutted… It's going to cost about £100 to get a new back fitted. Still, two years in and it's still working.

[Winchy]

Gonna have to keep my Mid2012 MBP going for a while longer, otherwise it'll mean going back to the dark side (Windows) as PCs now seem to be a long way ahead when it comes to 'bang for your buck'.

@michaeljcr Unlucky! Did you sit down with it in your back pocket?

Sounds like a plan, although I can't myself going purely Windows. I have Parallels on my Mac and an older Lenovo ThinkPad, but I really want to get to just one machine.

Re: the bendy iPhone, I've no idea what happened. I just noticed it one day. I have insurance, but there's a £100 excess, so I might as well just get it fixed. Makes me sad looking at it though.

[Snowy]

I'm going to keep on the mac train. I don't think I'll need to upgrade for a while tho. SO getting good bang for buck. A 2012 laptop going strong in 2016 is pretty good!
