F-ing Apple...... again!!

Why bother with any other forum?
Forum rules
We once roamed the vast forums of Corona Coming Attractions. Some of us had been around from The Before Times, in the Days of Excelsior, while others of us had only recently begun our trek. When our home became filled with much evil, including the villainous Cannot-Post-in-This-Browser and the dreaded Cannot-Log-In, we flounced away most huffily to this new home away from home. We follow the flag of Jubboiter and talk about movies, life, the universe, and everything, often in a most vulgar fashion. All are welcome here, so long as they do not take offense to our particular idiom.

F-ing Apple...... again!!

Post by Dalty »

Have an iPhone 6 (64gb) and an iPad Air2 (64gb). The iPad is forever telling me storage is full. When I check storage in settings it tells me that photos is a great contributor to usage of storage.

Thing is, I have zero, zip, nada, nothing, no photos at all on my iPad. Photo sharing is switched off on both my iPhone and iPad, cloud storage of photos on both is disabled. So where, why the fuck, how, is my iPad thinking it is full of photos and stopping me doing stuff??

Ditto music.

Sort this fucking shit out before you start worrying of headphones are too "wirey" you fucking bastards!!!??

I spoke to an Apple Genius. He said you were an idiot. He also said it was your fault. Why? Because nothing's ever Apple's fault.

He also said you can't just delete. He wants you to resync your iPad, but he wants you to do so with a single, tiny photo. He says that'll fix it. If it doesn't, you're to buy a new iPad posthaste.

Nope, nothing wrong. Just a clunky OS where they haven't worked out the logic between many devices, a personal cloud and an iTunes repository. Not my fault if these "Geniuses" can't build something better. Maybe if they were less busy deciding headphone cables were the root of all evil and thinking 2 cameras is revolutionary then maybe they could design software that works?

Is the two-camera setup there for 3D? If it's not, what the hell's it for?

It's for depth-of-field and Bokeh effects, similar to what a DSLR can do. They showed a few samples during the recent keynote, which were pretty impressive.

One of the cameras has a wide-angle lens, while the other has a telephoto lens, allowing them to achieve the zoom capability of a (modest) DSLR while retaining image quality, at least up to a certain point.

You don’t get dishwasher manufacturers carrying on like this, do you?

Imagine it. A reverent hush as the boss of Zanussi announces a minor improvement to the drain hose. Thunderous fucking applause at the news the cutlery bit will have room for twice as many forks.

So why is Apple suffused with the belief that it is moulding humanity through removal of the headphone cable? When it can't even get my bloody iPad to work out for itself that the pictures aren't on it?

Shh. It's "magic," Dalty, and you're obviously some kind of magic-killing gremlin.

Phillip Schiller - Senior Vice-President of Apple:

“Some people have asked why we would remove the analogue headphone jack from the iPhone? It really comes down to one word: courage. The courage to move on, do something new, that betters all of us.”

Oh my God, so powerful!!

Halt cancer research. Cancel the space programme. Stop that daft bint Malala prattling on about getting shot by the Taliban. Go and urinate on that waster Nelson Mandela's grave.

We have just witnessed the true triumph of the human spirit. It will never be topped!!

I've had limited experience with wireless headphones, but the experience hasn't been great. The sound has tended to be tinny and muffled, and I've needed to keep pretty still to keep the signal strong. In both cases, I was trying things out with fairly cheap headphones. I can't speak for the sound quality of the higher-end stuff.

No, I bitched and moaned about it to Jubbers. She rolled her eyes, gave a listen, and said everything sounded fine to her.

Maybe if you had said it sounded like creation being rebooted via progress then she would have burst into applause??

Regarding Apple's wireless earbuds/"AirPods":

I know what you've all been thinking, but it's not all about the money. Apparently, if you lose one of your $160 AirPods, Apple will be more than happy to sell you a single AirPod--provided you can provide proof of purchase--for $80. If it were all about the money (and, again, IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT THE MONEY), Apple would make you buy a whole new set for $160.
