Are you coming from an iPhone 14?

Our home PC died this week after 10 faithful years. My wife likes using the computer at the desk so I’m about to order a M2 mini.

Intel version of the mini so I can dual boot.

Yes of course.

I am still using a Series 6 watch, but will preorder a new one when the band I want is available. That two finger tap option got me to want to upgrade.

M1 iMac, M2 MacBook Air

I own no iPads. Tried them but hate them.

I’m on a 13 mini. Not going to upgrade till they roll out the next version in a small form factor. Hate big phones.

that phone did not sell well, so I know of no plans to update it.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgringofhonor-fatherg-110.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Itll happen. Ive read they plan to


Sep 15, 2023, 9:19 AM

Skip a generation or two from now on with that form factor.

I looked at a trade in

it was worth like $35 or something. LOL.

I usually pass stuff to family members but I will let you know if it is not otherwise wanted.

I want the Apple Watch Ultra 2

Sep 15, 2023, 9:01 AM [ in reply to Yes of course. ]

but I don't need it. I just want it. Convince me I am an idiot (or it is a good idea).

The idiot part isn't hard.

2024 purple level memberringofhonor-greenr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I might go by the store to look at it

1

Sep 15, 2023, 9:18 AM

but I am thinking it will just look too big and I sure do not need its features.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgringofhonor-fatherg-110.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Also, Its my opinion that Apple bands suuuuuck

Sep 15, 2023, 9:03 AM [ in reply to Yes of course. ]

I am basing this on the two Apple Watches I have left on the bottom of Lake Cumberland that came off from basic swimming.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpgringofhonor-obed.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


You obviously did not have the new Ultra bands

Sep 15, 2023, 9:17 AM

designed for swimming.

The was before them, and I accept their introduction

Of said bands as an apology for creating such crappy ones in the first place.

How much are the new phones?

Sep 15, 2023, 9:17 AM

I guess I need to retire my Iphone 7 at some point, and the 15 seems like a good enough place to do it.

Way too much.

I have no idea what a iPhone 15 costs, I am a Pro guy of course. LOL.

iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will be available in black titanium, white titanium, blue titanium, and natural titanium finishes. iPhone 15 Pro remains at the same starting price of $999 (U.S.) or $41.62 (U.S.) per month, available in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage capacities. iPhone 15 Pro Max starts at $1,199 (U.S.) or $49.95 (U.S.) per month, available in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage capacities.
Apple offers great ways to save and upgrade

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

$1099 for me


Sep 15, 2023, 9:24 AM

15 Pro with 256GB

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgringofhonor-fatherg-110.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The pro is the bigger one, right?

Sep 15, 2023, 9:26 AM

Or is that the pro max? I can't keep them straight.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Each model has a regular size and a bigger version


Sep 15, 2023, 9:28 AM

iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus

iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max

Do not ask why each bigger version has a different name. This is the way.

Youre paying $1100 to basically get USB-C charging?

I ain’t judging, but I just don’t see any diff at all from 14 to 15.

trade ins on new phones are much better. And I am having a Bluetooth issue that cannot be duplicated on demand, but happens more than I want, so it is going back to Apple.

Plus, there is a new button!!!!

From what I've heard, iOS 17 is supposed to fix a lot of BT

1

Sep 15, 2023, 10:48 AM

issues, but I know the M2 hardware solved a few M1 bluetooth issues, so maybe apple had a real oof moment when they spec'd the chip during this timeframe, and upgrading is the fix.

As an aside, isn't it insane that a TB of data can fit

comfortably in your hand? I got one of the first Palm Pilots in 2000 or 2001. It had options for 1MB or the more expensive 2MB platform.

2MB, baby. I had deals to power-broker, ain’t no time to run out of memory in my contact book.

Yep. I just replaced one of these the other day. 2TB, it's

What's even crazier is those are not even $175. HD storage

is almost free - unless you are buying it in an iphone.

remember when you'd order a new Iphone every 2 yrs?

to be one of the cool kids. Remember waiting in line for an iphone 6 for 5 hours. I'm on my 3rd for iphone 12, hope to get a few more out of it.

Hope they got rid of the very fragile back glass that cracks from a 2 foot drop, no, not bitter here.
