How much do you pay for your phone services? It seems to me that the prices in the US are fucking through the roof crazy...
I pay 20€ a month, which gives me unlimited texting to any portuguese mobile number, 250 calling minutes and 1GB of internet access (3G / 4G). If I exceed that, the costs are not that high either..
How much is your mobile bill per month?
- €10-20. Most of my friends have the same provider, so I call/textthem for free. No other calls incl. 3000 texts, 3GB data.lnu
- And since most of my friends and fa,ily have iPhones, I use about 2-3 of the 3000 free text msg's.lnu

I don't get the fuss about the government gaining access to your fingerprint. In Portugal, they have it already for the entire population, it is tied to the person ID card (CC - Citizen's Card). Probably a lot of other EU countries have it too. I think it would be far easier to gain access to my fingerprints hacking the governemnt or the CC card than hacking an iPhone...
- government CAN'T access your fingerprintmonospaced
- I know it can't mono, but the discussion in the interwebz revolves around that... In Portugal they already have it..ESKEMA
- so it seems pointless to me, and don't understand what the fuss is.ESKEMA
- its called civil liberties!utopian

Fingerprint scanner compromised.
- Oh. Continuity's already posted much the same in the ios7 thread.detritus
- ... germans create artificial fingerprint from 1200dpi image of a fingerprint. this is hardly newsworthy.kingsteven
- Easy as pie... : /chossy
- Actually, it is newsworthy given the context Apple's given for its security and how easy it is to do...detritus
- ..I have a laser engraver capable of 1200dpi output which I rent to people - any of whom could fake a fingerprint.detritus
- So, yes - if a solution is billed as being nigh-on perfect, it's worth pointing out where it isn't.detritus
- Also, why point this out given how much unnewsworthy stuff is in here, unless you have some personal point to score?detritus
- You want a badge?
An orange ribbon?
A small cake with your name on?detritus - (you can only pick one)detritus
- you can't have a badge and eat a cake tooraf
- "if a solution is billed as being nigh-on perfect"... where?kingsteven
- there are prizes for hacking the sensor and lifting a fingerprint and using it to unlock a phone... this is neither.kingsteven
- also, the non newsworthy thing was in reference to how much coverage this is getting... not you posting it here.kingsteven
- the only 'personal point' i have for you detritus is in me trooserskingsteven
- haha, yaay!detritus

How come in one breath monospaced is praising apple's phones and yet in another he is 'sticking with his 4s cause the new ones aren't worth the upgrade' this is hard to understand.
- because I wouldn't drop $600 on a new phone no matter whatmonospaced
- how hard is that to understand? I'm also not praising their phone, I'm praising the companymonospaced
- what's also hard to understand is how people know about hte upgrade, hate it, and then upgrade anywaymonospaced
- JUST to complain, and then say Apple's doomed while they sell millions of the damn thingsmonospaced
- ohhhh are you angry cause you're not eligible for an upgrade?!doesnotexist

I'm due for an upgrade now. Vodafone just offered me the 5S 32GB free if I trade in my 4S 16GB, on a £45 p/month contract. My current spend is £45 p/month so not too bad

“There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution.”

For the moment I'm sticking with my iPhone 4s. I skipped iPhone 5 because it was not worth the upgrade as well as this regurgitated abomination of a phone.

- me too, not worth the upgradekilroii
- I actually want a plastic one again, so it doesn't risk shattering when dropped... maybe next yearmonospaced
- that cheap phone really helps Apple's reputation of superior products, haha.utopian
- I hear that even though it's plastic that it still exudes very high-quality, it doesn't even bend slightlymonospaced
