lmao I thought all the speculation articles were dumb for claiming Apple was planning to remove the standard headphone jack.

i figured it was probably true. it's a totally apple move.

I dont get why everybody complains about this, the shits just kind of bent it doesnt affect the performance whatsoever

once they develop that problem eventually it will stop making a connection properly and youll have to start wiggling the connector around in the socket praying it makes contact

I had a 2015 Macbook pro for a job and it was poo poo. Sure it was fast, but as soon as you hooked up a external monitor and had a VM running the entire OS bogged down and started rendering things at 15fps. Even with a discreet GPU.

what the gently caress are you talking about I run VMs all the time on my mid-2014 retina Macbooks with 0 issues :confused: with docker now I just about always have some kind of VM running even if it isnt a heavy one but I could have a VMWare Win 10 VM running and it would perform great as would the rest of the native OS X processes. you done hosed something up son

im pretty sure one time my dog fell asleep on my macbook charger (the square brick part) and it burned his stomach and i had to treat the wound for like 2 weeks until it healed. think i could sue apple? those things do get really hot like if i have the charger out on the bed and i accidentally rest my skin (even through clothes) against that thing it is really uncomfortable

Nonsense, you just need the Apple™ DAC with analog output, now available at your local retailer for $399.99

maybe in a way they are actually doing me a favor and my music will sound $399.99 better for it

instead they should just thicken the phone so there is no camera hump and use all that extra surface area to add the audio jack back and make a thicker battery

the iphone 6 already feels kinda fragile (and is IME compared to the 5/5S/SE style) because it's too thin. makes it harder to hold also. or maybe that is just the weird slippery edges that they made or some reason. there's yet another way they could eek out more space: don't round the corners so much.

Yeah but if you drop it within a year it's covered and you can buy the 3 year care plan

i think they just favor aesthetics over usability



look at all their terrible mouse designs over the years
