phone thinness is the worst memephone gimmick ever

they could have great battery life but they feel they can "beat" other makers by bragging about MUH THIN

Does anyone actually give a shit about making cellphones thinner?
Modern cellphones are so thin already it feels like they are going to bend in your pocket.

Elephone just made a phone with a 6k mAh battery almost 1cm thick.
I'm thinking of getting it.

>>52264085
DESU I like my Galaxy better with a case.
For some reason I find the added 2-3mm of thickness makes it considerably more comfortable to handle.
A cracker-thin phone would probably feel awful.

>>52263883
meh, don't really care. i already use BT in my car and at home i use the thunderbolt port to analog adapter to my amp. i really doubt they're really gonna pull the trigger though. especially with earpods being relatively new

I honestly believe the iPhone 5s had the perfect size. Going bigger or thinner makes no sense.
This is as bad as Apple laptops having no Ethernet for the sake of a couple mm.

>>52264009
You're holding it wrong.

>>52264085
The one upside of thinner phones is that eventually my phone will just disappear into my wallet-case, making the wallet-case about as thick as phones used to be. That's pretty cool.

It sucks if you use your phone without a bulky case though.

>>52264190

Kek tfw I used to do that. Being a poorfag I had a metroPCS samsung Admire with no service and a Lg Cosmos 2 because my cosmos 1 got stolen (which was better than the 2nd).
Now I gots a LG G4 ayyy yeee.

Probably doing it for both making it thinner as well as making it easier to water proof the phone, as that's what the rumors are saying the iPhone 7 will feature.

Either way, I prefer my S5 Active. Especially since now I have to buy the phone full price or go with AT&T Next bullshit, I doubt I'm getting a new phone any time soon.

Also who the fuck uses ethernet on a laptop? that's fucking retarded. i bought a macbook air in 2011 and first thing i did was buy the ethernet adapter along with it. i ended up using the ethernet cord a total of 5 times since then

You're all autistic. It's not about thin or not, Apple want to down the cost of production of his iPhone. That's the same thing that a glued battery or no sd port. The ultimate goal is to make the iPhone without manpower. Just to glued a motherboard, some sensors,a chip and a battery.

Whats the advantage of keeping analog connectors around over possibly slimmer and stronger digital connectors? Other than compatibility, I don't exactly own that many headphones and I wouldn't care if I had to go buy another $40 pair anyway. Wireless is retarded though, as far as headphones go.

Was seriously considering swapping my 5S to a 7 when it came out, but if it drops the audio jack completely might have to pick up a 6S+ or some Sony phone.

I'm guessing apple is gonna launch an "audiophile IPod" for like 700$.

>>52265886
>>52265846
I see, you still have to convert the digital signal to analog somewhere down the line, and having it on headphones would increase the price/another point of failure etc. Plus it would be hard to implement on earphones as well I assume.

>>52266184
It works either way. Wireless or not, it's gonna jack up prices of wired headphones because of the built-in DAC. Want to listen while charging? Pay a bit more for bluetooth, goy!

It's a bad thing for customers, though. Standardized jacks and peripherals foment competition. We've had this situation before with every asshole company using their own proprietary earphone jack and it resulted in them going back to the standard 3.5 mm one.

IT's so they can roll out their own brand of proprietary DRM in the future.

Standard headphone jack can be plugged into anything that supports a headphone jack input. Speakers, radios, etc.

This lets them start down the road of having a proprietary wireless encryption scheme that will only work with licensed Apple headphones, ensuring that "public piracy" becomes a non-issue to the record labels.

Same. USB Type C would be great for phones, but I don't want to use it for heaphones

Who the fuck are the people who actually demand thinner phones. Literally everything I hear about phones is complaints about battery life, no one ever comments on how amazingly thin someone's phone is. It's like the few people that design new phones want them thinner just so they can wank over the technical wizardy they have to pull to do it.

El Capitan - Another fast release OS with more features, this time they tried to correct problems in Betamite, some people report having wireless bugs on it.

Computers:
Macbook - single port mac, with shit cpu and no replaceable parts.

Macbook pro 13"- Just a minor update and price rise. woow it's fucking nothing (they are stalling in making something interesting)

Macbook pro 15" - Gets uncomfortably hot when doing really heavy work on 15". Some models throttle.

iMacs - Only high ends are actually worth something but not for the price of 3 grand, problem with boot camp and having to use specific Apple drivers apparently. (on windows)

iPad pro - Tablet with no real professional programs and locked down piece of shit OS. Doesn't even come with pen. Just iPad with bigger screen and better specs with "pro" joke slapped on product name. Yes, base model doesn't even have 3g/Lte how can it even have a "pro" on it

iPhone:
iPhone 6S - let's face it, the 3D touch is gimmick bullshit and you very rarely use it, you paid for this beta test with battery life and increase in weight. Most problems lies in iOS which is too locked down piece of shit.

Misc:

Apple watch - niche product with shit battery and needs phone to get best of it. Stupid, inconvenient and expensive.

Apple pen - A 99 dollar pen accessory for thousand dollar "pro" tablet.

iOS - Locked down piece of shit.

Which is the most important point nigger. 99% of wired headphones on the market are 3,5 jack. The ones that aren't are either probably the proprietary connectors from old phones or large jack.

You can't download anything from the app or itune store without a apple id. You can't use Apple Music free trial, or dowload any free app without apple id. Apple id is linked to many services to Apple' first party software.

In addition in order to change regions on the itune store, you must provide a update billing information on your payment method

Do you have apple id when download those services? Here are the official steps of into making apple id without payment info.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204034
Either way you have to provide a email address to download free apps from the app store. Apple ID had security measures like preventing you from downloading free apps if it's been disabled.


>You're full of shit and now you're backpedaling and dancing around your fuck up
You haven't refuted in anything because I can backup my claims, you haven't done anything to back yours.

>>52263883
This seems like a deal breaker for me. iPhone isn't too think. Honestly if it gained a few mm and got a larger battery that would be fine as well.

But yeah, this is going to drain battery even faster, and it creates the need to keep your BT headphones charged all the time. So its really two batteries you have to worry about. No thanks.

I want an iphone with androids file management system so I can add and delete files without having to run through itunes/iphotos while worrying about that photo cache which eats up memory like popcorn.

Shieeet. Might buy one for myself. Still using my Note 4, but I wouldn't mine a Hearthstone machine for uni.

Guys what if Apple sell a lightning to 3.5mm adapter and people who don't want to buy wireless headphones have to use that? It'll be like the MacBook and the USB-C port all over.

>>52263883
They want to sell more Beats headphones

>>52274805
that's exactly what is gonna happen

Couldn't they at least consider making it ip67 certified then as it is one less place to fill in

>>52274888
I don't think Apple will ever bother getting an IP certification because it will encourage people to be stupid with their devices.

>>52263883

Apple users. iPhones are fashion accessories. That's why every iPhone case has a circular window so you can still see the Apple logo.

>Oh you have the new iPhone 6, that's so awesome

When the iPhone 7 comes people will be amazed at how thin it is.

Meanwhile people who want to connect headphones are going to have to buy a Lightning DAC specially made by Apple.

Apple will tout it as a feature, since they will say that their Apple DAC has much higher sound quality.

Apple will also make a Lightning Beats, where the DAC will be built into their Beats headphones.

It's marketing genius. It's like Jobs came back from the dead.

>>52286863
This, and on top of that, they will licence the lightening dac shit to crappy accessory companies like Belkin

>>52283593
>it's a feature!

For fuck sake apple, phones don't need to be any thinner, they're plenty thin enough already.

>>52271990

I don't mind it, I'm done with pulling headphone cords through clothing, especially, ass-length coats.

Can't really blame them. It's surprising that they haven't done this earlier. After all, if you aren't innovating your stagnating. I imagine they'll come out with a compromise version of the iPhone 7, kind of like Nintendo's 2DS is a compromise version of the 3DS that can play 3DS games without being as expensive or risky to your young retarded child's eyes.
