Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

The lumia, that looks like an elongated 2 year old ipod nano?

I honestly though better of nokia than to blatantly copy Apple, but that phone and that site proves me wrong.

Now that Apple is starting to lose it's edge, it's sad to see to no one else is doing their own thing*

*yes yes, I understand that some might do

The problem with looking like something, how can a rectangle be so different from the next? Surely it is the software that is the key.

a good meld of software / hardware.

lumia's got a bad ass wireless charging station, that has its own configurable nfc tag, so you can encode it to do whatever when you dock.

snazzy.

nfc is totes the way forward.

Have a tag by your bed to open specific websites and lower the volume. Possibilities are endless.

That's quite neat actually, wouldn't mind having that at all

Shittest. Photoshoping. Evar.

I've seen done worse

Bought a few to play with on me nexus 7... cheap as chips and v. handy/easy to use.

Just wish they'd included it on the 5.

Jimmy Kimmel show. People given 4S and told it's the I Phone 5. They say it looks better, faster and lighter...

I remember there being a way to get iOS6 before release, i.e. faking a dev pass or something, but I can't remember where I read it or how to do it. Now the Golden Master has come out, I want it before everyone else - how does one achieve this?

Try here pal:

I'm not accepting any responsibility for your phone if you fuck it up.

**Where to buy a new battery?

**Daughters MacBook 13" in white isn't charging the battery, if you remove the power lead it shuts down.

Battery cycle count is 301.

Where best to get a new battery? I have heard that buying a none genuine Apple battery is a false saving but Apple want £101.00 for a new one. Would rather not spend that much if possible!

Any suggestions on where to look for a new battery (that will last)?

Thanks!!

(ex post about ebay listing)

scrap that, feedback comments says the battery was fake

Been told IOS 6 isn't too good. Anyone else have it?

I bought a 3rd party battery for mine off ebay and it didnt work.

^^ yep. boring as fuck. Same old shit, less useful since their fight with google. New maps is proer shite too.

Bring on WP8 - I'm going to convert as soon as the lumia's out.

maps is the only disappointing bit so far otherwise nothing excitingly new. Maps load faster though being vector

can anyone break down the difference between an iphone 4 and a 4s to me? Is the s just a bit faster?

A little bit faster and a slightly better camera. Also, a handfull of the features of iOS 6 dont work on the 4 (siri, facetime over cellular network).

The 4 is still a perfectly fast phone though.

Oh yeah, and i'm selling my 4 here: https://www.lfgss.com/thread93614.html

I noticed already :)

Seriously considering it. I am totally done with contract phones, I can't believe that I've had one for so long.
Rang Vodafone today to ask if I could upgrade to iphone 5 - they told me that I would have to pay 100 quid. This is after being with them for 8 years and spending £50 per month, at least.

I worked out that even if I bought a iphone 5 from apple, and paid giff gaff £10 a month for 24 months, I would be spending almost half what I would with Vodafone. Crazy.

I don't think I really care about having a 5, but buying a new 4s for £449 doesn't seem like very good value for money either.

iPhone 4s also has improved bluetooth 4.0 which uses less battery and is compatible with all the latest Bluetooth products.

#bigwow

I think it's been about 5 years since I even bothered to turn bluetooth on, on any phone I've owned

loads faster. I've got the 4s and tried a 4 a while ago, felt really sluggish. I very rarely have to wait for anything on my phone, everything's really smooth. Makes a huge difference and well worth the extra money imo
