If that's it, they can't truthfully say it's the "most elegant" or whatever marketing gibberish they think of, because it wouldn't be true. ;)
- And tens of millions of brainwashed idiots all over the planet will buy them, right?monospaced
- people will still buy em, myself included - doesn't mean i have to like the design, right?inteliboy
- Rightmonospaced
- they're still building the most solid phone. Not all plastic like the Samsung phones.benfal99
- Yeah. They use great materials.monospaced

- Those seams look so ugly. I don't understand why they can't make a phone that doesn't have huge seams and lines everywhere.iCanHazQBN
- everywhere.iCanHazQBN
- It's for the antennas... but yeah, still, it's not looking great. Possibly one of Apple's worst.inteliboy
- Agreed. I really hope this isn't the design and I've seen nothing but criticism about it. Oh well, a case will cover that up.mg33

- and you know this because? oh... the rumor sites and leaked case moldings?monospaced
- it's likely it'll be similar, of course, but the fact remains this is only a fan concept based on rumoursmonospaced

ummm ... reading this thread and it gets tired really quickly ... macs are macs and pc's are pc's - different machines for different jobs - get a mac to design any day of the week - the experience is better, more intuitive when your navigating the desktop it just feels a better machine and it always has - from the days when you can only get fonts for the mac and pc's had a green blinking cursor ... to today when it still has the edge for design work and visual creation
Pc's get them to crunch numbers any day of the week - you want 3d get a pc - you want video get a pc - you want to shift heavy data get a pc - but please get your head out your arse if you think thats gonna happen on a "value for money machine" - it gonna cost you more than any mac out there to do what you need -
so If you want to make a letter or a spread sheet - then get what you want - a tablet, a fucking phone the size of a newspaper, a surface pro, an ipad, an imac, a mac air, a powerbook, an asus, a HP two piece - it actually makes no difference the experience is pretty much the same - it comes to down to price - to habit - even down to comfort - or that you want to look like a hipster at the cafe ... but word is word - chrome is chrome - excel is excel and numbers is numbers - they all open each others files without screwing up and if not just go open source and take the high ground on everyone - (btw you look a dick doing that and ramming it down our throats like you're in some way superior by using software that gets updated by lots of people has an hourly update and then generally fucks up and loses lots of data and important shit - personally experienced lots and lots of times)
but realistically anything cheap doesnt run the hardcore apps on either platform mac or pc - so 3d, image manipulation, video, they just don't cut it in terms of performance on something that costs you sub $500
hd screen - touch screen - all these things all improvements but do they make your day any better? or your work quicker - get me a mouse or a pro tablet and i'll kick your ass on any computer - its not technology that makes things quick - its fucking practice - years and years of practice - i have no desire to create with a touchscreen - because after two minutes the screen is covered in your finger grease - (look at your phone right now - see ... ) how does that help your creative process ... in any application ...
As to whether we store files in a cd, dvd, hardrive, usb or the cloud ... they all fail ... they all fuck up - everything i have ever stored any files on has lost me data - and to say the cloud is safe - lets just hope your $5 a month unlimited storage is still there in 5 years when your entire life is stored there ... realise they are a business like any other - and if they go out of business - who's paying to keep the servers running ... just a thought ...
rant over ... but based on using both platforms for work and pleasure since way back in the late 80's (that's called experience by the way ... )
Love you all xxx

the iWatch will have wireless charging, as will the iPhone 6.
You heard it here first.

I just want one feature in the next version of IOS.
I want to be able to delete my emails without workarounds, magic and wishes. Just fix it. It hasn't worked for years.- http://www.mailboxap…ideaist

I think mono should take some of that 1000% profit and buy us all some iPhone6's. Should help his stock and will certainly make me happy.
I'll promise to say only nice things about Apple too. :-)

in 16 days : iWatch and new iPhones!!
can't wait
- they haven't announced any "iWatch" or even trademarked the name.monospaced
- i would think iwatch is a lame idea. but what do i know.pango
- btw. good time to sell iP4 and buy 2nd hand iP5spango
- experts are pretty sure a watch will be announcebenfal99
- right... I'm just saying I highly doubt it'll be a "watch" or that it'll be called iWatchmonospaced

We need a slick new open source operating system that embraces things like sketch and webflow. Would be wonderful to get away from Apple and Adobe but right now they are the best (only) options available.
- I find a good Windows machine offers a similiar ADOBE experiencemonospaced
- Adobe products and Chrome are the exact same on Win and Apple. Thats all we need.benfal99
- Speak for yourself.set
- I agree mono Adobe is fine on a good windows machine. Just very much dislike the OS experience.set
- I'm with you 100%, set. I use Macs, but have had to use Windows machines before.monospaced
- I know a lot of Windows guys will argue with me, but navigating the OS and file mgmnt is awesome on OS Xmonospaced
- I can't STAND that there's no command for a new window in Windows. And search is a joke.monospaced

I can bitch and moan about all of my issues with the newest Retina MBPRO i am on right now, but after a few months of trying to use a new ASUS touch enabled windows 8 laptop i can honestly say i can deal with whatever the "White Glowing Apple" throws at me.
Attempting to get a PC that had decent case design(it was a good rip off of a a macbook), Decent specs and something Apple is yet to offer(the touch screen)... I was in a world of hurt. Windows 8's using buddies of mine were touting how its finally fixed so many things that were wrong with windows. Oh man, if that was "fixed" i am glad i missed all the broken iterations since XP Pro which was the last winblows OS i was using solidly.
- Yup, unfortunately Apple is currently the only way to go when it comes to computing..set
- << the entire world runs on a mixture of windows and linux machines, says apple is the only way to go, ......GeorgesIV
- Windows is the worst experience possible on a computer and linux doesn't run adobe, moran.set
- Run CS5 fairly well on my shitty vista machine, but I'm not a special snowflake that need a magical machine to get shit done, so I won't complainGeorgesII
- done so I won't complain,
apple are better at computing, comonn mateGeorgesII - you are used OS, why would you think you could switch and it would be magical? You have to know what you use.formed
- Why do you assume I haven't used windows? My opinion is based on experience with both. Obviously.set
- the idea that Macs aren't serious "computing" computers is really not a strong argument anymoremonospaced

I find all this very enjoyable. Please carry on.
This is productive. Competition and bitching are great qualities of capitalism and I, for one, look forward to the ongoing war.
My turn...I hate that my 4S is full of photos, middle of a boating ride it fills up. No way to do anything but delete photos. I also have a S5 that I can add storage to, drag and drop anything (amazing concept there! No locking users into some ridiculous software or format), just wonderfully simple, like most computers...too bad it feels like a piece of cheap plastic.
I just want the best product out there, doesn't matter who makes it really. The sapphire rumors had me intrigued, but now it looks like those are just rumors. Now the M8 with Windows looks intriguing (iOS7, while light years ahead of iOS6, it still feels old), maybe even wait to see how Android L looks.Really, though, all of them are looking pretty good. Even Samsung is responding to my criticism of their plastic!
