when?!?! </excited fan boy>glennhoffmania said:No big deal. They're coming out with the iPants that will solve the problem.
Meh, my 4 year old android had a BAC (Boner Activation Chip), why is Apple always holding back features? *zenter*VORP Speed said:Or it could be that the 6 is producing more powerful boners.
You have had 7 cellular phones since your LG and are concerned about the environmental impact of wired v. Wireless charging.mt8thsw9th said:Just from my own experience, I haven't had a connector stop working on a phone since my LG enV. That includes two BlackBerrys (Storm and Tour), the Motorola Droid, and iPhones 4, 4S, 5, and 5S. Is refurbishing a phone really that carbon-intensive that most all phones should essentially leak power just to prevent charger connectors from potentially breaking? I would guess connector failure is exceedingly rare, anyway. Generally when a charging connection is failing is because there's dust buildup in the slot. Also, don't a good amount of Android phones come with a charge port cover anyway?
Now I am not implying this is Apple's motivation, but merely asking why we are so wasteful just for the sake of making something already convenient even more so. With hundreds of millions of 1440 mAh+ batteries being charged, the amount of energy being wasted adds up. I also think that this is the issue with most (relatively) nascent technologies, and I don't think there's a rush by Apple to bring it to market until it's past that extended beta stage.

It really sucked? Like, is anyone reading this stuff?derekson said:Trying to plug in iPhones and iPads on my bedside table in the dark really sucked with the old iPod connector, but since they moved to the reversible Lightning connector is a complete nonissue. You don't even have to worry about getting it right-side up. The improvement from that to throwing it on a pad seems pretty minimal.

Are you asking me what the negative environmental impact of unnecessary consumer culture is?derekson said:What's the negative environmental impact on selling your old phone on eBay and buying a new one? It's not like he's tossing his old phones into a landfill.
Yeah, to me it's pretty no brainer that there are far more used phones than ever get purchased, and keeping an old phone an extra 6 months will benefit the environment far more than the small amount of energy lost from wireless charging over a long period would.Drocca said:Are you asking me what the negative environmental impact of unnecessary consumer culture is?
I am not an environmentalist, but calling out M89th for a stupid fucking argument.
crow216 said:I'm not saying Apple is great at this. I'm commenting that it's a weird criticism in the mobile device arena where hardware is forced into being obsolete on a regular basis.
It's also a matter of developers making apps and deciding which platform they belong on. If a developer makes a game that utilizes features in a new device, don't complain about apple or android's old device not supporting it.

Damn, I was hoping if I bought a 20 dollar case the phone would come with it.bohous said:

Some nice options there. I was originally intending to go sans case this time around but I think with the protruding camera lens and since its already really slim I'll do it.
The Spigen Aluminum Fit case is pretty sweet and hits my key features. Very slim, exposed physical buttons with just enough front bezel to lay it face down. Only thing don't like is the large "Spigen" logo but I can deal.
canderson said:iOS updates the past two years have been really awful, haven't they? I mean, I don't recall iOS 4, 5 or 6 having nearly as many bugs as 7 and 8 have had - especially the 8 bugs that have made phones useless essentially.
I'll rock 7.0.2 on my 5 until I upgrade in a year or so maybe.
Looks like the update has been pulled back... Its not available anymoreSilverdude2167 said:DO NOT UPDATE TO 8.0.1 on the 6 or 6+

I'm a bit confused by this. I use TechArmor, and it's fine, but I'm not super discerning perhaps? What looks bad?jayhoz said:A grain of sand in your pocket will easily scratch Gorilla glass. That being said, I would never put a shield on my screen. They all look like crap.
