"The AppleWatch Edition is made from 18k gold, up to twice as hard as standard gold."

Apple just dissed gold, y'all 

Did this actually happen?

[Steve Contra]

Can't wait until I see someone checking their phone with both a watch and google glass on.  God I fucking hate San Francisco.

don't really see the huff, std gold is fairly soft, and you can work harden gold depending on how you manufacture it and what you toss in as an alloy.

no the watch works with phones from the 5 onwards.

Anyone still rocking a 4S should consider themselves lucky to be getting ios8.

[Brehvolution]

it's just that yeah, gold is soft, and less pure gold harder than 24k.

acting like 18k gold is INNOVASHUN though

[nudemacusers]

but... it might be actually harder than standard 18k gold though.

[Dickie Dee]

Think I read that as "standard gold" being pure 24k and they were making a bullet-point out of 18k being hard than pure gold. Guess they're just saying the other 25% will be unobtanium or some shit.

I'll just let myself out...

[TakingBackSunday]

Really peeved that the 6+ has a 401 ppi display versus the regular 6 and its 326 ppi.  I want that ppi but FUCK getting a phone thats even larger than the Note 4.

And to think I almost didn't read this thread.

i'm curious if they'll release the alloy breakdown. don't know if you can patent that kind of thing or not.

[Kara]

People tried to patent DNA in the U.S., of course you can patent alloys.

They're gonna have to start making longer pants pockets

[headwalk]

you really didn't need a conference for this, tim.

i am becoming concerned with these bigger phones. my blazer pockets are already being jammed up with my 4S. Gave up on pants pockets ages ago

[Phoenix Dark]

is this the album they did with danger mouse?

[Dennis]

I may have to rethink getting the smaller one. The tech difference is significant. God, I just hate how clunky the bigger one is.

[Cerveza mas fina]

I was hoping for something cool that would be available here today at the flagship store.

Ill stick with the iphone 5 and ipad air, my new job will give me a iphone and macbook but I doubt it will be the 6

Did they announce a new mac mini or apple tv?

[chronovore]

MODERN SCIENCE.

"Lucky." Man, running the latest iOS on legacy hardware is anything but "lucky." 

[TakingBackSunday]

I wish Apple would focus on optimization of iOS for older devices.  Google did this pretty well with Kit Kat.  Hopefully L continues the tradition but I'm not hopeful based on Google's new design initiative.

That said, Apple probably doesn't give a shit because they know nearly their entire user base is fully okay with the 1-2 year update cycle.  Why optimize the firmware for the 4S (or 5 in this case) when the user base for that phone will only be around 5 percent?

I think Apple Pay will definitely legitimize NFC, and I'm excited for that. Android fans can rightfully tout having features first, but the truth of the matter is that Apple's implementation will more often than not bring the feature/technology to the forefront for a lot of people.

[Human Snorenado]

Oh hey look, it's shit I won't be owning

Can't wait for dat Nexus 6 tho

[Human Snorenado]

Also, I'm not a fan of the larger phablet form factor and when I see someone with one, I judge the fuck out of them SO HARD. So hard.

[TakingBackSunday]

Nexus 6 will have a 6 inch screen if they keep with the naming convention

Best phone I've used is the Nexus 5, it's fantastic. Shame I don't prefer the OS.

[drew]

i still have a 3gs lol

[chronovore]

Yeah, fuck new iOS updates.  Pray shit won't be broken, and if it is, pray developers care to/can afford to fix it.  Blech.

Yeah, I'm still butthurt about Stanza being wrecked by iOS 5.  :'(

"Earlier rumors about the Nexus 6 pointed to a 5.9" screen size"

 

[Raban]

I'm typically an Apple figgurt but the iPhone 6 looks like hot garbage. If y'all thought the conference earlier this year was Apple proclaiming "me too!" then this one is even more shameless. Thing looks exactly like an Android phone and is pointlessly large for no reason other than to compete.

RIP Jobs and the era of Apple design innovation.

[naff]

hmmm might have to play around with a note n gauge the sizing. 6'6 with big hands  maybe the big one won't look all that stupid....

Is the only difference between the 6 and 6 plus hardware image stabilisation? (aside from screen size and no doubt increased clock speed)

[Raban]

the battery life is better on the larger device

[Raban]

yeah I'm not so much implying that Jobs was responsible for design innovation within Apple, just that they both departed at about the same time.

[bork]

I don't get the smart watch thing.  Just seems so pointless when you already have a phone in your pocket.  At least the Moto 360 one looks like an actual watch and not a tiger LCD toy.

Will probably get an iPhone 6 (regular size, unless I get to see the Plus first and it doesn't seem too large), although I have been thinking about maybe trying an Android phone.

[naff]

who the fug is wearing square watches? unless its one of the casio calculators (still dubious) gtfo. moto 360 is sweet, and i see the application. id like to keep my phone in my bag and get notifications from such a subtle device, i hate missing messages and calls and you'd always notice a slight buzz on your wrist, but its definitely aimed at the more ocd among us.

[Human Snorenado]

I'm hoping the rumblings of a smaller than 6" nexus 6 option are true. Otherwise I don't know wtf I'm gonna do for a new phone.

[TakingBackSunday]

you'll bend over and take either the big dumb looking phone endorsed by andrex or the big dumb looking phone endorsed by nudemacusers

So seriously, can we get a feature matrix of what AppleWatch stuff you need the iPhone for? Jony sez in the video that you can "play music directly from the AppleWatch if you leave your iPhone at home when you go for a jog". But you need the iPhone for GPS, and most people like to track their runs/walks/cycles. Would be hilarious if the thing is pretty much useless in situations where you have to put your phone into airplane mode, for instance.

Fellow iBro here.

I'm going IN. iPhone 6 standard in Space Grey. YEAH!!!

[WanderingWind]

What the hell....the watch doesn't even have GPS? So, it's 100 percent useless then?

Goddamn, somebody make a deal with Mephisto and resurrect Jobs already. The guy was a human wastepot, but he made some neat gadget decisions.

[toku]

A watch with a six hour battery.

"Siri, what time is it?"

"I dunno. Ask your $350 watch, dumbass."

The Apple Watch 2 will.

I don't think they mentioned the battery life of the watch though did they?

[huckleberry]

I don't think they mentioned the battery life of the watch though did they?

No they didn't and I bet we can all guess why.

[bork]

No idea what I'm going to do for my next phone now.  Was looking at Androids but I'm not sure if there's any point in switching.  I didn't know Flash got removed; that would have been a big selling point for me.

I want better battery life, so if I stick with Apple I'm gonna have to get the iPhone 6 Plus.  Not sure if I want something that big.

Forgot to post this one, but

[Cerveza mas fina]

Every smartwatch is 99% useless (at least it tells time, no?) until you can pop in a SIM card.

I want to answer calls w/o having my $350 watch being tethered to my $350 phone, yo. Shit is useless for now.

I kind of feel the same as B, whats the point of a watch if you have to have your phone with you...
