iPhone 5 - Page 251

A friend of mine only after about a month is having issues with the lock button at the top.

Where's Gomestar when you need him?

This is interesting. The stock mail program will not open and just crashes and closes. Rebooted a few times and still happening. Not sure how to fix this.

use the gmail app like a civilized person

It's a shame I don't use gmail as I hate it. Good thing I never claimed to be civilized.

Apple's in trouble. Jelly Bean is sweet, very sweet. And Google Now is jaw droppingly cool and scary at the same time.

edit: And to all the people who laughed at me here when I was making posts a few years ago on how Linux was going to take over everything....you may now start wiping that egg off your faces. Android with Google Now is cutting MSFT's Metro/8 crap off at the knees.

Good link though Pio...are you considering a Samsung device?

Seriously. Like I said in the BB 10 thread, the hardware specs game is over. It's all about software, and if iOS 7 isn't refreshingly different and still very functional and intuitive, Apple is F.U.C.K.E.D.

I wouldn't say they are fucked, but I think the love affair may soon be ending. Apple learned a long time ago, also, that hardware specs don't matter; otherwise they wouldn't be selling 2010 hardware today for a premium.

I think Google's going to be top dog very soon, with Apple as a close second, and Microsoft very distant third. As far as Blackberry goes....who cares?

(I don't mean 'top dog' in terms of market cap, but most popular/loved devices)

I would say they're fucked. There's an element of schadenfreude in seeing Apple no longer being top dog and that negative sentiment-momentum is building up. We only need to see one or two more significant disappointments from Apple to see that spill over and cock-punch them.

Bought an iPhone 5 to finally give the iPhone a try. My two year old Samsung was in many ways superior to the new iPhone 5. I will probably go back to Samsung in the next cycle, but as that's around a year away, who knows what might be on the scene by then? I do wish I had held out and gotten the next generation Samsung but I'm living with the 5. It's far from a bad phone it's just no where near the iHype.

Measuring anything using its hype as a benchmark is foolish.

Sitting on that much cash, with as low a multiple as the stock is trading at....I wouldn't count Apple out, but I merit your sentiment in wanting to see them go down.

Of course, as I'm writing this post, I realize I am just as much a Google fanboy so I shouldn't be too harsh on the Apple fans. I...seriously....love....Google.

I'm still torn on the phone side. I have an iPhone 4 that's coming up for renewal in April. Going to Android would be a no brainer....but I do love me some AirPlay since my Pioneer receiver has the capability built in and I actually have grown kind of dependent on it.

This is fitting as if there's one thing I am known for is being foolish.
