I'm still amazed that all it took was one trendy product to completely turn Apple around from its 90s slump.

yeah it's a bit disappointing for those of us who started buying apple computers because they had the most appealing operating system

And then Apple caved and went with a Unix-based OS like many others.

Wait, never mind... I think that was in the early 00's, actually.

yeah os x is what I'm talking about, was great to get all the Unix bits on something that actually worked (Linux was kind of a nightmare back then)

that was some years before the iPod though

I still love the fact that the iPhone is on a 1080p screen, and IPS no less. My note 4 screen is brighter, crisper, and better looking than the iPhone 7 and that's really really disappointing.

Also Bluetooth headphones has been a thing for 6+ years now lol. Dont need apple to remove their headphone jack to use them.

Let's not even mention the fact that they still refuse to add an expandable memory slot, instead pay an extra $100 for 32 more GB. So fucking disappointing. I've been wanting to get a new phone for over a year now but I just cant justify going to apple

Just give me a headphone jack, AMOLED screen, and expandable storage on the new iPhone and I'll be happy.

Not impossible

So an Android?

right? lol

poision i meant apple's new wireless audio tech, which is supposedly far more reliable than bluetooth

everyone should get a note 7

they'll make useful improvised explosive devices for when the revolution comes

it's weird how little of a shit I give about my phone

I guess I'm just old

or maybe it's because I never go out or talk to anyone or anything

i know a lot of people consider expandable storage a necessity, but i personally have no use for it, so it doesn't matter to me

not even sure what people use it for

Not impossible

just highly unlikely

Generally I use it because the phone has shit internal storage.

right but i feel like 128 is enough, for a while at least ... i haven't even come close to that
