First of all I’m going to admit it, I have turned into an Apple fan 😳

Now I have in the past vehemently argued to anyone that would listened that Apple were for fan boiys with no imagination, I cussed my brother when he got his first Iphone, I have taken the piss out of my mates when they dared suggested that they were thinking of getting one etc etc.

But here’s how it started, I wanted a toy, so I bought an Ipad, it is great if you look past the obvious lack of flash & the fact it isn’t about to replace your super powerful laptop. Then I bought Apple TV, its not mind blowing, but a solid bit of (limited) kit for the money.

These purchases have been ok as I don’t exactly shout out to the world that I own them, but here’s the problem, I lost my HTC so I need a new phone & an Iphone makes perfect sense to me. I still have the same reservations about the lack of replaceable/swapable battery & the same goes for the limited memory, but I still want one.

I kind of think it’s like wanting a Porsche 911, no it is not the most exciting car in the world, but if you want a great car that does the job for sensible money then there really is nothing to beat it, well that’s what I’m telling myself anyway, but I know I’m going to get ridiculed beyond belief for owning one…

Let the piss taking commence…

more of an orange man myself.

The only thing about apple is they have had their endianness round the wrong way. Which will cast dispersions on all your children and children’s children.

I have lots of Apple Kit. If it was the Porsche 911 of the techie gadgety world, I’d chuck it all in the bin 🙂

Just admit you like deviant liaisons with car exhausts – it is more acceptable.

A collection of iWotsits and aspires to a 911. Do you pull your frilly nylon panties right up tight?

Is that the best you lot can do? that’s not real abuse you know, wait and see what my mate will say!

How do you know when someone has an Apple product?

They tell you.

I’m just impressed that you’ve actually got any mates.

Now, what was the question…?

Dont buy an iphone 4, iphone 5 is imminent.

It always surprises me when someone is entertained by the iPad for longer than 5 minutes. I do not get it at all, when the novelty wears off it’s just an awkward and limited device. imo.

So you took the pi$$ out of everyone for ages about apple products. You then wanted a new toy so got an iPad.
mmmm logical step there.

He’ll be getting a BMW soon…

To be fair though you can do this with an iphone

I like that _tom_ 😀

Is it me or did anyone else read his forum name as “only hetero to cause trouble” 😕

jail break your Apple TV and install XBMC (easy to do). it will basically turn it into a VERY useful media centre.

why would your mates give a shit what phone you have?
*puzzled*

dunno but there is a certain robustness about apple products i find … id hope so for 600 quid.

i have the iphone 4 – its a year old and still looks like brand new- it knocks the spots off the mrs 3g – which is several years old and shows little signs of aging other than it being a little slow but still quicker than a brand new nokia :D.

sometimes i wish id bought the ipad at times but then remember how much i just use my phone to kill time – i wouldnt usually carry my
ipad when im getting trains or buses etc the solution would be to aquire an ipad at some point 😀

Jeez and my threads get the “me me me” tags FFS 🙄

Porsche 911, sensible money, all in the same sentence. You clearly have too much money, no wonder you’ve got lots of Apple kit.

C**t

Comparing a Porsche 911 with a phone.

One is an Engineering masterpiece way ahead of its time. Refined over years into something that can be used every day yet gets it done without undue fuss or drama. It can take you another dimension and back yet still works day in day out.

The other?

Well…

Its just a car.

HEH 😀

Limited? Really? Only limited by the imagination of those using it. I would suggest that you have limited imagination. David Hockney does paintings on his, hospitals and medical centres in America are adopting them for staff doing rounds, airlines are issuing them to pilots to replace all their charts, blind people are using them because of the quality of the voice control…
There are continually new ways of using them being found. A collegue at work is using his when recording music, for another use.
As far memory and battery are concerned, 32Gb is pretty respectable, and any non-essential stuff can be easily downloaded or copied onto an SD card using a card reader or via wifi, which is what I do, and there are loads of back-up batteries available, Amazon do one for around £25. Personally, I hate the thought of buying a phone with limited capacity, and having to rely on stupid piddly little SD Micro cards that are easily lost for carrying stuff like maps, books, music and photos.

lol! Don’t worry after a couple of years on apple you’ll just use it as a computer like any PC, justb the form is nicer!!

Traitor.

I think you should place all your apples on a brick and hit them with a hammer.

This should give you a nice mushy mess that you wont want to play with.

Captain Picard had an iPad in the 90s. Do keep up 2fat!

Hi mate :wave:

the haters are just as bad as the fans.
it’s just a computer/phone/tablet not the second coming.

+1
the second coming is when Apple make a totally waterproof iPhone. Walking on water will no longer be an issue.
Oh, love _tom_’s whale text, that really made me snigger.
