The Apple thread

[Kamandi]

I had my main desktop (a 2014 27" iMac) into the local Apple Store for repairs last week. I had one of the famous blue lines running down the middle of my screen. They wound up replacing the screen and the hinge was weak so they did that too. I'm glad I had AppleCare, it saved me from paying almost $700.

I allowed them to re-format the HDD. I was running a developer beta Yellowstone which the store would not accept. Time Machine was a champ after I got the machine back. It took ~1 hour to restore my data and my desktop was back where I left off.

The fake Apple commercial at the end of the report is great.

iPhone SE or wait for the 7 to be announced or released? Not to be crass, but I need to ***** or get off the pot. Hmmmmm, decisions...

I'm waiting on the 7 myself

I'm waiting for more news, but for now, I'm definitely getting the iPhone 5SE because of the 4 inch screen. I wasn't going to consider upgrading my 5s until Apple went back to a 4 inch form factor. I'm thankful that they finally did. Three years later!

 

[DinoDB1975]

Yeah, I like the 4 inch screen myself. I dunno, if I actually spent any time using the 6, maybe I'd like the bigger screen. But I loved the design of the 5...while the SE maintains the rounded/curved edges of the 6 design, I like the overall size as well as the upgrade in functions. And my 5 is pretty much maxed out in terms of memory.

I watch a ton of Netflix, and internet browsing especially forums and I am glad I picked up the plus. You adapt to the size change quickly.

 

[DinoDB1975]

Are we all Appled out? Specs on the iPhone 7 have just been announced, and no chatter here so far.

I think I'm going to upgrade to the 7. I'm going to go ahead and say I was wrong in my previous posts...although I like the 5's design, my wife's 5 crapped out two months ago and upgraded her to a Rose Gold 120 GB 6s...gotta say it's hard to go back to my 5's smaller screen after using her phone.

I'm upgrading to the 7 Plus

 

[Aliaz]

I'll follow my usual tactic and upgrade when the 7S Plus model comes along.

I could wait for the S, but I don't take enough pictures to care about the camera

Jet black one looks sexy as hell, but I know it's going to be a finger print magnet...

I want the blue one

I've got a case on it so I'll never see the color.

I go clear case for funky colors

Considering the last upgrade I did was an IPhone 5..I think it's time to get the iphone 7

 

[Pixelpiper]

10th anniversary next year. There may not be an S model. We might see iPhone 8 or simply "iPhone"

I have a 5c

I'm still content with my 6S. Plus, seeing as there's no headphone jack on the 7, I'm hoping Apple will pull a Moto Z and put it back in a future model. I'm not shelling out for bluetooth headphones or getting a bunch of adapters (planned obselence quality = lots of $$ down the drain over the life of the phone!) when I have a pair of perfectly good Grados.

 

[EVILFACE]

I'll stick with my 6+
