Its sunny somewhere.
Ed style rant: this is a thread about iPhones. Kindly fuck off with your android Chinese spy phones crap.
This isn't too far fetched. My mum wanted a smart phone so got this crappy thing off some Tv infomercial, (we've had words). Its got malware built into the OS at some core level. I've rooted it and cleared off all the app. Wake up in the morning and ta-da all back like new.
Its fav trick was to pop up hd porn ad's randomly over the home screen locked, not locked, apps, no matter. I first noticed it doing this in a meeting.
The phone came like that new.

No google stuff or play store on that is there?

is this the thread for 'What iPad should I buy' type questions or shall I bang a new thread up.
Mrs A's iPad is b0rked so we're getting another.
I'll explain properly when I know where to post.

It's the old which one should I get quandary.
Basic iPad vs/or iPad Air plus an Apple Pencil (or similar)
Considering what I want to do and considering futureproofing, is the Air worth it? Or should I wait and see if a new 'basic' model comes out in September?
Tryna stretch those iPad £££. £430 vs £555 for ipad+pencil (from Amazon, plus I can pay over 5 mnthly paymnts with no fees or interest)
Is the Air worth the difference??

The Air is rarely worth it unless you’ve got excess cash or know that there’s some specific reason you really need the extra processing power or something, and if that was the case you’d already know about it.
Just get the normal iPad.

Why didn't you use it?
Just use my iPhone.
Apple now valued over $2 trillion.

Apple passed $2 trillion in market value
Among its many accomplishments — the iPhone, the iPad, iTunes, the App store — Apple can now boast of one more: It was briefly worth more than $2 trillion, making it the first company in the United States to reach that milestone.

Just imagine if they 'only' had a billion profit and all the rest of their zillions had gone to social/community causes.Apple now valued over $2 trillion.

Yup, bunch of greedy hoarding twats selling overpriced tech who have rubbed their hands with glee profiteering over this global pandemic in particular.
Should be a Covid tax introduced to the likes of Apple, Amazon, Google etc who have made added billions.

Any company raking in such obscenely high profits should be forced to share their fucking pots of gold. What does Apple* even need with two trillion?

Thankfully my (5 years old!) 6s will run the upcoming iOS14, so I still have zero reason to upgrade

That’s one of the great things about Apple phones, and one of the few things that goes towards justifying their prices - their phones last longer. What five year old Android phone still gets timely security updates and runs all the latest stuff?

Most people have long given up on their phones after five years, update or no update.

Terrible, climate killing, resource wasting, individuals that they are...

It's all good, man
Most 5 year old iPhones must be like Trigger's broom at this stage.

Not really given it’s an almighty faff just to replace the battery let alone anything else. The point stands though - they hold their value pretty well compared to any Android I’ve ever owned.

Mine's had one replacement battery, nowt else. Looks like new, literally not a single scratch on it

I decided on a £100 discount on the current iPad rather that wait for the next one. Be interested to see what the A12 chip can do over the A10.

This might provide cheer then:
"Apple's market capitalization slid over $180 billion as a result of the sell-off, marking the largest one-day loss in value for any company ever, according to Barron's. The report claims the previous record was set by Volkswagen in October 2008, when the automaker lost $153 billion in value in a day, shortly after a massive short squeeze."

I'll only be cheered when there comes a day that such greed is outlawed and such vast sums of money are shared equitably.

Tell that to my mum. Still on an iPhone 6, and does what she needs it to do. Make calls, send messages and browse the web and Facebook! Still getting security updates too despite no major iOS updates.

Perhaps it’s just me, but has anyone else experienced their iPhone no longer wanting to save images from a website to your photo stream? I keep getting error codes such as this one
The issue is easy enough to bypass by simply taking a screenshot of the phone and then saving it as a photo, but I wonder if there’s been some kind of copyright update to the T&Cs and they’re making it more difficult for people to save photographs from websites...

There's plenty of people equally happy on ancient, non Apple phones that cost a fraction of the price tooTell that to my mum. Still on an iPhone 6, and does what she needs it to do.
