It should be illegal to buy used iPhones! The only reason to buy such device is for status and you don't buy "used status". Besides, Apple needs your money!

Bluetooth radiation and hack proof... I lol so much at the people who say that wireless is the future... That it frees from the wires... Until the medical ones kicks in... So sad. Shield yourself from emf! Wear tin foil Cool
About the bolded part, LOL, I have heard that before and every time I listen to it I cannot stop laughing, wireless is so vulnerable that you don’t need to be a hacker to compromise it, you can be a script kiddie and pull it off with ease.

Lmao, I am actually quite glad that they are implementing 24-7 bluetooth. Now the iPhone 7 is more vulnerable than any other iPhone, and that's saying something. The best part is, when you find a vulnerability on the iPhone, it takes about a month for it to be patched, and to upgrade, you need to buy a new iPhone, lol.

I saw the introduction of iphone 7 on youtube, funny thing is, its same old hardware change the design and amp up the camera basically your just buying an upgraded camera. nothing else.

And what difference does it make if you all have an 8mb rear camera like the iPhone 6 or 12mb rear camera like the iPhone 7 ?

Megapixels have become the ultimate measure of a camera. If your cousin has a phone with more megapixels than your year-old point-and-shoot camera, clearly he must have the better, higher-quality device. Right?

Wrong.

I am still in awe how Apple is playing masses. They are releasing overpriced piece of hardware, incompatible with other standards, with questionable solutions, closed architecture.
And people are amazed by it, thought of it as luxury, what a band of sheep.

I think you missed the most important point of all.. product quality.
In case you missed my topic here on it there is NOW a class-action lawsuit for the latest drama..
Touch-Disease

Remember Bend-Gate ?

Over priced ..ya it would be if the shit worked LOL  Cheesy
In other words it's far worse than that.

And on the topic here ?
I have to shake my head..

I like my full size headphones for at home on my stereo when i might play Counter-Strike
But i have a collection of Earbuds i spent years shopping for.. check out Head-Fi.org  Cool

I have actually ordered some off Newegg tried them once and then gave them away.
I like to try cheaper ones and see how they are etc.
For some reason i always end up favoring cheaper Sony Earbuds though.
When i got my first pair with 9mm Neodynium magnets the tech was newer and you had to spend $100 to get them.
Years later they cost $10 now at Wallmart.. same tech specs and build quality etc.
People just assume if it's cheap it has to be crap.. NOT so !

I would never by any Beats bullshit though..

I did lots of research before on Wireless Earbuds and was ready to spend any amount of money needed.
Problem is the tech is actually crap.
Google search it and get into it and you will all see.. this is a primitive technology still.
Wireless headphones are not a good option for those that want quality sound.
If your a noob-lemming and don't care then yeah have at 'er go nuts.
Me ? No thanks i will pass thanks.

Right on, this is what I've been saying. We already have had devices implementing the wireless headphone technology, so it's not a "unique innovation". Secondly, it's still in its primitive stages, there's a reason phones haven't switched to that. Sound quality will be very poor, and you will most likely die of brain tumor before you can die of starvation from buying Apple products.

I love my iPhones..

I have a 4 that I have had since before the 5 came out, right from AT&T, the kid has had it for a couple years now, still works great, still a great device.. Wifi only for a couple years now..

Just bought a brand new pink 5c for the GF for like $150 on amazon so she can play Pokemon Go better than her last phone, droid.. Great phone, excellent value.. On version prepay..

I have a 6 that I bought used for about $310 in trades and cash, it is great, no complaints.. On version prepay, originally came from verison..

They just get faster, take better pictures, show better resolution and generally display the same things better..

The 7? Yeah I want one sure.. Why not? The headphone jack would be a problem for me but I think I could solve it..

I'm not a headphone user. I have a powerful oldschool marantz in the house and my DD car is all Rockford Fosgate T series speakers, 2 P3 12s, and a sony head unit that I don't care too much for..

I could easily fix the car by kicking the sony for a blaupunkt with bluetooth that I have been wanting anyway. In the house I don't use my phone for music..

It is not unlikely that I will get an iPhone 7.. Some day when the price comes down to earth or I get a steal of a deal on one..  Or I may just skip it for an 8 by then who knows.. I have no reason to believe that I will not be sticking to apple devices in the future, but to buy any of these things brand new when they first come out is just stupid unless you have that kind of money..

If you can't find anything better to spend $1k on then go get one.. You know with some people that kind of money doesn't matter, if it makes them happy and it won't even dent their budget why not buy it.

Just take good care of it so you can sell it to me cheap when you want the next one Smiley

What is a piss poor person who places their value on how expensive their gadgets are is to do? They can't get the latest iPhone because then they can't use their expensive logo on their ear.

Geez, imagine the complaining when everyone loses one of their headphones instantly.  Those things are incredibly tiny and will fall out of the ear all the time.  No way it will stay cordless for long.

Think this is really a big mistake on their part and will only serve to make apple even more closed, elitist and for the rich.While Android continues to remain less restricted and acessible for everyone.

At the end of the day, like it or not, the world we live in is all about money. This is not an opinion, it is a fact. People are always blaming the wealthy for everything wrong about society, personally I think that is the pinnacle of hypocrisy.


elitist and for the rich


This phrase would be directed at you if used by anyone poorer than you. And no matter how poor you are, there is always someone poorer than you.


Android continues to remain less restricted and acessible for everyone.

No it's not accessible to everyone, there are people out there that can't afford even the cheapest phone.

I was shock Apple release samsung s7.lol. Seems a mistake on the title. It should be iphone7. Those people in our place who are hating apple products are those people who didnt admit that they cant afford to buy one. They are just hating it because of that but deep inside they really want it. Im not saying all but only to those dishonest to themselve.

A cheap huawai with 64go sd cards, cyanogen mod, firewall, F-droid... Cool.

But still once Apple remove the camera bump, and an open source os is available it may become a really great device...

Just cracked my ass laughing about that! One of their "fan boys" thinks connecting by the lighting cable will provide "digital sound".  Grin Grin

what really blows my mind is how much media coverage all this shit gets. professional journalists write lengthy pieces about the redesign of a freaking button. is this what the world is coming to?

i'd pay for wireless earphones if they agree to provide me with a lifetime supply of them when I lose them. those wires might be old stuff but they're kinda handy to keep track of them.

When the battery runs out you just go out and sell the iPhone, then buy four hundred Android devices with what you make from it.

We're on Bitcointalk, can I find ONE iPhone user here who prefers it to the Android?

A few years back I would've said iPhone all the way, these days not so much, it's still an outstanding product but I don't agree with a lot of the changes Cook is bringing to the design. The thing with me is that I've never really been an Apple fanboy, I just happen to really like simplicity and beautiful logical designs.
Jobs was Apple, his vision and logic are what made Apple special, without Jobs Apple is just another brand. And Jobs' logic is slowly eroding under Cook, in a few years his legacy will have morphed into new entirely. Nothing wrong with the New Apple, it's just that I can't really relate to their design philosophy.
Having said that, the iMac is still absolutely exquisite so there is still something there  Smiley
