muller
16:23:33
My life was changed my a Nokia someone threw it at me
muller
16:23:59
Smart phones were here before apple Nokia even had an app stote
ChuckJ
16:24:37
Point taken, but none of those had the interfaces that were going to have widespread adoption
BobBeach
16:24:42
It was just another computing device. Better than previous phones true
muller
16:24:44
Bloody hell BTN has thousands of casterated bovine on today
BobBeach
16:25:51
Hyperbole, patrice
muller
16:26:05
Psion were the founders of smartphones
muller
16:27:07

muller
16:27:40
I bought google nexus phones and put a UK SIM in
muller
16:29:04
AGAIN NOKIA AND PSION HAD IT BEFORE APPLE
patrice
16:29:23
or Multi Touch
BobBeach
16:29:23
It was a revolution in the tech/phone industry but it didn’t chnage most people’s lives
patrice
16:29:28
*Not for
muller
16:29:35
Wide adoption came once data came down in price
BobBeach
16:29:38
Most people couldn’t afford one
BobBeach
16:30:13
I didn’t get one till the 3GS
BobBeach
16:30:59
And you could only get one on one specific network. I think it was Vodafone
muller
16:31:27
Yeah but Nokia had the first app store..... I had a phone in 90s just didnt have apps
muller
16:31:51
BobBeach these lot have drank the coolade
BobBeach
16:32:04
Certainly have
ChuckJ
16:32:13
LOL...we were thirsty.
patrice
16:32:17
No.. you guys are talking bollocks.
muller
16:33:43
HA got apple stuck in your eyes..... I had a Psion 3a running on two AA botteries in my pocket in the 90s then a Psion 5.
BobBeach
16:33:57
Vanishingly small minority
patrice
16:34:28
Who the fuck cares BobBeach??? It did change people life. You can't argue with that. Even if it was one single person.
muller
16:34:36
JeffG did you have pants on in the apple store
BobBeach
16:35:06
It was life changing for some but not for everyone. Let’s’ not go overboard

16:37:21
Nokia had a video app just the data was so expensive it was unusable for most of us. Apple were luck that 3g networks happened and data came down in price. I now have two SIMs on unlimited data but my cable company virgin gave me a sim with 10gig for free per month
Majikman
16:37:33
Afternoon all
BobBeach
16:37:41
Personal computers had more of an impact on my work/home life. IPhones were, eventually, an extension of that
muller
16:38:20
Hello majikman I did email the link
Majikman
16:38:50
Yes thanks Muller, just in from work
BobBeach
16:39:02
Th e internet was more life changing than the iPhone
patrice
16:39:34
That might be true. Doesn't change the facts. THere can be multiple such things
muller
16:40:08
BobBeach the bullshit is strong in these Yanks
BobBeach
16:40:28
Patrice is German!
muller
16:40:44
Ipone was crap until iphone 4 anyway
BobBeach
16:41:18
It wasn’t reall that good till apps were allowed, and Jobs was against that initially
muller
16:41:29
At least you didnt wet your pants JeffG you didnt have any on
muller
16:42:05
JeffG you were in a CULT.... note no N
muller
16:43:14
Nokia had touch screen and so did Psion....
JeffG
16:43:21
Having actually been in a literal cult, I can definitely say it was not a cult.
BobBeach
16:43:22
If I hear another person going on about how wondrous Job’s introduction of the IPHone was,, I’m going to scream
muller
16:43:30
Psion had a touch screen in mid 90s
BobBeach
16:43:40
They’re always doing it on MBW
patrice
16:43:46
APple had touch screens in the early 90s. So what?
Majikman
16:43:54
I thought Steves presentaion as God like.
Majikman
16:44:56
Was the iPhone the first non-subsidised phone?
muller
16:45:31
I had compaq winCE devices I traveled us with TomTom on it
muller
16:46:14
Apple phones were on T mobile but were on contract only and you paid with a contract
muller
16:46:23
in UK
muller
16:47:53

I liked my original Apple Watch, but you’re right muller , it got really good after series 3
BobBeach
16:54:40
I bet ChuckJ was given a gold Apple Watch
muller
16:54:40
AR headsets I got no interest
muller
16:55:10
And I want version 3
ChuckJ
16:55:22
You are right. A friend had an Apple Watch 1 that is dead. They spraypainted it gold and gave it to me.
muller
16:55:57
Rename the notch the snatch :)
muller
16:57:03
Hold on other companies have cameras and fingerprints sendors under the display
patrice
16:57:48
THey don't. because you can't cheat physics. Cameras need light
muller
16:57:52
I got a second phone and its front facing camera is under the LCD
Majikman
16:58:09
Oh boy, glad i didnt miss this!!
ChuckJ
16:58:40
It will get better, Majikman. Later, we will all sing.
BobBeach
16:58:40
Notch, oil, hole? Who cares
Majikman
16:59:07
Oh yes please Chuck
muller
16:59:33
In the Real world people do notice it
BobBeach
16:59:58
Not sure they doo muller
ChuckJ
17:00:01
Notice? Of course. Care? I'm not buying it.
Majikman
17:01:18
No and the notch has become related with Apple
muller
17:02:05
You lot email me your address I send you a red pill and a blur pill....
Majikman
17:03:01
For faceID i’d have a whole bar across the top
muller
17:04:08
Got the money for iphone 13 but my XR I can replace the battery and I dont think I care
muller
17:04:27
How about a user replaceable battery
BobBeach
17:04:34
I think we all agree it’s a non-story. Next.
Majikman
17:04:56
Hopefully the Apple retro return to features from the past will bring back the touch pad in the 2024 M3 MBP!!!
BobBeach
17:05:28
So without TSHosts we wouldn’t have this crap?
Majikman
17:05:55

I tried that, Muller...and hated it because it was hard to take off. This goes on and comes off easy, and can be reused.
JeffG
