Here iphone users are ridiculed as uneducated hipsters... Totally opposite.

Plus, cusomisability FTW on Android! It is cooler and better, Which is why most 'new' things added to iphones, every new hardware and especially software update is directly copied from Android! So much more 'cool' stuff for you to look forward to in years to come on your iphones that I enjoy right now and have done for years now.

Things such as Qi wireless charging that is faster than your iphone6s+ wired charging with a cord, mirroring screens, smart lock (setting your home, car, work desk - whatever as a safe place so that whenever you pick up your phone it uses GPS to know where your phone is and if it is at that exact location it knows it is safe to be unlocked so when you pick it up, it will be unlocked, saving you the effort of having to unlock it - if you move outside of that set area, it will require you to unlock it the usual way with a password, code, fingerprint, retina scan, pattern or face recognition to unlock the phone), retina lock, air view, selective focus, eye gestures, finger and hand gestures without touching the screen, face unlock, true multitasking, superamoled+HD (apple will no doubt get the screens from Samsung as they are the best creator of the best screens on the planet right now and will rebadge them as "retina oled HD+" or some crap...) screens, always on displays, curved screens, bendable screens, waterproof phones, dustproof phones, military grade steel and magnesium phones (not cheap crappy aluminium/aluminum)...so many other things that are legitimately cool if you would try them! Truly, the Qi wireless charging - if you tried it for ONE WEEK you would be a changed man! You would see how useful this small feature is and ask yourself why iphones still can not do this task when android phones have been able to do this since 2012.

The surgeries I work at and hospitals I have been to all use Windows and android, no apple products at all. They play up way too often to be worth their time. Windows 10 is as bad as apple is generally though, sadly, so that is a dent in the reputation to Windows for medical centres here so they stay on XP SP3 or W7/8.1.

I just read up on hipsters status in the U.S and the Yuccie (whatever the hell they are) is what ours are turning into right now but somewhere as a mashup of hipsters and those things....

yeah it's a totally different thing. You get that living on a remote island in the middle of nowhere lol. That's why i never understood your hatred.

[Camibra]

I am sorry for the rant above Matt! I was stressed out and you know how I get all ranty when that happens.... So sorry!

On a good note, a woman has successfully sued Microsoft for them tricking her to upgrade to Windows10 with that trojan they have...I have disabled it with an app I downloaded!

Also, Google is now the worlds most valuable company, taking over from Apple who slid to second place after they have lost a third of their worth during the last 6 months because to bombing iphone sales!

[GardenSirens]

trust me, clint, you want Apple to do well. The healthiest thing is market competition. When you have one company that dominates to the point there is no competition, it gets stale and doesn't evolve. Faltering iphone sales were because the side iphone release (they release a main every other year and the years in between are liek 6S, 5C, 4S)...this past year sucked. I hope the iphone 7 is beter this year. They've not updated much since iphone 5. I have a 6 plus and am happy as hell but i use my cell phone like most normal people: text and candy crush, lol. (and Spotify)

[Camibra]

The main reason their sales are dropping is due to them trying for years with their former monopoly of the phone market to sue competition into the ground which would make innovation stale so the other brands such as Samsung, LG, HTC etc all went way outside of the box to avoid the wrath of a touchy Apple and innovated new amazing things meanwhile apple stagnated and people are now seeing this. This is why their sales have dropped and why they are not doing well, 75% of their income is from their phones alone so yeah, too many rotten eggs in one basket will ruin them all! The i7 will probably be the same as my 2014 Galaxy S5 with waterproofing as standard, finally a superamoledHD screen etc. BTW, they last updated their line last year with the i6. Samsung, for example, updates every year, as it gets boring doing it every second year.

God iphone screens are so bad to look at! The viewing angle is horrible! I have been spoiled with my 2014 GS5 having a way better screen than all iphone models currently available, iphone screens go grey really easily from the side if you are not looking directly at it, also they have that weird thing when viewing it in portrait mode (upright) where it kind of flickers... I am talking about all models of that phone, even the 6s which a guy at work has. Then I look at my GS5 next to it and its viewing angles are crisp, clear and bright/colourful all the way to the side when you look at it, no weird flickering either when looking at it as iphones have. You probably do not notice this as you see that screen every day and have not used an amoledHD screen such as most other brands use. But it is like the difference between night and day! Black is black on my screen where as yours it is dark grey. Mine can be on full brightness and has better colour contrast/vibrancy yet uses less battery power due to not being backlit screens (they are amoled not crappy LCD) than yours on as dull brightness as it can go...

Sausagocracy the real burning issue of Saturdays trip to the polls

I am off to try and vote out our oppressive, conservative overlords (the ironically named Liberal Party) out of power! It will be a national

This is a useful tool for those people who have some level of colour-blindness! It is an app for Samsung smart tv's and Android phones.

[GardenSirens]

that is a funny name. I'm on vacation and loving it!

[GardenSirens]

good bye.

[GardenSirens]

Clint, the Apple Event is going on right now. They're raising the price on MacBooks AGAIN. They're bleeding money as a company with record losses and their solution is to inflate prices on already too expensive of a product. I have my new macbook pro i just got a few weeks ago...it was 1200 dollars. wtf!!!

[Camibra]

Their prices will skyrocket even more now that Trump is El Pres... They will have to build their phones and such in the U.S which means it will cost MUCH more to sell them.

The Surface Pro is far better - plus it replaces your tablet as it is a tablet or a laptop (with a touchscreen as a laptop.)

That new Surface Studio is absolutely stunning! Years ahead of the imac and it is less in price!

Have you considered an extended working visa holiday down to Oz? Now might be the best time to consider it after the Trump win... We have the minimum wage set which is more than double or triple the minimum wage in the U.S, paid holidays of 4 weeks minimum (with 17% extra per hour added on top). 3 months long service after 7 years. Paid parental leave (12 months for mothers of new born babies and 2 months for fathers), medicare (public hospital cover for everything including heart and kidney surgeries and such for free) - life is a lot brighter here especially compared to the U.S now after what he is going to do in the near future! I feel so bad for America right now...

This is like that film Idiocracy but in real life!!!

[GardenSirens]

We have a President Donald Trump now!!! Ugh.

[Camibra]

Australia has a lot more going for it than the U.S right now... See above!

Hillary got more of the popular vote - below is a photo of some tweets Trump did after the last election 4 years ago when the Republican Candidate got more votes than Obama yet Obama took office!



So, does this mean that he is going to hand over the oval office to Hillary then? Maybe he should!?! This was how he saw it last election, now it is tables turned....what-up Trump!?

[GardenSirens]

LOL Trump is never been someone to keep you bored for long. I did not vote for him. My wife and I proudly voted for Hillary Clinton...but I love this country and will love my leader. So many people wishing bad on Trump and it's like...he's our president. If he F's up, then we're screwed as a whole. I want him to succeed and I hope for that very strongly.

[Camibra]

Well seeing as he is ignoring the data from the CIA about Russia swaying the election in his favour that is a bad sign of things to come as when/if he becomes President he will RELY on the CIA and other agencies for data/intel on security issues - he can NOT ignore selective issues just because he 'does not believe it is real' even when data proves it to be real.

Personal note, my Mum is having an operation right now to get a donor kidney implanted to save her life...

[GardenSirens]

does she have the donor lined up? I hope she's okay. Please update us!

[Camibra]

Donor pops up when someone dies... So you get a call to the hospital within an hour and need to be there within 3 hours to get surgery done. It is urgent and rushed as organs degrade REALLY fast otherwise. The op is completed and she is now in the icu for a few days.
