Gonna buy this diamond encrusted phone so that I don’t need a case. Only 563k USD too what a deal.

They use well machined metal buttons which every other bespoke leather case manufacturer seems entirely incable of doing

I'm honestly amazed they still exist...I seriously didn't look them up until just now...

...but at least I get a concierge! The best you can get with an iPhone is belittling an Apple Store employee!

Things like this always remind me of Ocean's 13. Al Pacino's character becomes obsessed with getting this super expensive and exclusive cell phone. When we see it the phone is just this tacky old brick dumbphone painted gold with a diamond on it.



The movie came out after the first iPhone was announced and just weeks before it went on sale.

When I shattered my screen it was a brand new phone, but I think that's just due to the nature of fulfilling the request entirely online and, y'know, advancing me a replacement.

Might be a part replacement if you do it in store. It was back when I had my 7 Plus

It's a cheap new model with a similar design, their feature phone lineup is entirely nostalgia driven.

100%, I have no idea how people can cope with the slipperyness of naked iphones, they’re like a bar of soap. There is zero chance I’d trust a naked phone to stay in my pocket while cycling, with any kind of pocket.

It’s literally stressful to even leave it on the arm of a sofa as it’ll always wriggle it’s way off. I maintain that a hard slippery finish on a device you hold is a mistake, and a case makes phones more functional as well as the protection aspect.

I miss the novelty of my iPhone 5C. It was such a cute little phone and a great gateway drug into the apple ecosystem. Don’t think I’m gonna have that level of excitement again.

Though come to think of it, the jump from the 5C to the 7 Plus was huge and I got a little giddy taking the phone out of the box and doing the transfer. I dunno what next iPhone is gonna do that for me

This has been going on more often lately. It’ll give me the notification even when my AirPods and MBP are in my bag next to me.

Edit: I’m pretty sure I still saw this on 16.6 when I went back to it for a while. So I’m not sure if this is totally a beta only problem.

The left behind notifications are extremely annoying when you’re on vacation. At a minimum; it should recognise that they’re in the same drat place I parked the car and not notify me when I park somewhere and grab some lunch on the road. I can understand when I’ve left them in my hotel room.

It’s still a problem even on latest 16. I routinely get told that my wallet has been left behind on a walk when it’s in my pocket

I don’t think it’s beyond the realm of Apple’s capability to know that the location that it knows I left my iPad is the exact same location as it already knows I parked my car and draw the conclusion that the iPad is in the car and not in fact left behind.

After all it doesn’t notify me that I’ve left it behind when I leave my house each day.

With the silicone case on my 13 mini I’m always reminded very strongly of the 5c, which I agree looked great. I think if it was cheaper when it came out it wouldn’t have been so poo poo on by people. It didn’t help that the 5s released alongside it is objectively, empirically and scientifically the single best looking object Apple has ever designed.

I’m on 16 and I get frequent messages that I’ve left my AirPods or iPhone sitting on my work desk when i goto the bathroom and there’s someone else in there (I’m guessing there needs to be someone else in there for the Find My Device thing to work since I don’t have a cellular watch nor do I have wifi available at work). I used to get messages that I’ve left my iPad at home too every freaking day I dunno what I did to stop those ones.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I would honestly not mind the messages if even once it found my AirPods when I actually lost them.
