All Things Mac/ Apple

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.

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…?

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.

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.

Check out https://elementary.io/ if you want a Mac (ish) experience on non Apple hardware.

i'm no sure if i'm ready for usb-c yet. been holding off a new macbook pro for the past couple years waiting for a refresh and now this but without hdmi and sd card ports. my current lineup doesn't have a hdmi or retina screen..

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!
Still rocking my ´09- Its on its second charger, the CD-drive has been replaced by storage and the battery wont impress anyone- but it still gives a better day-to-day usage experience then my new work-lenovo.
The mac isnt fast by todays standard and gets killed with batch photo editing, video encoding etc, but for daily use it works just fine.Seemed expensive when i bought it, but its proved itself many times over..
It fell out of the update cycle recently, so will eventually need to be replaced. But the new 15" are steeply priced and this one will be run into the ground before i part with my cash again.
