Good luck with that. I remember lots of people griping about Lightning when it first came out and it doesn't look like we ever went back to 30-pin.
I honestly believe Apple is making this move for the right reasons and I think phone technology will be better off for it. I say that as an owner of wired headphones.
Ya. The Jet black will probably be a fingerprint magnet and if it's glass I'm afraid of it cracking even with AppleCare.
i'm just very happy they sent out the warning. Although, I'll still get it, except I always put zaggshiedls or ghostshields on mine. So you get the feel of the original phone, but protected.. obviously not from drops, but i don't really drop my phones
I think you are thinking of another plan. My plan will not be decreasing after the contract ends....this is the same with all of the older subsidized rates.
Explain to me how this idiotic adapter will let me listen and charge at the same time?
And when the adapter inevitably gets lost, or like all Apple cables falls apart after 12 months, how much do you think Apple will want for a new one?
This is bone headed design and positively hostile to customers. It will cost Apple dearly.
Lol, the new Bragi's list at $150..... the AirPods at $159.
How is the phrase "the Bragi's are a bit cheaper" an understatement to you????
Haha, of the 40-or-so photos of iPhone 7 on Apple's website not one shows <the place where the headphone connector used to be>. The photos have either been cropped at exactly that point, of there's a convenient piece of advertisement text placed over it. Poor Apple Marketing, they must have been really nervous on how to sell this "feature".
Brexit hurts, man. I paid £619 for my 6 Plus. 7 Plus is £719.
If I read it correctly, the upgrade program comes with the Apple Care (therefore higher cost).
Proprietary apple airpods connecting seamlessly to proprietary apple iphone or proprietary apple watch...you don't say?
I have to ask...
Who here thinks carriers are just getting greedy and screwing everyone by making us pay full price?
Or is there finally a collective understanding that full price for cell phones was always being paid and the "subsidy" was instead a loan. A magic trick that looked *very real* -- $350-$450 off for a 2-year service commitment. But just an illusion and nothing more.
I don't have problem with anyone preferring subsidy, to EIP, to full price as a method of payment. As long as there is an understanding subsidies aren't "free money" or gifts or a signing bonus, or whatever.
That's why they showed ONLY the Jet Black with all that fancy lighting - sure looked like a whole new design to me /s
BUT they changed it just enough to cause you to purchase new cases
There used to be, back during the 3G era. You used to pay a minutes package + $30 for unlimited data. Typically that would run you $70. It doesn't matter if you got the phone for 0 or $200, the price was the same.
well Apple is running a business - for a lot of people 32gb+icloud will work very nicely - so they balance it out for the sake of their precious margins.
I'm sorry, but why are you here? You do realize this is an Apple-centric site, correct?
Can always switch to next. Its what i plan on doing now that the subsidies are gone. Still on grandfathered plan since 08.
So that next year, they become courageous enough to be audacious enough to say that we did it again, now the base storage is 64GB, and we keep 128GB and 256GB, or maybe add 512GB at the top. Who knows. But stuntmen they are, of the highest quality.
For the same price you now get 128gb. Why would you want 64?
