The new A12 processor seems pretty badass. New bigger screen sizes haven’t gotten too far into other specs and upgrades yet.Calvinball wrote: ↑Wed Sep 12, 2018 1:50 pmAnything interesting?

I can't wait to see how many idiots I know pick this up at that stupid price.

Yeah the pricing has gotten out of hand. I like the size of the XS Max, but no way am I paying that much for a new phone.CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Wed Sep 12, 2018 4:44 pmI can't wait to see how many idiots I know pick this up at that stupid price.

Personally, I'm disgusted at the $1,000 price point for a top of the line phone. $1,500 is not going to happen and I know I have more disposable income than something like 80% of the people that are going to buy them.

Yeah, I’ll wait til next year or the year after and then grab a new iPhone 8 or XS if the prices have come down to the $750 range.CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Wed Sep 12, 2018 5:18 pmYep.

My iPhone 7plus is dying and the GPS is failing. I was quoted $300 to replace the battery and logic board.
I’ve got it sold for $300 to gazelle, and I’ll just use the iPhone upgrade program to jump to an Xs. Fuck it.

while it’s good to see some people you knew what they’re doing if they don’t post it like its a spam, i also see some people posting the same endless bullshit and treating it like twitter, regardless if im really friends, i just unfollow them but won’t delete them, win win for both parts. If i’m really bored and curious about one of them, just stalk them.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Wed Sep 12, 2018 12:11 pmI hate facebook. I've unfollowed 90% of my "friends" on there for posting stupid shit, baking videos, posting nothing but their kids, pallet furniture, or overly left/right political thoughts. I only have it for event notifications from cycling groups and family stuff at this point. I really want to nuke it though.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Wed Sep 12, 2018 11:48 am
i had a few facebook friends i lit into after the 2016 flood here for posing about dumb shit.
one of ems house came literally an inch from flooding, two days later she was complaining about her 'stressful' life on teh goodbook
I unfollowed, after noting how insensitive and ungrateful it was.

That’s what my buddy Trav has too and really likes it. That’ll probably be my move next year after they drop even more in price.
I'll agree with Warren Buffet on this one and say that most people get waaaaay more than $1000 of utility out of their phone over 2 years. It's literally the most important thing in most people's lives now. They can't do a damn think without it.CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Wed Sep 12, 2018 5:18 pmYep.

Compare a $700 phone to a $1500 one though... They both get internet, make calls and have a large screen. Plus, add in how many get lost, stolen or broken vs other toys that cost as much. I've never lost or broken my DSLR.Thedude wrote: ↑Wed Sep 12, 2018 9:30 pmI'll agree with Warren Buffet on this one and say that most people get waaaaay more than $1000 of utility out of their phone over 2 years.

, im happy with mine, and I intend to keep it for another 2 more years.[user not found] wrote: ↑Wed Sep 12, 2018 11:18 pmThere's nothing remotely 'amazing' about it. It's just a well designed (questionably so) piece of tech.
I'm disappointed they haven't pushed the camera to all of the iPhone X lineup.
I'll keep my 8.
The xs on the other hand, has 512 gig’s, its ridiculously insane
