Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

bit of digging turned up this:

any experiences?

Did you buy yours from Apple directly? If so, just get them to replace the screen for free... They will do it.

Because I covet things I can't afford I am looking at finance options for a MacBook pro. Can only seem to find 6 month buy now pay later (0% APR), anyone know of anywhere that does a 12 month option?

Now could be the worst possible time to buy - Redesigned MB Pros are expected to be announced sometime in October.

I would wait a little longer if you can.

I did, but in China (still at an official apple store.) getting an appointment in an apple store is hell though huh

I think laptops come with International warranty, I once had my Mac fixed under that, it was bought in HK. But if it's out of warranty then unless there is a recall, you won't be covered under the UK sale of goods act...

was planning on waiting for the new MacBook pro as it's slated announcement this month right? Assumed it would be same distributors so just wanted to scout their finance schemes.

Ah ok.

Actually Currys do a 10 month with 10% interest deal, at least they used to. Bought a TV on it once.

10% interest up front then 10 monthly instalments. Worth a look?

0% credit card would be the best bet if you can get one. Quite a few do a lengthy 0% on purchases.

So, er... the iPhone 7 beats the Mac pro in single core performance.

Really? That's incredible...

Now you just need 6 of them welded together...

Mine has this at the edges. Cba to take it into apple though unless it starts spreading onto the screen.

I've just done something sensible and saved some cash on my 'I'll keep it one more month' Apple music. Bought a £100 iTunes card with 20% off here:

and used that to get a years subscription on iTunes (which is £99). Which makes it more palatable at £6.66 per month, I think.

Is deleting 111GB of music going to speed up a 2011 Macbook Pro running OS 10.10.15?

Once I've deleted the music I plan to update the OS.

Only if it frees up 10% of total he'd space...

Yep, its a third.

Got my iPhone 7, very nice. Took about 5 minutes to get used to the new home button.

Old iPhone 6 for sale here if anyone is interested:

Anyone got a 5s for sale, unlocked, or on three? Cheers

Got an old Mitsubishi diamondtron and G5 tower if any one has a use for them let me know. Also what's the best way to dispose of them?

Mitsubishi diamondtron

Had one at work back in the day. My desk neighbour was jealous of my flat panel

Upgraded phone to iOS 10 and it feels like I've lost lots of photos. Not many on here any more. Any idea what's happened?

I've heard of some people losing theirs during the update. Check you're in the right folder/album, they messed around with the structure for the update.

And check iCloud...

That G5 tower would house a great hackintosh. Temping...
