Don't care about the 7 much TBH, but I've been waiting for the AW2 since like mid-June when I gave away my Pebble to my brother because the Apple refresh should be "any day now".

iPhone stagnation doesn't particularly bother me because my iPhone6 does pretty much everything I want out of a phone. I don't play games on it, I don't use it as a computer. I use three apps: Safari, OmniFocus, Mail. And I make occasional phone calls I guess. Maybe I shouldn't be content with feature stagnation but I just can't bring myself to care that much. That saaaaid, I'm using my own 6 for work so if it turns out that there's a glorious battery in the 7 I'll get them to buy me one.

Probably just a significant improvement in battery life? Maybe if something like Microsoft's Continuum where I could hook up a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the phone and have it run MacOS?

At this point I think this is the only thing that is going to make or break a new phone decision for me.

It's like 80x better than "Apple Watch 2".

Don't disagree, just thought it was different since they were doing iPhone # for forever.

For gently caress's sake, pickup unavailable for the watch.

Yeah, my friend is dragging me with her tomorrow to stand in line at the Apple store because she wants to buy the S2. I told her she's delusional but eh, I'll go anyway. Who doesn't like skipping work for a hopeless cause?

I've been obsessively :f5:ing the reservation site trying to get my hand on a 7+ in one of the 4 apple stores in Toronto. Finally found a neat Python script that just scrapes the site and tells me what's available in the stores I specify. That way I don't have to refresh it as obsessively or get disappointed when it's only the 7 in stock.

They really need to improve the site, though. I lost a reservation twice today because it kept logging me out and having me log back-in with 2FA. :argh:


I'm running the same script to get my hands on a S2 aluminum watch with pearl nylon band. Either Toronto hasn't gotten new stock since launch, or they just go through it quicker than they can update the stock site. I'm massively frustrated.

Louisville is UPS' air hub so it's entirely possible that it'll get to your front door tomorrow.

I guess the secret is to post chill things about your preorder because my morning after order of Oct 10th just shipped.

Well I went into full rage mode about availability and backorders on the watch on twitter and then my watch shipped an hour later so I guess it works both ways.
