I've never owned an apple product and I feel that I'm far enough along now that I kind of have to keep the streak going.

Welp that's my story.

I'm glad I didn't jump on that train when I was young and stupid because I feel like you'd just sunk cost your way into it forever.

I do have a personal PC and I'm glad that is my primary computer since I can deal with it directly and I rely on it for video editing stuff.

Phones I really don't care about and am fine with Apple.

from a hardware perspective it's not an insignificant amount of space compared to the overall volume of the iphone, actually. consider the length of the jack and the internals needed to wire it into the phone itself

They just announced that the 6S's going forward are going to start at 32GB and go to 128GB instead of 16/64 which is pretty cool, since the 7 is going to be 32/128/256

I've temped for Apple, briefly. The first time I did it was the most fantastic job I've ever had. The second time was a bullshit bait-and-switch. The difference? The first position was wholly internal. I reported to Apple employees, I did work involving Apple employees, I did my job, I hosed around on the internet, I got paid, I went home. The second position was supposedly a support gig where I'd be answering the phone to help people to check on the status of their orders but partway into the training, we're being told to start trying to upsell. Gag, hork, vomit. I don't sell poo poo.

Also, their design philosophy is annoying and based more around being a lifestyle brand than actually focusing on the end user's needs.

Definitely disagree we give 16GB SE's out for most employees here because it's a work cellphone gently caress off with your higher capacity desires.

Owners, please reply to the thread on the league page indicating how deep you want the playoffs to go this season. All 16 teams? Top eight? Somewhere in between? Your call. I'll set the numbers permanently in the very near future, so please provide your opinion.
