oh you are talking about the 7 and the 6s non plus tiny phones, yeah that's probably just optical image stabilization.

the 6s doesn't have optical image stabilization. 4.7" iphones didn't get that until the 7.

hell yeah, it lasted like a week on battery and took awesome photos that you could transfer over bluetooth so no lovely cable needed. the trick was using wotanserver to put the stock firmware on it instead of the verizon/at&t branded one that made it slow as hell. you could also make your own themes for it using xml/png/tar. it lasted until I finally went and got an iphone 4 on release. the only problem with it was the lovely sony version of a 30-pin ipod connector on the bottom was flaky, especially near the end.



pretty good for 2003.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

Still upset that you can't rate songs in Music.app anymore in iOS 10. timb, fix this poo poo now. *Trump voice* I have lots and lots and lots of smart playlists that rely on star ratings.

Star ratings can be turned on in iTunes for macos Sierra, I guess they didn't follow through on ios.

this is wrong stymie, iphone 7s are blowing up not because they're charging, just that they're blowing up in boxes before consumers may see them because ???

not saying that i believe it but an iphone in the box is easily charged to 80-90%

they blow up when the batteries overheat, which is most likely during charging

I have a thing for courageous dongles

rapid discharge makes them heat too. just look at the device, don't actually use it. maybe turn the screen brightness all the way down.

I think I had some sketchy hacked firmware on mine, and also about 100 pirated java games. boy those were the days.

yeah there were a bunch of weird versions on wotanserver iirc, the at&t firmware disabled bluetooth file transfer and was incredibly slow. android has continued that proud tradition.

i flew in a 787 first time a couple months ago, it was amazing a+ very smooth quiet ride, beautiful aircraft. then for the second leg of the journey it was an old janky broke down A320 and I thought it was going to fall apart during take-off, the cabin was bumping and twisting and shaking and creaking. it was night and day

thats my 787 story
