The New iPhone

[boggers007]

So true! especially around car nutters/bogans or whatever we are ...

The day the geeks made more money :P

how do you get a dev account, have to be special or available for anyone?

Google apple developer.

Alternatively there are sites out there that allow you to send them your phones Id and they will add your Id to their dev account for like under $10.

Apple doesn't really like it though and are cracking down supposedly

Says the guy who used to be the top poster here that clearly spends more time on the Internet trolling threads he offers no input into than actually playing with his cars :nerd:

I'm looking forward to it, and I like the look of the "leaks". Macca, have you read the iphone 5 thread on whirlpool? Some dickheads in there, lol.

Hmmm, prickly sort aren't you. Clearly the truth hurts...

So, to go back to the very first line of your post.
"So who's waiting for it?"
No I'm not. Why?
I haven't been sucked in by the marketing campaign of Apple that has convinced much of (mostly) gen Y that the world failed to exist before the iPhone was invented. Back in the past, people actually spoke to each other intelligently most of the time, they participated in real, physical activities, and they had long term goals. Now, we have people that can't function without their daily bitchfests on facebook, twitter and other online social media, only aim the length of a twitter post ahead in their lives, are totally obsessed with their online image, would rather play games on their phones/pc's than "real" games with friends, can't go out to dinner with friends/partners without spending half the night on their phones to other people/websites, think a tropical relaxing holiday without free wi-fi is a holiday from hell, walk in front of and get splattered by cars, bikes, trains whatever rather than looking at where they are walking- like, you can't read that status update/text 5 whole seconds after it was sent or you're a loser, lose their jobs over their phone addictions during work hours, are seriously sleep deprived over using their phones/ipads/pc's right up to the minute they try to go to sleep, the sexting menace from camera phones destroying lives, to some pretty serious mental health issues, much of which is fuelled by smartphone easy access to online hate.
So, to anyone that reckons the world has become "better" from all this geeky techy stuff, and reckons the next iGeek is something huge to look out for, you have no idea.
Rant over.

Thanks accepted.
Most people will know where I'm coming from, based purely on what they see every single day. I wouldn't expect an Apple thread to kindly take to my sort of hellish anti-smartphone input...

I have a smartphone, but it's not an Apple i-ripoff. I'm not on a huge mega data plan designed to help me waste away half my life doing fark all, and it definitely comes second to the rest of my life. I even look where I'm walking...
The thing MANY fail to grasp, is that this geeky, consumer spending driven world ain't "better"...it's just "different". The bizarre thing is that many people these days, in trying to outdo each other with all their spending on the latest "must haves", all end up being exactly the same as each other!
Many will say the current era is actually worse than "the past". Look at how stressed out the world is these days. Too many people have no down time. Why do you reckon??????????????????????????????????????
It aint that hard to figure out...

I think you'll find most people here own smart phones Davo. So your dribble is no doubt falling on deaf ears much like everything else you comment on. I personally can't think of anyone in the large professional domain I work in that doesn't have one (mostly iPhones too).

You seem to have missed my post from three minutes ago macca.
It's not having a smartphone that's the issue- it's the totally obsessed with nothing else but their phone addiction many have that's the real problem, and it's hurting people in many ways.
Perhaps try to stop taking what I've written so personally, and start understanding it.

I must confess. I couldn't bring myself to read the entirety of your post.

Once again here you are taking shit off topic. Why don't you give us all a break and stay out of threads you have nothing to contribute.

Mods could you please clean it up by removing the irrelevant posts. Or better yet the cause
