ian_
16:03:55
Greenie only needs 1 story and a tangent
MaJiKman
16:04:26
Yes Ian, his story this week is about tangents

I happily went to bed early before the X preorder, tucked in happily with my 8 Plus.
MaJiKman
16:05:41
Yes thanks Ian, Op went really went but I’m still doing an impression of a colander

MaJiKman

On holiday we convinced our mate that the heat rash he had was syphillis and hr needed to wash himself with TCP
windrider
16:12:15
disturbingly happy
MaJiKman
16:12:17
You could hear him in Spain
MaJiKman
16:13:14
Yes Patrice I have very little control and it pees out all the time.
MaJiKman

Can’t justify £1000 for a phone!!
MaJiKman

AU$1839 for the 256 Gb model. No.
MaJiKman
16:23:36
Yeah but the tp spec version Ewen
windrider
16:23:44
$2138 with AppleCare
patrice
16:23:59
It's charging right now. One of the best things about me this car
bobbeach
16:25:25
I’m on the upgrade program so I have AppleCare. But I’ve never had to have any of my 6 iPhones repaired. I’m very careful!
Hobbs
16:25:27
New iMac is more important to me at the moment
Mike

Mike
16:29:03
Its principle not price. Also the 8 Plus is better. Same primary lens. I dont want a 2.2 secondary. Ill stick with my 1.8.
Mike
16:29:44
The battery is at least 1 hour more than the X. 8 Plus for the win
windrider
16:31:10
I used a Motorola Razr v6 before my first iPhone (3GS)
MaJiKman
16:31:12
the X is £6 per month more than my 6S+ well worth it
MaJiKman
16:31:45
Good point Doc HMRC have bought this for me
Hobbs
16:31:51
It’s all down to personal choice

Views about price and value are inevitably subjective. So isn’t this is a bit of a fruitless discussion?
patrice
16:33:04
Yep
rowarta
16:33:07
just joined, anybidy managed to get iphone x with delivery/pick up next friday?
MaJiKman
16:33:33
Yes @rowarta I have
rowarta
16:33:54
IUP or standard order?
MaJiKman
16:34:13
Through my carrier
Mike
16:34:21

It’s more expnsive than the macbook pro I bought 18 months ago!!
rowarta
16:35:22
isn't this just economic supply and demand
Hobbs
16:35:34
Or is it just that the 10 costs that much more to produce and that’s why they produced it alongside the 8
PaulDixon
16:35:42
It's strange, Apple has never offered a more expensive iPhone - but at the other end of the scale they are also offering the cheapest ever iPhone (SE).
bobbeach
16:35:59
Real wages are definitely falling for many workers
rowarta
16:36:11
agree @bobbeach
rowarta
16:36:39
and UK / dollar exchage rate I suspect has also impacted us
Hobbs
16:36:39
Agree that there is a valuable discussion in it.
bobbeach
16:37:20
It has massively affected us @rowarta
windrider
16:38:55
The base price of the Retina 4k iMac is about $60 more than the 256 GB X.
rowarta
16:38:58
iPhone X in Barcelona will soon be 1 million peseta
MaJiKman
16:39:03
We were never in the Euro Doc
bobbeach
16:39:05
Yes. The £/$ rate fell significantly after the Brexit vote
DPhoto

Rene Ritchie on Instagram: $1529

On principle alone, not worth it

MBP in your pocket
MaJiKman
16:40:16
But I can’t put an iMac in my pocket
DPhoto
16:40:29
Exactly Ewan, it's not a production machine for most
windrider
16:41:07
Currently the iOS 11 experience is far more extensive on the iPad than iPhone
glennbtn
16:41:54
Agreed I am looking at the ipad pro 10.5 was way more worth it
MaJiKman
16:43:06
Its a phone, email, internet, camera, Sat Nav, Calc, diary, contacts, notebook, all in your pocket
Ewen
16:43:30
All those things were in The Nokia N95 @Majikman
bobbeach
16:43:33
Gitanes?
patrice
16:43:54
I think he meant Gauloises
windrider
16:44:10
MaJiKman Same description fits the iPhone SE
MaJiKman
16:44:16
Not as good, and didnt link to my iCloud with all my documents and iTunes
Hobbs
16:44:29
On more of an environmental issue I don’t upgrade to often
MaJiKman
16:44:55
SE to small for me
glennbtn
16:44:55
That’s why there is dropbox

Should start a reality show at this point. Samsung vs Apple vs Kardasians
Hobbs
16:47:01
This is getting silly, both sides are as bad as each other
bobbeach
16:48:38
The lawyers are loving it
Hobbs
16:48:41
Only lawyers make money out of these cases, they could of used the money to cut the iPhone X
windrider
16:48:55
lawyers are the only winners
