tl;dr: Reputable tech cynic Ian Bogost says Apple is gay.

Everyone who didn't have Steve Jobs' nuts resting on their lips came to this conclusion years ago. Now that the cult of personality aspect of Apple is gone, more and more people are starting to see them for what they are.

I didn't see the keynote but none of the slogans that article references suggests that Apple was claiming this is a big leap for the iPhone rather than just an update. They don't expect the average iOS user to buy an iPhone or iPad every year, but they have to release a new the just to keep up with the tech curve. Just like Google or any other smartphone manufacturer.

The new iPhones aren't exciting but they aren't disappointing.

Ugh. My iPhone 4 is on its last legs, I really don't feel like paying for a new phone but my contract is up with AT&T, what's decent and free with a contract these days?

Edit: lol their upgrade site isn't loading

brawndolicious · « **Reply #63 on:** September 14, 2013, 04:19:07 PM »

If you can wait until the holidays, the best deals will be available. Specifically the ones that give you the latest phones for free when you sign a new contract.

Otherwise I would recommend the Moto X. Unless you want a 1080P screen.

Today is ios7 day. Can anyone confirm that the IPSW in the beta is the same as what is coming down the pipe? iTunes will be slow as fuck downloading today so any mirrors would also be helpful. I have 2 ipads and 3 phones to update today and somehow I doubt they will all get done.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #66 on:** September 18, 2013, 01:13:10 PM »

Don't even bother, errors out all over the place right now, probably just going to get worse as the day goes on

Digital future!

Brehvolution · « **Reply #67 on:** September 18, 2013, 01:34:04 PM »

What I'm really hoping for is to find torrents of the IPSW file for the 4S, 5, iPad mini so I don't have to get it from apple today.

I have my work retina iPad updating now with no errors yet. I'm not doing it through iTunes.

Zero Hero, what happens if you don't update all your iOS devices today?

I don't have one.

They are for other people so I couldn't care really.

7 is almost done installing on my 4s.

Seems a bit slow, but I don't mind.

nudemacusers · « **Reply #70 on:** September 18, 2013, 02:56:14 PM »

so it seems the 5S is the current overall godphone. bless u ive. Might have to be a tool and buy out of upgrade schedule. Can't handle my babby 4 running ios7 slowly.

That slowness I was seeing is gone now. Everything is running smooth as butter.

I found out that I can update early; I'll see if I can buy a 5S on Friday. People are into the gold for some reason, so hopefully I can stroll in around noon and buy a ~~grey~~ SPACE GRAY 5S.

probably not worth upgrading my 4S to iOS7 for a day or two of use

nudemacusers · « **Reply #73 on:** September 18, 2013, 03:10:49 PM »

will download RIGHT NOW.

edit: 21 minutes remaining!

I like the gold but space grey is next level.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #86 on:** September 18, 2013, 08:37:26 PM »

On the plus side, I like the control center at the bottom, and the new notification center is nice. The multitasking WebOS layout seems unnecessary. Also, new camera stuff like HDR. I think they may have tweaked fonts a bit, text seems a tiny bit crisper, but that may just be my imagination.

My biggest prob with it is that it's too damned bright. I mean, burn your eyes at night kinda bright. I know Ives is probably all about the Sun God or whatever, but give me a dark option you fucking skinheaded hippy.

Also, pretty sure iTunes Radio just nailed the coffin lid shut on Pandora.

What is an iPod Touch?

Edit: did some research—apparently it's like a wi-fi only mini iPad mini. If they add 4G I might get one.

A Touch is an iPhone without the phone. It's thinner, but the screen size is the same.

Iphone is weak. You can only do so much on it.

Android is where it's at. You can do whatever the hell you want and the progs are way better.

bork · « **Reply #114 on:** September 19, 2013, 03:34:21 PM »

iOS7 seems nice for the most part. I waited until the last night to try upgrading and downloaded it via iTunes on my PC. Went nice and fast. They finally included several features like using the camera flash as a flashlight, which is sure to make the people who put the 7,000 different flashlight apps on the app store cry. It's nice being able to quickly turn wi-fi on/off and no longer be limited by the number of apps you can place into one folder, but this is all shit that should have been available in the first place.
