    Moral of this story. Don't ever speak of Apple in any way other than 100% blind adoring accepting praise.

    You lot are mental.

    and if you want to use your iPhone as a drive there's a super simple app for that. I use to have it on my PC... I can't remember the name. No need to jailbreak or anything.. You can store any file on your iPhone with that program. Google it, you'll find it.

    You'll be happy to fill the 1,3gb left on your iPhone with 1 HD movie ;)

    a 32gb iPhone already filled up with tons of Mp3s and apps doesnt' have plenty of space left for carrying files on it as an external hard drive. A simple and tiny USB key with 64Gb of space will serves you better than using your iPhone.

    "Mini-USB is perfect and universal."

    Mini USB is the most god awful kind of plug I've ever used. It's flimsy, one directional and I've had multiple portable harddrives fail because of those damn mini usb plugs. Hate em.

    • I see that's the only point you could pick up on, haha. I'll assume you accept defeat on the rest.set

    ^ Your last paragraph is retarded.

    People don't seem to understand the concept of criticising a product. These are products we all use every day, what kind of people just accept everything blindly without criticising...? Morons.

    What is it about Apple that makes you all so emotionally involved and feel the need to have to defend them every time someone makes an honest observation about something they don't like?

    It's really curious.

    I've always been a fan of apple. I still really love both my personal and work iMacs. I loved my iPad mini and my iPhone 4S as well. Since then though you can buy a far better, faster, nicer device for half the price and none of the restrictions.

    • But if you criticize, you must irrationally hate Apple! Because Apple is Buddha and Santa!i_monk
    • 'moransyurimon
    • honestly? I only bother because 90% of the stuff I read about Apple on the internet, are people hating.inteliboy
    • The last paragraph meant that every company has flaws, including Apple... you need to accept that, Apple is not aboveESKEMA

    • notes 4 and 8 go togetherESKEMA
    • You must think I'm as stupid as you. I accept Apple has flaws, I'm talking about them in this thread.set
    • Samsung don't charge £25 for a cable...set

    Apple cables have always been a little dodgy but they have improved a lot recently. Never had problems since the last 3 years.
    Mini USB is shit, any USB is shit. they become loose after some time of plug / unplug which is the case with a charger (for an always connected device it's ok).

    If you really need to output to an external monitor, is £25 really that much?

    Documents > Pass any file to phone without cables, like a wireless pen.

    I feel you on the notifications thing, you can dismiss them by swiping to the right, but they come back shortly after.

    Software is not dodgy on my end, iPad 3 works great with iOS7.

    Every other company in the world work flawlessly except this goddamn Apple. Why do they keep fucking up so much!!?

    ^ That's like saying 'Why have a camera on your phone, have you not heard of cameras?'

    Dense.

    • I see your point, but at the same time, any iPhone photo is automatically on the cloud and a connected Macmonospaced
    • so storing them on the phone isn't necessary so much anymore... but I see your pointmonospaced
    • not trying to argue, but just saying that the phone doesn't need to be a traditional HDmonospaced
    • doesn't need to be at all but why restrict access to something you've spent half a grand on?set
    • I think they restrict access so that people don't screw them up. It's worked so far.monospaced
    • walled garden thing... either love it or hate it... mehmonospaced
    • it's not that at all it's so you have to stay within the ecosystem of apple. It's bullshit.set
    • That's a valid opinion. Many people disagree, but you have a point. Not sure what you want to do, but sure.monospaced

    i'm not using USB keys or any other physical objects to transfer files anymore. Have you ever heard of the Cloud?

    • why use the cloud when I can throw a few films on my android device I'm already carrying.set
    • none of the arguments here have any common sense attached to them at all, quite bizarre.set
    • it makes sense though, docs are automatically stored in cloud and transfered to compmonospaced

    Haha how is it a better charging cable?
    Mini-USB is perfect and universal. (Minus shitty iphones)

    Video output to an external monitor needs a cable. A £25 cable that changes every generation of Mac.

    How on earth is storing files on a mobile device a bizarre concept?

    New mac software is always dodgy and iOS7 made my ipad feel like a cheap knockoff.

    If you've never experienced the notification problem then you are one in a million.

    Irrational fan boy.

    • STOP using the stupid shit products then? You own them and then bitch? who's fault is that?monospaced
    • I've moved away from their mobile devices, but moving away from Mac is a little tougher. Still the best out there, unfortunately.set

    • I know you use macs, I use them too. I simply respect apple and am okay with their choices. My opinion only.monospaced

    v

    Better charging cable than any other smartphone out there.
    Cable lasts for years. (I've never had problems)
    Cable is free, comes with phone,

    Video output is wireless via airplay. No cable needed.

    Who uses a phone as a harddrive?? Bizarre idea. Just use any number of cloud services if you must.

    Never experienced "dodgy" software over here.

    I have never had that mac notification problem.

    ...

    so yeah, there's that viewpoint as well.

    Different charging cables to every other smartphone out there.
    Cable lasts less than a year.
    £25 a cable when it should be more like £5.

    Need to buy a new video output cable for every generation of mac.
    £25 a cable.

    Mobile devices don't launch as a hard drive like every single android device, instead have to work through god awful iTunes and can't store general files easily.

    Release dodgy software without the option of downgrading.

    Shows fucking mac notifications every single day with only the option to 'remind me tomorrow'. Impossible to turn off for the average person.

    Pile of shite.
