ninja edit: This can be attached to anything ranging from: how wide you think the phone is, the lack of iPhone 6 supported apps, how you would make features behave differently, 8.0.2, and the list goes on! Call now to find out more. 1-800-drat

Mobile me does not exist in any form today. iCloud replaced it completely.

Did MobileMe actually do anything different to what iCloud is, though? I only start using Mac products in the last few years so I missed the boat on what it was.

You are so wrong. The iPod HiFi is a BEAST! It really does sound fantastic, I wish they made a bluetooth version.

And it actually goes for more used on eBay now than it ever cost new.

I want an iPhone sock. I still rock my Mobileme account. It's my primary email.

edit: The cube is awesome. I wish I had one for nostalgia. I think we can all agree the puck mouse takes the cake for bad design/idea.

I know that U2 is labeled 'dad rock' around here but they are still a pretty big draw. Giving an album away was a good idea. The auto-download thing is the big failure here.

MobileMe sucked in the beginning, but was awesome afterwards; I still miss the gallery functions. And anyone who thinks the Cube sucked has no heart, no heart at all.

I have a confession, when I would travel I would put my iPod in a sock. Not an Apple Sock�, like a regular, clean sock.

It never bent

Can anyone recommend a good very short or retractable Lightning to USB charging cable? The company I work for is going to be putting out USB power packs soon so I'm going to grab a really slim wallet sized one, so a cable that fits in my wallet would be equally handy for me.

I have a 4 inch Belkin cable that's well constructed and works flawlessly.

The battery life is pretty amazing - my 5 would die at the end of a long morning commute on cold days, the 6+ is around 70%.

Can't compare the 6+ to a 6, but it can handle challenging light well. Got this out of the stock camera app with auto-HDR:

Had my SLR and pro lens, but this was much easier. Not all pictures turn out like that, but I try a lot more with the 6+ camera since seeing that.

Yeah, that's sick.

This is actually my hiking phone protection as well, phone inside a couple of ziplocks, inside a big sock. I'm not gentle with my packs and it goes through river fording and poo poo with no damage. I would consider a pelican case but they tend to weigh nearly a pound on their own so gently caress that.

The whole bag contents also get stuffed inside a contractor garbage bag (the thick plastic ones that cost like a buck) inside my pack, so the sock never gets wet.

Here's a fun display of the evolution of the camera in iPhones:

The advances in the latest devices are a bit more subtle, but if you pixel peep the new stuff is clearly superior.

I sold my unlocked 16GB 5S on SA-Mart for $400. Would recommend. A++++
