Here we go again ::) 10/09/2013

Looking forward to iOS7 myself, But i very much doubt i'll get the iPhone 5S or 5C whatever it's going to be called unless it has something worthwhile with a "WOW" factor as I'm still happy with the iPhone 5 apart from battery life which hopefully iOS7 will cure doubtful i know but live in hope ::).
Have heard rumours of a Apple Smart Watch to rival the Samsung watch and possibly a Apple TV (a actual TV not that little black box..)
any predictions ?
:y
-
It won't help battery life, is my bet.
I'll update the ipad first and see, before considering the phone.
-
Doubt this is going to turn out to be true..
"New Feature?
This is always the part Apple seeks to surprise us on. The “One more thing..” phrase might be rested out of respect to the legend that is Steve Jobs, but, there’s got to be something that sets the 5S apart from its predecessor. I’m not convinced the gold option and the possibility of a 128GB storage are going to be enough.
Will it be a fingerprint sensor? Leaks would suggest that something is different about this iPhone’s Home Button. But, there’s no way of knowing whether it’s because it’s being quipped with a fingerprint scanning sensor, or something else. I’m almost certain that there won’t be NFC on an iPhone any time soon, and so I’m struggling to come up with anything that could resemble a new, unique selling point besides the fingerprint scanning home button. I’m happy to be surprised on this one."

Maybe that will be the "WOW" feature on the new phone ;D
-
Even if this fingerprint feature turns out to be true which i doubt even more after thinking if you use a iPhone case such as OtterBox which i do, This would mean taking it off or get another type of protective case, Unless obviously the people who make these cases redesign their cases to work round this somehow.

I have no reason to be concerned about a third party owning my details. But I have no reason to give them away either.
For instance work have the right to random drug test via swabs from saliva. Ok. But I don't like them keeping that info. They are an incompetent bunch of eejits at the best of times, same as most places. Why would I tust them with my swabs(DNA? or whatever) and so, why would I trust Apple with my finger prints?
No I don't think so. Personally. :)

I can just see the crApple fanboys bashing away like safari park chimps.
At the end of the day, who cares. My gayphone does what I need it to do, so can't see me buying a new one unless I break/lose mine. Which hopefully won't be before Microsoft and Google have got their respective acts together and produced a useful, usable OS.
-
sort of ditto...... who gives a crapple ? i like my iphone 3GS just fine...... and my ageing irreplaceable 17" Macbook pro, (with Pci-express slot, and firewire and DVI , ) and my old tower format Mac Pro workstation.... (WITH PCI-e slots !!! wooohoo , so i can actually use the specialist audio DSP cards i have !!! )
don't want an iBiscuit-Tin-Pro , that can;t interface with half the stuff i use.
don't want a stupid small screen laptop .... when what i do "on location" requires screen real estate AND portability....
don't need another row of icons on my phone thanks.... it makes phone calls really quite well...
iPad.... okay, i'd quite like one, for work use, and when the studio needs to replace it's control surface , i might just get one.... as it's cheaper than a new control surface.... but then i'd have to leave it at the studio......

Yeah, sadly, the crApple iPhone is the only viable smartphone for me. Still. >:(
I can live in hope that either MS or Google will remove thumbs from arses, but won't hold my breath.
Gooseberry, is obviously a non-starter, as they will be up the Gary Glitter within 12 months, and nobody will rescue them... ...unless MS wants to make a 2 pronged attack.

I'm not 100% sure can't remember.
Am i correct in thinking iOS7 will come with the option to update "over the air" without the need to connect to a computer if your running iOS6 and be the first time this has been available or was this option available last year and I've just gone forgetful ?
For the life of me i cant remember how i updated my last "i" device ???
-
wireless update already in place.
-
... Has been for some time now. ;)
Although mine is so far behind it can't tell if there's an update available or not. So i guess it will need iTunes if I do update.
-
I appreciate the build quality and stable smooth simple running of apple devices, But seriously who would do this for something which doesn't even exist as of yet :o ;D

Who cares. Surely such a major update you'd do via gayTunes anyway. As much of anything, that helps clear out all the crap.
crApple aren't really going anywhere, haven't since iOS3 that was a major advance. 5 offered a useful slide-to-deal with notifications on the lockscreen, and I do find siri genuinely useful.
-
Less than 24 hours to go... Does look more refreshing iOS7.

Had iOS7 on a few phones here for several months, nothing massive really from iOS6.
Change here is going from Steve Jobs style of giving icon depth, realism. Look at the camera icon on iOS6, it attempts to replicate reality. iOS7 its flat, everything is flat. Lot of Apple fan clubs who do graphic design really don't like the direction its gone.
Hardware is going to have to be impressive, have to see, but Apples marketshare is at an all time low.

If looking closely the detail is very good, Not a fan of the new camera icon, It would have looked better without the yellow dot.. Good comparison picture below, Presuming they don't change anything on the released version..

I mean iOS6 Camera icon looks better detailed.

Sorry thought you were saying iOS7 images were better, my mistake :y
Apple without Steve does appear to be having a real impact, it was widely reported he was very against iPad Mini. Looks now he is going they are doing everything he was against.
I've had 4-S for some time now, seen nothing so far which makes me want to change. :(
-
If there is little new, I'll be sticking with IOS6.
I fail to get excited over crApple announcements.

Having had a 3GS and a 5, the only real benefits of the 5 (which were all in the 4) are, in order, 900Mhz 3G, speed and Wifi tether.

Likewise I went from 3G-S to 4-S, only reason was screen failure on 3.
There was a 5, but that was not available for long term "loan" ::)

Looks like iPhone 3Gs users stop at iOS6

TBH, the 3GS was utter shite on IOS5 or IOS6 anyway. Fortunately, crApple still sign IOS4.1 for 3GS users...
Apart from a nice feature to swipe notifications on the lockscreen, neither IOS5 or 6 offered anything useful anyway. I doubt 7 will.
-
I don't think it will be a phone (apart from a new, cheapo plastic one), I think it may be tv related.
Or maybe.......two new phones....5C cheapo.... and new one.. ;D

iPhone 5C
(http://images.scribblelive.com/2013/9/10/489a1350-fd22-4043-9ba1-c76835c76b72_400.png)
Entire back and sides are made from one part.. of plastic
Exactly the same specs as the iPhone 5, but with a plastic back.

iPhone 5S
(http://images.scribblelive.com/2013/9/10/4859117a-4b0f-4229-a02a-44e6346ec78b_400.png)
Colours: Space Grey, Gold and Silver
5S battery life - 10 hours of talk time.. that's up 2 hours from last generation.
Made of high grade aluminium
A7 chip installed - 64 bit, It's over twice as fast as the iPhone 5, Graphics are 56x faster.
m7 - A new "motion coprocessor" runs alongside the A7 and manages the gyroscope, compass and acce
lerometer.
(http://images.scribblelive.com/2013/9/10/d5e1c5d9-6b43-4b94-bcba-6ad2d73869c2_400.png)
New camera has aperture of F2.2, 15 percent larger active area, New five element lens, Bigger pixels - better picture, So, no more pixels, just bigger ones...

...Looks like i was correct..
iPhone 5S
"The common way is to set up a password or Pass Code"
But, Apple's introducing 'Touch ID'
(http://images.scribblelive.com/2013/9/10/2aa975c7-b679-43b9-81e7-cb69942e345e_400.png)
Touch ID capacitive sensor, 170 microns thin, 500ppi resolution, scans sub-epidermal skin layers..
Laser cut sapphire crystal, surrounded by stainless steel detection ring, then the Touch ID sensor and the tactile switch underneath everything.
You can touch your home button to unlock your phone, Also, home button won's scratch, You can also use it to log in and buy apps from the App Store.
(http://images.scribblelive.com/2013/9/10/3a3c981f-dc3c-4a35-8d6e-766a82f44b1c_400.jpg)
No more need for your iTunes pass word.
(http://images.scribblelive.com/2013/9/10/d1812b49-724e-4ba7-bad3-0d56f3beff44_400.jpg)
It can handle handle multiple fingerprints, and can read from various angles.
Finger Print ID is never available to other software, and isn't store in iCloud. It's a device only affair. Only your phone knows your fingerprint.

So 5s is £20 more than the old 5, and the 5c is basically a plastic old 5. Why didn't they just say that.
-
I don't think there's enough gain this time round to buy the 5s then sell the 5. iPhone 6 in 12 months time then ;D

No single model change was ever enough to upgrade, unless you really were a crApple fan through and through. I just you could argue that the iPhone 3G offered 3G that was mysteriously missing from the original iPhone, and the 4 offered wifi tethering. But otherwise each new release has been minor evolutionary steps.

Never had a 3G/3Gs but i imagine screen resolution ain't great with it not having retina display :-\.. 1st iPhone was the iPhone 4 16GB BUT it had poor signal if you held it in a particular way main reason for getting 4S 16GB.. The iPhone 5 32GB more memory was needed, bigger screen and faster and better colour to the screen easier to read/see and better camera..

Resolution doesn't really mean anything on such a small device. Certainly not worth upgrading for.

Was expecting more tbh, can't see finger print stuff being much use. Looks like a gimmick to me, what happens to unlocking phone during lunch? Use it when on car DIY work, so got gloves on then.
It's a bit faster, with a better camera. Think i will stick with 4-S for now.

Yep and most people have cases for them, I have one of these on the 5 as in the picture, Its a robust case ideal for use outdoors. But how would the fingerprint work with a case like this, and all the above...

What I actually meant though, ignoring what carrier files that crApple send down, is iPhone 4 supported wifi tethering, whereas the 3GS only supported BT or cabled tethering.

And this from a man who bought an Orlando with, wait for it....

I'm guessing you don't have a clue what "in the car" does either then Esta.

Do you have an iOS7 ready omega then, Gayboy? Or are you going to waste even more money on in-car devices so you can be gay on the move? ;D

Haven't had any major problems with iOS7, Only small issue the animation takes a second or two longer than it used to, Apart from that it's fine, Plus now the folders are bigger so no need for so many :y
Haven't been able to use airdrop only apple device I've got is the iPhone.
Haven't seen anything called in the car, Maybe only for newer cars :-\

So, as our Jobs crazed crApple fanatic. Should I upgrade from my perfectly stable and usable ios 6.1 to the buggy ios 7, and why?
I'm not gay, so "because it looks cool" isn't a valid reason. TBH, I think it looks crap anyway, but thats unimportant.

I'm not updating mine, just about got to grips with it as it is.

iPhone 4, 4S, 5 can only be upgraded to iOS7 though unless you've got another apple device ?
I'd say if you have a iPhone 5 yes upgrade to iOS7 but any other iPhone seen as I don't have another iPhone apart from the 5 I can't comment on how iOS7 affects the devices performance.

Im taking the same approach as i do with MS products.....wait until a SP is released. So in this case i'll stick with ios 6.1.3 until 7.* is released :y

Something like this ?
The obvious, Fresh look like or hate it, Folders now hold loads of apps...
Handy quick access to a few features by swiping from the bottom of the screen upwards, AirPlane mode on/off, WiFi on/off, Bluetooth on/off, Do not disturb on/off, Portrait Orientation Lock on/off, Screen brightness adjustment, Music player, AirDrop, Flashlight, Alarm/Clock app, Calculator and Camera..
Siri has been refined and you can change the voice, Photo's app has been improved more organised, Mail app has been improved somewhat you can mark all as read and more I'd imagine have looked too much into it, Safari browser has been improved with a few handy features like I've mentioned in a previous post swiping from side to side to go back or forward, To close a tab just swipe and to look through just scroll through the open tabs, While browsing a page while scrolling down on portrait view unlike before all icons vanish and re-appear with a touch of any of the corners or if you scroll upwards..
I'm sure there are other reasons plus/negative points...
Personaly I like it OVERALL, Apart from the animation which slows things down a second or two.. :)

I'd like to ask others who have updated to iOS7, Have you noticed any improvements in battery life or is it worse, Please also include what type of device your talking about I.e. iPhone 4S, iPad 3 etc Thanks :y
-
None of those new features are particularly must-have. In fact, sounds like crApple are clean out of fresh ideas. Certainly not worth the pain of upgrading...
-
And this from a man who bought an Orlando with, wait for it....

So what did google tell you fat head? I can't be arsed to search it, as the expert is clearly in here.
I'll never be as gay as you want me to be, as your impossible to please. Now stop the grooming sex pest. I'm sure your a TB alias anyway. ;D
-
Another small but hany feature, Previously you could have a maximum of 8 tabs open on Safari, Now it looks like you can have as many as you like, I had 14 open without realising.
Also Apple have added new ringtones and message alerts to chose from and the classics are still available. Hardly worth mentioning but still it's something new.
I'm not sure about battery life on my year old iPhone 5 compared to iOS6, Put it this way post #81 I had 54% left, Now I have 34%. But have been using it now and again just browsing on Safari mainly.

Bah, not worth the bother really, certainly on the ipad. But the ipad is legit so nout to worry about there anyway.
Its the (note Esta>) iphone ::) that's the awkward one. :(

"NOT an ipad" then, ya rather eejit ;D
-
I'm afraid to say it but best to say it to warn others, iOS7 does affect the iPhone 5's battery life even more than it did before, Maybe i haven't set it up correctly mind, But its got some 15% less by the time i put it on charge on average sometimes near to 5% left. Maybe the battery needs replacing who know. Probably still under warranty :-\ The biggest problem with the iPhone 5 has been the battery.
-
Safari just crashed on ipad. Lost text. >:(
-
My samsung galaxy s, which I have had for nearly three years, runs as fast as it did when new. But it's not clogged up with unnecessary shite.
-
iPhone 4-S, upgraded for work reasons. Performance is slightly down, not as instant as before. You don't really notice it day to day, but it's there.
Is worth upgrading? Probably not, the much muted control centre and such has been available since I've upgraded. Times I've used it? 0.
That said I don't listen to music on my phone, if I did perhaps I would use features?
Have to say, the lock screen is a step back. I cannot find options to customise front size for lock screen, why would I want that? To fit more mails on it. With iOS6 I could see multiple alerts on lock screen without scrolling, at least a few e-mails and a text. Now? Just a single item! :(
Yes I have set font size to smallest, which works in say browser/sms but lock screen is bit shoddy really.
Search feature? Nice change, is it worth upgrading? No.
Browser is a nice update, bit cleaner, appears to "slim" everything down when scrolling. Auto hides back buttons and such, but find myself wanting them, but not displayed. So have to scroll up fast to trigger them.
Icon's are fresher, but I prefer Job's approach to realism. Flat Icons are a little dull...
Calender? Well that's better, but just basic improvements.
Photos? Well that's sorted better, by date time/location. Do I need this feature? Doubtful. Pano's and movies have their own section, but i could tell those apart before.
Battery life? It's the same, I feel everyone who says it worse is because they are using this shinny new OS more. Once they settle back to "normal" use, and an update as come out (7.0.1) suddenly the issue is fixed ::)
Apparently some of the GUI affects are disabled on everything but 5-S, which we have arriving today apparently. So will compare.
-
So just got my hands on the 5-S & 5-C.
The 5-S
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/803897/Misc/2013-09-26%2009.31.51.jpg)
First impressions? Not great, the "Sapphire" in the home button, has made it feel cheap, using it with 5-C the C's home button feels a lot more solid. Really is a gimmick for me, I often let others share my phone for calls, or check maps or something. Can't see this catching on.
It's not a massive improvement on my 4-S, I certainly won't be trying to make this my phone like I did with 4-S ::)
I actually prefer the 5-C
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/803897/Misc/2013-09-26%2009.52.08.jpg)
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/803897/Misc/2013-09-26%2009.51.05.jpg)
It feels much like my old 3G-S, it's much nicer to hold, corners not so sharp. Feels like it can taking a beating, less fragile.
That said, neither has made me go "Yes, I must upgrade from 4-S"
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/803897/Misc/2013-09-26%2009.50.25.jpg)
When my current one dies, I might have to jump ship ::)

-
Useful, cheers tunnie :y
So my instinct not to bother with the pain of updating my gay 5 to IOS7 was correct?
Mrs TB needs to get away from her 3GS at some point, but with only having 2G at work, she's not really using it now...

I had a look at the HTC 1 when I got mine,nice phone but I thought it quite heavy,at least it felt heavier than the Experia Z that I ended up with,glad I got the Z though as its a cracking bit of kit :y

Seems Tunnie is correct about the battery life it seams about the same as before.

iOS7.0.2 is available now to download. Said on my screen the file size was 21mb.

Yep, downloading on ipad.

And yes its unresponsive, slightly. Bit no worse than the previous 6.0 Afaict.

Seems they are somewhat cheaper now the apple website has been updated, The 4.7" iPhone 6 64GB is £619 was expecting the 64GB version to be near £700... The 5.5" iPhone 6 Plus 64GB is £699,

And the phones are both too big. Way too big.
I refer to the appearance btw. I don't do watches anyway, but its quite clever. Of course. But fugly. Very very fugly.
Ios8 is of more interest. :)

So far the iPhone 6 Plus 64GB is the one that's tickling my interest ::) ;D

Been resisting the iGay movement ever since the Craple 3g, have a normal phone with proper buttons for making phone calls, anything else gets done on my Nokia N9 64gb which runs Linux Meego OS which is still a joy to hold and use, theres not much I cant do with it, and anything I cant I probably dont need. ;)
-
I dropped my iphone last night in water(the loo to be precise :D)
Left it in rice over night and hey presto working a treat :y
Before you ask it was before the sit down moment and luckily I had cleaned and scrubbed it yesterday afternoon :)

If you liked Meego, have a look at Jolla.
According to mini me, its designed and built by ex nokia engineers who defected when Meego was scrapped :)

Yes, been looking at SailFish (Jolla) for a while now, the N9 will happily run it, its pretty much Meego 2 that will run its Own and Andriod Apps, just plucking the courage to Brick Port my Phone. ::)
The Jolla Boys are doing really well since being shafted leaving Nokia, and have already got their own 4G Phone. the Jolla Team are small enough and hungry enough to get there market share, but more to the point thereon the same side as the millions of Ex Nokia Lovers who got dumped on by Nokia prior to getting into bed with Microsoft.
Microsoft must be kicking themselves as the new Nokia Win Mobile relationship isn't getting its forecasted market share, plus a lot of other Mobile Manufactures are closely watching Jolla Teams OS.
3 Network have already put the Jolla Phone in their mobile portfolio in Asia and Samsung are also looking into trials with the Jolla OS.
I wonder if its pay back time for MS, Anyone remember some time back when IBM said "Ok you Microsoft Boys can run along and do your own thing, we have all we need for now"

That's the jist of what mini me said Chris :)
I believe he talks to them occasionally about various stuff but he has pretty much stopped writing apps at the moment. He did flirt with Blackberry but is now in his 2nd year of a painting and decorating course at collage so most of his time goes on that.

If you missed it, (or didn't bother ;D ) there was one last "...one last thing"
U2 played thier latest single from their new album at the end of the event, and "just like that" they agreed to give away the entire Album to all itunes customers.
So heads up! You may find a new U2 album in your music collection. If not, go to iTunes. Follow the U2 banner at the top. Should lead you to paid purchases. Etc etc. I guess....
It just appeared in my music. In....5 , 4 , 3 , 2 , 1 :y
-
So, watched the video, off to iTunes, found the music, clicked air play, instantly belting out of my home cinema. :y
