I suppose Jack will still get his 300 quid back after a year ownership even for a bent one, if he takes it straight back to apple anyway


( I assume they'll just brush the fault under the carpet )

You obviously haven't seen the iPhone 6, how the curve of the screen fits the curve of the device. It's unlike anything before it, as only Apple seem to be able to manage.

Lets be clear, this is a discussion forum, this is the computer related section, the 16th is a launch day for new Apple products, do you think people might like to discuss that launch? Maybe without your needless commenting.

And it couldn't be in the existing Apple launch thread you created a week or so ago?

Jack, you're here solely to promote your brand at every opportunity


We're here to tear it down/ keep it real , that's the way it works.

No, completely different subject and have you seen the state of that one? One or two posts from interested parties then pages of trolling posts from you and your mates. And you're doing it again.

That's right, I've here for positive reasons and you're here to be a trolling arsehole. I guess it gives you purpose.

All you lot have to do is **** off and leave him to it. It's not hard. People interested in Apple get their discussion and the big nasty Apple fanboy isn't mean to you.

I gave you the benefit of doubt and searched for the 9680, are you on another planet? You need to hold the iPhone 6, look at the side view, it's a work of art.

I don't think so, but I think a few suprises might be on the cards.

I'm just hoping the live stream is back on form, that somewhat spoiled this years game changing event, the watch.

Don't forget the 9680 was released 3 years ago. Technological limitations aside, it was way a head of its time in terms of its screen design, the way the curve of the screen fits the curve of the device beautifully which clearly the Apple iEpilator 6 took its inspiration from.

Hope you're feeling the excitement, less than an hour before you get a glimpse of the future.

Jack advise me

So I'm ordering new iPad air 2 tomorrow was gonna go 128 but settling for 64 now I have external Sandisk media drive...

I'm also interested in Mac mini, thinking of core i5 at 579 I think... Can't see why the 729 one is that much more for 2.6 vs 2.8..

Any advice on them, don't want i7 cos it will be a fortune, but what's iris like will or run Warcraft?
