On their website it claims their 24ct gold iPhone 6 is out in 2 day's.

As for U2... pfffff not my taste, think Bono's a bit of an idiot.

come on people does the iphone 6 needs all that white space?

 

[shigatashway]

A pre-bundled U2 Album... this is not an incentive to buy an iPhone. I better be able to delete the album; Bono will not be wasting space on my flash storage.

My reaction to the headline

Don't like U2? Don't comment and whine about it - there's just no need. What's gonna happen IS gonna happen, and complaining won't alter it.

Simple.

 

[Tankmaze]

Apple should hire a much more younger band, like rolling stones maybe

 

[Seventhbeard]

I believe that U2's involvement is related to Hi-Res audio coming to iTunes. Maybe their new single will come pre-loaded in Hi-Res.

It might give the 40 to 50 year olds a kick (and they are of course an important customer base), but other than that I think U2 has largely lost their relevance today.

They haven't even released a truly great album since the early 90s - that's 20 years ago and around 10 years before iPod and OS X came to market.

You must be new around here, Hi.

 

[lewisd25]

U2 must have low expectations for the success of their new album. It's freaking U2, their music should stand on it's own. Sad.

 

[disinfectant]

U2 is ****ing awful and so is Bono. Awful news.

 

[Defender2010]

If the album is free I'm sure it will just be a link to the iTunes store from new devices, kinda like Apples productivity apps when they turned free. Highly doubt an album will come pre-loaded already!

 

[Peace]

I wouldn't worry. It's probably just a product ( Red ) iPhone.

 

[EMT123]

Seriously?

U2? Its 2014. If true, this is would be a form of bloatware IMO.

 

[BruiserB]

I wouldn't worry. It's probably just a product ( Red ) iPhone.

Now that would actually be cool.

 

[Crosscreek]

Maybe they can have Jobs appear as a hologram with U2 for old time sake.

 

[JFazYankees]

Pre-loaded bloatware on an iPhone?! If there's anything fake about any of the upcoming announcements, please let it be this!

 

[edgonzalez32]

**** U2! they haven't even been relevant for a decade!

The success of their last two tours says the complete opposite.

 

[MacCurry]

It's Not That Bad

About 6 years ago I got to see U2 live in concert and was some 10 feet away from Bono and Slash. What I found was that the two guitarists for U2 are really quite good and talented. Bono isn't all bad, but he's getting old for the rock and roll scene.

 

[edgonzalez32]

Wow TIL people really don't like U2.

It's ok guys. I'll still come to your shows...

 

[robjulo]

That is pretty much Apple's track record. Didn't you know that before becoming a stockholder?
