can you order for in-store pickup?

I'm pretty sure but if you have t-mobile they're giving you $300.00USD in exchange for iPhone 6 or newer in prep for the new releases

iirc they usually allow for pickup after the first week or so of ordering have passed but they might allow it right away too

if they had somehow gotten rid of the camera hump the normie 8 would have been an unqualified success for me i think. at least the hump is graded a bit, where the x looks like it's sharply squared off

its square so when the phone slides around on the imat cause of its glass back it catches on the edge and stays put.

hey, so: decided to peep at the iyg iphone thread, only to have one of the posters melt down when he realized his av/custom text loudly outs him as loving to gently caress realdolls. including a link to the post where he admitted to it in bss. he did not realize up until now about the text because he only uses awful.app but was fine with the pic (of a realdoll) otherwise

in summation: iyg. iyg never changes

Thank you (I guess?) to whoever got me the avatar. I will say, the Real Doll molds are pretty great and the customization you can do is insane. Not to give TMI but the fact that I can't BE with my girlfriend while she's away but I can still be with a vaginal facsimile has made a huge difference. Laugh if you want but it's just like LD couples that FaceTime regularly (which we also do). Thought y'all fellow figure-heads would understand my appreciation but to each their own! Enjoy your horsie, freak. It's a friggin kids show...

I kind of think that the camera wart may be here to stay because it is one of the last somewhat distinguishing design features on an iphone now that they are getting rid of the home button. same with the screen notch.

there's no excuse for any kind of blurry scaling of 1080p content since 4k is just 2x 1080p, so they could just do point sampling and get clean 1080p sized pixels on the 4k display

this is the kind of thing where i wouldn't be surprised at all if a tv manufacturer couldn't get it right, or would flat-out refuse to put it in. every lcd/plasma tv i've ever used has had tons of bad "enhancements" and a lot of the settings are interlocked, so i have always felt like i could never get the settings to be actually "good" but instead i just had to settle with "less bad"

aren't there a half-dozen variations of the 4k resolution that don't exactly 4:1 map from 1080?

The leather case has a good feel, especially when it's worn in. That and I can't give up iMessage without feeling weird

a lot of TVs don't even have the full amount of pixels you might assume they have. my parents' first plasma tv claimed to be 1080 but in tiny print in the manual it gave a much lower X by Y number of pixels

qi charging works through quite thick cases its not like apple had to do something special to make it work

it looks odd that apple have gone for the pocket layout with openings directed towards the screen though. i guess it's american love for cash, here most folio cases have just a few vertical card slots

magnetic induction goes through pretty much anything that isn't conductive. unless your cases are made of metal, they're probably fine for wireless charging.

Same. Here I was thinking it was cool to have a dedicated area to always show the status icons. What a moron I am.
