apple's continued slide is gonna own

no it's not going to own

apple's board needs to wise up and kick tim and johnny ives to the curb and get things back on the straight and narrow

pare back the phone skus to two (same model, two different colors, at a sensible size), crash the ipad maxi and the ipad mini and salvage the brand, and issue a deeply remorseful mea culpa for the iwatch and move on

like everyone's coming up with all these conspiracies about how apple is playing mind games with their pricing and it probably comes down timb just not being able to source the chips.

Yeah, I guess it would be hard for a company to use money to get other companies to make products. Also literally every other flagship phone comes in a 32 gb variant so I guess they just aren't making the special apple memory.

the argument is that there wasn't a comparably specced chip in whatever lineup, so they'd be paying extra money to get someone to fab 32gb as their lowest cost option.

if you had an iphone you would cause they have no ram and it makes the phones unusable.

yeah, I heard the same. 64G and higher is where everyone should be looking to buy, 16G is really too small these days.

according to settings > general > about

songs 103
videos 623
photos 8,965
applications 19
capacity 55.9gb
available 2.2gb

so a couple "desert island" albums i haven't changed since i got the phone and My Amazing iPhoneography

the camera is a big reason why i got the 5S (the others being retina and speed), and not thinking about deleting photos and videos is why i got the largest option available at the time

in some number of years i'll do the same again
