9/12 Apple Day
 
iPhone.
I'll skip and wait for the S as my iPhone is still a lot more powerful than I need… unless the camera is truly amazing of course.

Bigger everything will no doubt be included. That should please a lot of people on here as whenever HTC release a new phone and it has bigger numbers they wet their knickers.

Fingers crossed Apple can pull another 'why didn't they think of that' moment.

iO6.
Hopefully released on the same day. This I have been waiting for, tried the beta, loved it. Tons of new features, maps I'm especially excited about.

iPad Mini.
I'd say it was a goer, people seem to like the Nexus, why not.

iMac's
Hopefully a refresh, I need an upgrade. Although my 6 year old machine is running like a dream, I need iCloud on all my devices.

iPods.
Not sure what's happening here but have a feeling something's going to be announced.

Anything else I've forgotten?






Please don't move to Computer Related, that place is great for Geeks and Broken Windows, this is a discussion on Consumer Electronics.

Wake up Tubby Tommy, It's hardly a phone at all.

Steve, climb in with Tommy.

Brun 09 September 2012 06:07 PM

LSherratt 09 September 2012 06:20 PM

It's distributed almost exclusively by mobile phone operators and affiliated retailers, but it's not a phone? :wonder:

ronjeramy 09 September 2012 06:31 PM

New Mac mini? :)

i have had an iphone, the galaxy is better, i have an ipad 3, its good but nothing special, i prefer a laptop but the kids like it. says it all really looks over substance.
apple all over. oh also have an ipod and i do quite like that.

Brun 09 September 2012 06:37 PM

Beyond Internet browsing and the odd app here and there for fun I still fail to see the real point behind a smart phone. Realistically, what of real use does an IP4 do over and above the first iPhone?
I'm still getting one :D

Gave up waiting for the iPhone 5 or whatever it will be called and got a great deal on a 4s on a 12 month contract.

I was happy with the 4 but as it was only the 8gb version it was lacking in storage, that's the only reason I changed. The 4 was superb, the 4s is a little bit better.

I'm giving up chasing the consumer electronics trends and latest items, I like the iPhone because it works without me wasting time messing with it.

My wife's HTC wildfire S is a PITA to me.

Boro 09 September 2012 07:15 PM

Shame they missed the boat and most iPhoners are now using Samsungs S3 ;-)

Brun 09 September 2012 07:16 PM

So what does the S3 do that the IP doesn't?

stevebt 09 September 2012 07:31 PM

Multi task and not fool apple lovers into thinking their phones do :lol1:

Airplay Mirroring and all of it's associated goodness. Incredible Camera. Incredible Screen. The 4S is still too good for me, but I'm an old man.

Neither phone makes you look like a ****, but I often see Android users who feel like one.

Now, can you find another thread to spam.

Brun 09 September 2012 07:52 PM

AirPlay mirroring????

Beefed up Apple TV or Software update, I hope.

Just use it and you will understand ;)
If I said its just more versatile, has a really nice user interface (once you get use to it, the android experience is great compared to IOS :D), does what it say's on the box, and does it great, and ive had a couple of iphones (a 2g, 3gs and 4), its just a better Mobile device :D

Tony:)

Brun 09 September 2012 08:06 PM

Ahhhhhhhh now we're getting somewhere. It's all down to personal preference. I've played with android devices but actually prefer how iOS operates. So it seems that phones at this level are simply different with none that actually do anything significantly better! Fair?

jonc 09 September 2012 08:13 PM

I'm camped outside the Apple store right now, can't wait, only a few more days to go now....
