Have you considered buying an iPhone SE, the best phone on the market? It doesn't bend with normal use.

the vestigial phone only exists to help those coping with the transfer of power from steve to tim. it is like training wheels for the real iphone.

lol the one feature that might have gotten me to install iOS 10 was going to be third party app support in siri. i checked to see if spotify had been updated to support it yet and

you should install iOS 10 because it's incredibly fast

If only the "real iphone" had enough wheels attached to keep it from bending. lol

atomicthumbs: Dec 26, 2010; We're in the business of extending man's senses.

quote:

The revelation comes after JerryRigEverything used hardness picks to determine the makeup of both surfaces on the Mohs� scale of mineral hardness. Previously his tests on the iPhone 6S confirmed the presence of sapphire, but this time both the new home button and larger camera of the iPhone 7 scratched easily using picks that do not damage sapphire.

He concludes: �we know for sure that it is regular glass and not sapphire.�

And here�s where it gets interesting, because Apple still advertises that both the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus as using sapphire (which is considerably more expensive than toughened glass) on the home button and camera lens. Given the new iPhones are marketed as more durable than ever this would be a major let down. I have put these claims to Apple and will update when/if the company responds.

quote:

The controversies around the new home button continue as well following a discovery by Myke Hurley, eagle eyed founder of RelayFM, who spotted the button only responds to capacitive touch not pressure.

This means the button will not react should you be wearing standard gloves since there is no response anymore to physical movement.

any product criticisms aside i don't understand how there's a 3-5 week wait on the series 2 watches considering it's only ever so slightly different

also i've seen a couple pics of the ceramic and it kinda looks like cheap poo poo compared to regular stainless steel

it's completely different and shares few to no parts.

I heard a story today on NPR about how St. Louis had a great desegregation plan in place during the eighties that was serving minority and white students well, but old white people hosed it up and repealed it by 1989. Part of living in the south, I guess.

I've got one and it works well, but if you get a non-chip card (or a non-working chip - about 5% of my chip sales. not a lot but a noticeable amount) you still have to swipe and with no headphone jack you're screwed. I use a iPad not a phone though so it doesn't change poo poo for me.

Can't you swipe on their newfangled Bluetooth reader?

And you've still got the little lightning->3.5mm adapter if you need to use their old magstripe reader that plugs into the headphone jack.

the Bluetooth reader is just for chip and NFC. There's no swipe on it. I use both readers when working depending on what card I get.

Doc Block: Apr 15, 2003; Fun Shoe

The magstripe reader has been awkward to use ever since Apple moved the headphone jack from the top of the phone to the bottom, so I don't think having to have it plugged into the adapter will be that much worse. Haven't tried it yet, though.
