Very much questioning if I actually need to upgrade from my X. Between a cracked screen, dying battery, and how pretty the Blue Pro Max looks I'm leaning towards a yes
By sy Go To PostThe Spotify desktop app is such fucking dogshit I hate it so much. Slow, often unresponsive, etc etc.
never had these issues.

I don't think I'm gonna upgrade right away, my XS is still going strong
By reilo Go To PostDude lol

Yeah, both are easily fixable though. I think I'll just be real annoyed if they get rid of Lightning for USB-C next year. That said, I imagine it's more likely we end up with no port whatsoever at this point
Tempted to upgrade my iPhone 8 but other than the battery being at 82%, it still works like new so I probably won't lol. Going on 3 years.
edit: oh wait I also got Bloodstained from them

By reilo Go To PostIf you're not on Apple Care, that screen will cost you $300 to get it fixed with Apple :\Christ! I kinda assumed it was around £100
For anyone that has ever shopped for a case with a wallet pocket for someone, this detachable magnet wallet attachment solution is super elegant. But damn, $60.
don't trust this magnetic shit at all, just going to lose/break things
camera improvements the main thing making me want to upgrade (as usual), but really trying to wait out for touchid to return

I already sold my X, looking to upgrade this year.
Deciding between the 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max. There’s an iPhone 11 in this house and I loathe how big and heavy it is. The 12 Pro Max is even bigger and heavier.
But the camera is better... god damn it Apple.

A bit confused, are you saying the iPhone 12 Pro is too big for you because it's similar in size/weight as the iPhone 11?
The 12 Pro Max is huge, wtf

No, I’m saying that the 12 Pro Max is too big for me (even bigger and heavier than the 11 which I already don’t like) but I really want that camera. And I guess the phablet sized display must be sweet to enjoy content passively.
Regular 12 Pro size and weight is fine by me, very similar to X.

my mom has talked about getting a new ipad. what makes sense to buy these days, for someone who just does browsing and playing word feud? She got her birthday coming up mid november, so cant really wait for any future releases.
By Wahabipapangus Go To Postmy mom has talked about getting a new ipad. what makes sense to buy these days, for someone who just does browsing and playing word feud? She got her birthday coming up mid november, so cant really wait for any future releases.New iPad Air, it's literally just releasing with A14 (so the very latest SoC), Apple Pencil 2 support, USB-C and new design and many colors, so you're good to go nephew.
Get a cheeky order in soon if you're interested because depending on color and configuration, some are on 2-3 weeks delivery, just in time for mid-November.
HMU for any questions 😎
Or... *sigh* save nearly 300€ and go for the regular iPad, 2 year old SoC, Apple Pencil 1 support, no USB-C. But still a decent value for that kind of use case.
By Wahabipapangus Go To Postthank you apple ladMy conscience made me add an edit, since the Air is pricier for being the latest and greatest that she might not need that at the moment (but future proofing is never a bad thing). You're still a good son if you get her the regular iPad.
By sy Go To PostWait, the iPhone 12 doesn't come with a charger????not coming with a charger is totally fine, but making the cable USB-C to Lightning is silly.
my huawei 20 pro is being a proper nonce. was great at launch, but been getting really shit recently, probably because of daddy potus orders. worth buying a new android now or should i hold out a bit?

By Wahabipapangus Go To Posti honestly dont know. i never follow phones much.The LG V60 ThinQ is probably your best bet if you want something close to top-end with a headphone jack.
maybe like samsung re-introducing aux
By diehard Go To Postnot coming with a charger is totally fine, but making the cable USB-C to Lightning is silly.
Yeah, silly as fuck, but works for me.
By Kibner Go To PostThe LG V60 ThinQ is probably your best bet if you want something close to top-end with a headphone jack.
yeah been looking at it. had an old lg phone (the one with weird fake leather on the back) and it was probably my favorite phone I ever owned.... Until it managed to overheat and destroy itself which apparently was really common. also for whatever reason it's not out in europe. third world continent struggles.
By sy Go To PostOr Pixel 3axl/4a if you want a top tier camera with a budget price.
maybe. maybe
My manager got an early preorder of the 12 Max Pro, and she was shocked when I told her there was no charger. She was even more shocked when I told her that she most likely will not be able to use the in box cable with anything she owns.
I love Apple products and their philosophy, but this one is gonna cause a lot of frustrations. The usb-c cable just seems like an insult to the majority of people who have most likely never seen a usb c port.

By sy Go To Postthis whole no charger and including a lighting to usb c cable is wild. Actual anti consumer hoursIt's just something you have to factor in the the price. Do you spend the $20 for an aftermarket charger if you need one, or do you get the phone that only gets support for 2 years?
Apple has some anti-consumer practices, this aint one.
By diehard Go To PostIt's just something you have to factor in the the price. Do you spend the $20 for an aftermarket charger if you need one, or do you get the phone that only gets support for 2 years?Did they deduct the cost of the charger fro, the msrp?

By sy Go To PostDid they deduct the cost of the charger fro, the msrp?All's im saying is this isn't a "Sony makes you buy all new controllers" type of deal.
As far as hardware goes, the 60hz screen is the thing to hate on.
By diehard Go To PostAll's im saying is this isn't a "Sony makes you buy all new controllers" type of deal.Not even sure why that comparison even comes to mind since consoles come with controllers.

How is not providing a charger, not removing the cost of that charger from the MSRP and not providing a USB A adapter not anti consumer?
By sy Go To PostNot even sure why that comparison even comes to mind since consoles come with controllers.I mean, manufactures can set the price they want, they are not forced to stick to last year's prices. PS4 was $400, PS5 is $500. Things can increase in price. So sure, not including a charger in the box can effectively be factored to a $20 price increase for those who need to buy a charger, which isn't much in $1K. It also comes with double the storage of last year, 1.5x the RAM, better chip, larger screen and so on.
How is not providing a charger, not removing the cost of that charger from the MSRP and not providing a USB A adapter not anti consumer?
By Smokey Go To PostNot including a charger is ridiculous. Sorry.Give it a few years and It's going to become the norm for USB stuff I think.
By reilo Go To PostThere won't be a USB/Lightning port in due time. Hope all of you got wireless chargers.Magsafe is the only thing that finally has me accepting that. Because F not being able to use a phone while you're charging it.
Still, you only get 15W of charging out of a 20W brick. Not the greenest future.
By sy Go To PostIt's hard for me to wrap my head around a transaction using energy.@Enron
By sy Go To PostIt's hard for me to wrap my head around a transaction using energy.With the Visa payment, you have a handful of computers send some simple messages to each other and check some databases to verify things are on the up-and-up.
With blockchain, the computers do the same thing, but also have to solve an arbitrary puzzle as part of the verification. The difficulty of the puzzle also increases as more transactions are made so each transaction takes more energy than the previous.
This isn't 100% correct, but should be ok as a high-level this-is-the-gist-of-how-things-work explanation.
