Apple doesn't like me either.
 
getting the 6, the plus one is too big for me. watch looks interesting but i don't use watches so no use for me.

live stream sucked ass
 
Watches start $349, pretty much from I gathered require an iphone, apple is getting all your money. Live stream failed constantly.
 
Shit I thought their livestream was being hosted by hostgator since it kept going down so much.
 
Damn that live stream was shit for the first ~45 min. Glad they got it sorted out. Was disappointed they didn't mention OSX, as I want to say it OSX 10.9 came out soon after the same event last year.

I think the watch is cool, and really well done, but probably wont get it. Am I the only one that feels like watches are too old school? Like it's a step backwards technology wise.

I feel like the watch is an un-necessary gimmick. When the iPhone came out that changed the way people thought about smartphones. A watch... meh - If I need to know the time I can look at my phone. Every since they got rid of the MacBook Pro 17 inch, I've been more critical of them. Then this Maverick nonsense... shit is going down hill. I don't see a lot of people getting that watch really, like you said old school.​
 
Apple really disappointed with their watch. Look at Moto 360, this is how a modern smart watch should look in my opinion. The thing that apple released today doesn't really project high quality product to me

Might get the iphone 6, though the plus has optical stabilization which is sweet, but it's just too big
 
Bought a Samsung Galaxy S5 and the camera stopped working 24 hours into ownership. Returned it and am now looking at the LG G3, but waiting to see what the Nexus 6 looks like first (might be the G3, might be something else). Android 5.0 unadulterated.

Fuck Apple.
 
Fucking apple still scamming on memory. There is no legitimate reason to drop the 32gb and keep the 16. That is shaddy as fuck.

Pure Android experience made me choose Nexus 5. However, I discovered that I'm just one of the users who is testing new Android releases. The last two KitKat updates have been like shit and fucked up my battery life.

I would get the G3.

A scam? Hardly. A little weird though. I would guess it's an attempt to get more people to purchase the 64 GB version as the perceived value will the higher and apple will make a higher margin as +52GB of memory isn't worth $100. Apple's memory games have always worked like this though.

Is it? The manufacturing costs are maybe a few penny's difference between all of those options. 16gb has been obsolete for years. Hell IOS takes up 2gb. And yes it's to force people to upgrade to the 64. The problem is most people have no idea what any of this even means. They just want an iphone. And they will be the same people who will delete precious family photos to free up space 6 months after owning the phone. That 16gb phone has no business in their lineup. All it is going to do is cause poor user experience.

And to top it all off they will never ever ever put a SD slot into one of their phones (so you have to buy the 64gb).

But at the end of the day that nickle they saved on manufacturing will generate hundreds of millions in profit. So yes I will stick with the word "scam".
 
Just get the 16gb and a 1tb icloud account to offload all your dick pics and shemale porn. 16gb should be enough for your 1000 fart apps.

I understand the perspective, and yeah 16 GB is really low by todays standards. However Apple is also rolling out massive cloud storage initiative with the new phone and OSX touting the ability to basically store all your information there. Cross that with music services like Pandora and iTunes Radio, how much does the average person have to store on their phone?

Looking at my own phone it is 10 GB of music, which accounts for 2/3 of my used storage. Roughly 4.5 GB of my phone comprises OS, apps, and photos. So to me personally I think there is a market there for those who want to save $100 on an iPhone.

Hopefully that cloud storage isn't as bad as Icloud. I have not watched the keynote, so I will have to reserve judgement on their new initiative. However with very few customers enjoying the benefit of "unlimited data" all that cloud interaction may be a huge hit to the average data plan. Streaming radio will blow through the average data plan in days. The cell phone companies are just as guilty in this whole process.

As the world moves everything to the cloud I am already pulling back to local storage, so that may have me a little biased. I listen to a lot of podcasts and my storage, is comparable (getting worse with google music)to your music situation. I have had a 32gb for the last few years and typically on amonthly basis I have to delete a ton of shit to get rid of the "storage almost full" warnings. So with that said, I will no doubt get either the 64 or the 128.

I dont even have a gripe with paying hundreds more for it. It's mainly the idea that alot of people are going to get the 16gb because that's all they can afford, and it would have cost apple almost nothing to get rid of the 16 and start at the 32.

All bitching aside, Apple can
