Apple iPhone

[BurtReynolds]

Functionality rulez, appletards. You and your stupid one button mice.

[zeb]

You mean like this?

[zeb]

Or like this?

[BurtReynolds]

You mean like this?

Wow thats almost as good as a mouse with real buttons and wheels.

[zeb]

Burt, I thought you'd be the first to get excited about attempted advances in technology and design.

Nah, I'll be dead before any of the good stuff gets here.

New iphone is gonna cost €1000 here...thats about $1300

insane

[zeb]

Buying a phone outright seems pretty insane to me too. I just sign up for a contract and bequeath old handsets to family members.

[Birds in Hell]

Yeah, I can't see the sense in buying an iPhone outright.

[dimejinky99]

I dont know how it works for you guys but here, if you get a bill plan phone, say this new one, it'll be 1000 to buy outright, sim free with no contract, but if you get it on a 12/24 month contract you'll end up paying twice that much or even more, for the phone.. cheaper in the long run to buy it outright.

[LetMeSleep]

In Australia I'd take a contract. In the UK I always bought it outright then got a cheap £5/month deal. In fact my iPhone 4 I bought in the UK and I'm on a $15/month deal. (Bastards upped it. It was $8).

[dimejinky99]

wow, thats cheap...minimum monthly bill for that here is gonna be about 30-50

[Sgt. Crackpot]

Yep, in Australia you can buy a phone outright and then pay a set monthly fee like $49 per month for a call/data cap without a contract. Or you can go on a contract for 24 months and pay the same call/data fee, plus an extra $5 or $10 per month for the phone, then keep the phone at the end.

It's just plain silly to buy a phone outright here.

Im not watching the video, can anyone tell me what this new iphone does that 4s/5 doesnt do?

4s and 5 were virtually identical apart from 4s not being able to do 4G

[Sgt. Crackpot]

6 plus is bigger. A bit faster. Ummm....

[dimejinky99]

i dont need either..


also, does anyone know what the point of icloud is? i recently discovered it only stores your photos youve uploaded, for one month...entirely pointless..

Makes you cool.

[LetMeSleep]

Newer, shinier, phonier.
