2 blaq 4 iPhone X PartII: Tha Mixtape

[dr lopez]

i hope this means i can get an iphone 6s for free and get an apple watch when I trade in. or at least the earpods

[Rubin Farr]

didn't they learn glass on the back of a phone is a terrible idea?  wireless meh

[Real Human Bean]

I really don't get it.

This revolutionary new phone doesn't seem to do anything particularly special.

As has been stated the announcement event thing was terrifying to behold...the crowd applauding the most banal, empty, self-congratulatory, consumerist nonsense made me shudder.

Will upgrading to this $1000+ phone improve anyones life?

Nope.

What are you talking about, it has that revolutionary facial unlock tool that was on android phones for the last five years that people try for 10 minutes before turning off. It's a game changer.

[Amen Warrior]

Yeah I was gonna say the Sony phone I got in 2014 has face recognition unlock and also no physical home/ face button. I don't understand why apple are crowing about those things

[Amen Warrior]

Also among other things I find it extremely annoying that this is 'ten' and not 'x'.

 

It's even more incongruous consider they announced it alongside iPhone 8.

Introducing iPhone 8 and iPhone X (ten). Fuck me that's so annoying. Infuriating.

[BCM]

it's not that annoying in the grand scheme of things though really is it?  it's just an iphone... relax, let go of your hate.  hate leads to anger, anger leads to THE DARK SIDE.

I bet you were one of those annoying people that were pronouncing Mac OS X as "Mac Oss Ex, instead of "Mac Oh Ess Ten"

 

Honour Steiv you fucking ingrates.

I must be just me getting old but I was watching this while also watching live TV. One screen, I see these people self-congratulating themselves, drowning in money and spending their time creating animated poo emoji on $1000 dollar phones while on the BBC News, I'm watching people with no food or water in Bangladesh, living in mountains of filth and disease.

 

We live in unequal times. That's not Apple's or any other tech companies fault but showing a good deal more restraint and humility and not a giant circular shrine of glass costing billions might be better in our times.

 

 

reminds me of somebody here saying he is unable to fap to porn as he sees the despair and emptiness in the girls eyes. we need more people like you seeing the world as it really is. something many people have lost.

Name something more annoying...see you can't.

if you wonder why you are not able to buy a new iphone anymore while you could in the past:

the description of those apple stores, or whatever they're calling them now, sounds hilariously cult-like, not like apple fanboyism wasn't already pretty culty to begin with, but that's just ridiculous.

their idea of "creativity" and "inspiration" is going to an apple store and seeing an attractive person draw something shitty on an ipad while woke people stand around going "mmmhmmmm"

 

 

this is about as far from any creative process in any field anywhere

Just found out I'm getting an X to replace my ageing 6 Plus at work! Yay!

That makes zero sense. Company must have money to burn.

Wasn't there an entire thread about that?

I went in for one of those group interviews back in 2009. They had us watch this "yay Apple is so great" video, and had us do group activities. It was one of the strangest job interviews I've ever had, and the cult vibe was overt. The person I was placed with was actually from my home town and knew some of my friends, though. So it was fun to make another friend out of it.

I do internal app testing on iOS devices, and I'm also reachable 24/7 (technically) as part of my job, so they want me to have an X so I can see where FaceID fails some apps that use TouchID and coordinate with the vendor on updates.

 

I'll be damned if I am going to pay for a cell phone for work that expects me to be reachable all the time, and that I need to do part of my job.

none of the watmm shareholders agreed to this and we certainly dont approve of a "costs are rising post" two months down the line

No, you know what's real fun (and annoying)?

 

I ride a commuter bus to work - I turn on "AirDrop - Everyone" and see how many idiots have their phones exposed, then I find an obnoxious picture on the web and send it to them and listen for the reactions. Most people don't even know what AirDrop is, how to use it, etc.
