I've tried to get the plus the last 2 times but they were out of stock and I'm all about some immediate gratification when I go to the Verizon store. Maybe this year I'll replace my 6S with a 7+. Either way, my needs with be suited and I'm sure the phone will feel great in my large masculine hands.

nah it just means the fbi exploited something on a phone using 3 year old technology and an outdated os that wouldn't work on newer phones to begin with

and the local pd/fbi were dumb enough to lock themselves out of the icloud backups which are not encrypted and a common method for apple to provide data from court orders

now apple can fully encrypt icloud backups and there's no way to get data from more modern devices going forward thanks to the fbi being stupid

yes it seems like the fbi might have won the battle but lost the war here. I also think Apple probably had something to do with this whether directly or indirectly. Stymie is right

Imagine caring which specific company makes the processor in your phone, even enough to look it up out of curiosity. Jesus Christ.

Apple software is bad, especially Apple Music and iTunes. It's just not bad enough to justify switching to anything else

In the long run, will dongle be good or bad for the world? Good

We have to look at what those user casualties are- just because they're likely doesn't make them innocent! Lets take a look at a few possibilities:

1) A civilian walking down the street to market gets killed by a truck while fiddling for dongle.

2) A civilian asleep in their house is killed when their house catches fire due to a fake dongle.

OK, these two are regrettable innocents being killed- but since Apple doesn't make a habit of targetting poors who walk or buy fake accessories, they're very small in number!

3) An Android user working at a hackerspace gets electrocuted when he plugs a dongle into an electrical outlet.

4) A Chinese preparing a shipment of fake dongles sold on Aliexpress is killed when the shipment explodes.

5) A non-certified tech repairing an iPhone 7 Pro Plus is killed when a dongle shorts.

6) A YouTuber bleeds to death from a paper cut while unboxing dongle.

7) A techbro chokes to death on a dongle that fell into his Soylent without him noticing.

etc, etc. The list goes on. My point is that there are a lot of dipshit poors and idiots supporting non-Apple approved solutions that aren't exactly "innocent" and whose death would rightly please Apple. I'm an Apple user who jailbroke his iPhone and work for a ridesharing but for goldfishes startup, but I acknowledge I'm also a tremendous idiot hellfucker because of what I do. And I think the vast majority of user casualties will not be innocent.

I'm going to buy a iPhone 7 in a month or 2, although my iPhone 6S is only about a year old and still works perfectly.I might get a 7+ if it's in stock when I go to the Verizon Store to buy it, but won't inconvenience myself if not and just get a regular 7. I don't care in the least whether it's got a headphone jack or how much RAM it has

Nah. The Nexus 6P is the best smartphone on the market. Just get over it say "suits my needs" without any more of this pathetic reaching. The SE isn't even an Apple flagship, lol. Deal with it, dude.

android is sub-optimal but lol at buying the cheapo apple phone. way to miss the entire point

i didn't get thet jet black one because apple straight up says it scuffs easy and it had a 2 month wait

same. i am going to upgrade from my 6s black to a 7+ gold. since verizon has apparently gotten rid of all their upgrade incentives that don't involve paying them extra $ monthly for 2 years I just bought it through apple and will get another upgrade in a year's time.

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

my 6s is as-yet unbent, however it will be bent shortly from ab-normal use, specificlally from when i destroy it intentionally

also i did not consider purchasing the steve edition. steve is dead and ive moved on to the tim phone

I dropped my Nexus 4 and it landed flat on the screen with a pebble sticking up past the bumper to shatter it. I swapped the logic board into my brother's Nexus 4 that had a broken logic board, so I had one extra-broken phone and one working one. It worked great, and wasn't even very hard. Plus, it taught me how to open the phone up so I could replace the worn-out battery when it came time to do that.

Androids have fringe benefits even if they are crappier in all other respects

They help you waste your time with broken android phones? Idgi
