so i was gonna sell my 16gb 5 on ebay but i just got an offer from verizon to "recycle" for a $200 acct credit. my 5 is in decent shape but it's a refurb from asurion, has a couple small scratches and there's some purple blotch on the camera that i can't get rid of. looks like 5's are going for a little under $200 new on ebay. should i do the verizon thing ???????????

update after 24 hrs: it's too big kind of but the display is so nice and it's so fast that I almost don't care. 3D Touch is not as great as Touch ID. ok, thanks

browsing is more pleasant with the larger size. one handed typing is not. two handed typing is better for me in portrait than it was on the 5. not sure if the size is a net positive or negative. mostly i don't care/notice the drawbacks. the positives are obvious.

it's kind of an ugly design to look at, at least compared to the 4's awesome design, but it's very nice to hold and use.

e3xcept someone who isunt paying isnt a subscriber, beucause they arent paying a subscription fee to subscribe to the paid subscription based service. they are using a free trial. for exmaple spotify only ocunts people paying their subscription as subscribers, because they udnenrstand the defintiion of the word subscriber, which you apparnetly do not.

monetising unpaid users is only importnant if ur service is available permanently for free, like with spotify. if ur service is unavailable outsuide of promotional periods without paying a subscription then u only care about subscribed users and ur conversation rates, and apple musics current conversion rat eis aroudn 43%. average conversison rates 4 saas is around 25% so they're doing v weel. i hope this clears up ur issue with misunderstanding the word subscribe.

i priced out 30 months of it and it was literally the exact same price in the end. i'm trying to figure out what i'm missing

yeah it's the same with Verizon. the plan actually ends up being cheaper when you do the installment plan because they charge you a $15 line access fee instead of a $40 line access fee

Puppy Galaxy

I think carriers are switching because it's easier to get people to buy a phone and they can say "no contracts!" and be technically correct even though if you do cancel you have to pay the balance on your phone.

Puppy Galaxy

the cool thing about verizon is they make the pricing scheme confusing as hell. they say the line access fee is $40. when i was out of contract on my traditional plan, they gave me $15 discount. then when i asked what it would be for my iPhone 6s with the installment plan, they quoted me $15.

i also have 6GB of data that I used to come close to using up monthly when I had a longer commute to work and lovely wifi at my house. But now I almost always use under 3. but if I price out downgrading to 3GB, my line access fee goes from $15 back to $25, making savings negligible especially since there's a chance i could go over the limit at some point and get charged an extra fee

you couldn't pay me to switch to sprint

this is not at all confusing unless you're retarded

plans under 6gb get $15 discount, those above get $25 if you're out of contract or on edge. how is this confusing?

because it's not at all clear until the checkout process nor is it stated when you select your plan. they're all listed as $40 line access fees.

also edge doesn't exist and i'm on the "more everything loyal" plan whatever that means and still get the $15 price.

Puppy Galaxy

Endless Mike posted:

more everything loyal is your service plan (which i guess they no longer offer to new customers). edge is/was (they don't seem to call it that anymore) the device installment plan. but sorry you're incapable of doing basic research since it's right on their website, even for non customers:


you don't think that pricing structure is designed to be slightly confusing?

i'm not saying it's impossible to understand but it seems overly convoluted

Puppy Galaxy

slightly? sure. not "confusing as hell" as you put it before.

it looks like they've simplified it even more though: current plans are a flat $20 line charge then whatever for data

lmao. this will show up as a $40 charge with $25 credit. don't ask why it can't show up as a $15 charge, it just cant.

so I saw the Steve jobs movie. I thought it was pretty good, albeit sorkiny as hell, but I can tolerate sorkin when he has a director that filters out his worst tendencies. anyway I was curious about a few specific details and I googled how much of the movie was factual and every tech site spergs about how so many facts are wrong and that makes it bad
