[QUOTE=wauterboi;45957719]Fair enough. I think I've just let ideas brew in my head for a bit too long in silence.[/QUOTE]
It happens to everyone. Don't worry about it.
I'm mostly just glad I already fixed my iPod Classic last week
[QUOTE=Hamsteronfire;45936086]what apple has shown today can be summed up like this for me:
lmao
they're still dumb as fuck in the end yet they still manage to pull in the revenue because consumers are dumber
apple are still behind the competition in every way and they only thing they have going for them is product design which they pull off very nice, which encourages everyone else to catch up with them, that's it, they're not innovative technically, all they can do is make up some sharp curves in photoshop and slap some myriad or helvetica on it and call it design
i say this because their marketing is top notch bait yet still it's hilarious looking, spotting and listening to the buzzwords; in addition to the heavily edited pictures, sharp typefaces etc.
the only thing worthwhile apple has done for me was the ipod classic specifically, and now i don't give a fuck and i want to see apple fail so hard now
never change apple, never change[/QUOTE]
I'm happy with my iPhone, and I'm happy with what they're doing with the new one because I like to stick to that ecosystem of apps, backup etc. Why can't you just not buy it instead of getting angry? Seriously?

just, dont buy it. ignore it? like, go outside, breathe some air

literally the only insult in the thread. then him and another dude start jumping on his personal twitter feed and begin making fun it. they claim to occupy the moral highground. i accuse them of hypcorisy and their best response is "dumb post bye" further cementing that their interest isnt in proving a dude wrong, its getting in those epic zingers so that they can look cool on fp. because otherwise theyd debate like rational humans without resorting to insipid mudslinging
if anything hamsteronfire is remarkably level headed compared to the condescending ad hominem bullshit coming out of his opposition's mouth. sure his little tirade was ridiculous but at least he doesnt resort to nonarguments like "ya fuck apple ! anyone else a mac h8r?" and at least attempted to back up his reasoning.

Honestly, what sort of response are you expecting when your post is literally "Pot kettle black?" There's really no foundation for a solid, thoughtful argument there. I'm sure you knew that when you made it, or you're just backtracking now.

Well maybe you're right. Maybe that was a dumb post, and I'm sorry.
Now hold everybody else to the same standard, and don't just give them a free pass because somebody else did it too. And certainly don't arbitrarily just hold me to that standard and nobody else simply because it's expedient to do so.
I used to have a Zune for a long time and it was pretty great, it's a shame zune ended up biting the dust though (my zune also got stolen so couldnt use it for regular MP3's now even)
Though I honestly haven't had a problem using my phone for all my music. Along with the advent of digital music streaming like spotify and stuff, I'm kinda surprised the Ipod wasn't discontinued earlier

Some people just like having all the music locally on their device, since it's fast and will always work (unlike streaming which relies on a stable connection). Also, the iPod Classics had pretty great battery life compared to a smartphone. As an added bonus, the iPods have great DACs which you won't find in the average smartphone.
To be frank, one of the reasons why I think I'll get an iPhone next year is the fact that they support their phones for up to 4 years opposed to 2 by Google and a year by Samsung

I'm happy to sacrifice the freedoms I enjoy on Android for longer lasting support and the knowledge that the device manufacture actually cares about you instead of throwing you in the dirt and going "buy another one lmao"

i'd love to see someone actually do an ABX test between the ipods with wolfson DACs and the iPhone 5s. you wouldn't notice anything

I wouldn't call the iPhone 5S your average smartphone. iPhones have pretty good audio hardware, honestly.
