Yeah. I think its obvious that it isn't coming to the iPad 2 when consider that the voice dictation thing for iPad was exclusive to the iPad 3. :sad:

What is it with their obsession with Twitter fgs

Sam:) 11-06-2012 05:59 PM

Have a feeling either my iPhone 4 or iPod Touch 3G could become obsolete today:(

Niall 11-06-2012 06:02 PM

I wouldn't bet on it Sam, they're only announcing the next version of iOS today. They tend to update the iPod/iPhone line in October or September.

Sawyer 11-06-2012 06:03 PM

iPhone 3GS maybe, but not 4. They've supported the 3Gs since 2009, so the 4 should be fine for another year or so, hopefully. (I have the 4)

Any word on this? Would consider buying a Macbook for the first time but if they've not got disc drives any more they can ****** off

I don't think they have. I agree with Apple pushing things forward (remember the horror of abandoning floppy disc drives).. but I do think this may be one step too far, I'm not sure. That said, I hardly use the disc drive in my MacBook Pro.

The new Pro is devoid of a disc drive, yes. It hasn't got an ethernet port either as Apple branded them as "legacy technologies".

Woah, thats a pretty bold move. But like they always say, 'think different'

Sawyer 11-06-2012 06:10 PM

-waiting for the apple store to get back online-

Niall 11-06-2012 06:10 PM

iOS time. :amazed:

Yeah. They're being pretty agressive over it. But there's logic to it as well, I mean I barely use my disc drive anymore, and I've never used the ethernet port on my MacBook, so. :shrug:

Can understand why they'd ditch ethernet - laptops are primarily mobile devices, you don't necessarily want them tied down to routers etc.

Still think they're a bit premature in axing disc drives though - after all, download sales of albums have only just overtaken CD sales in the last few months (AFAIK). DVDs aren't exactly dead yet either.

Sawyer 11-06-2012 06:13 PM

That's Apple though, which is a large part of the reason of why I love their stuff. Clear out the old crap, pushing things forward. But I agree, may of been a TAD premature... -never disagree's with apples decisions lol-

Doogle 11-06-2012 06:14 PM

Idc about any of this except the new iOS

Sawyer 11-06-2012 06:15 PM

Yeah, I WANT A NEW HOME/LOCK SCREEN. Widgets, one-glance info. Current iPhone homescreen is a little stagnant.

Yeah I mean ethernet has kinda fallen out of use now with the advent of wi-fi.

And whilst that's true, I'm sure not many people will be too bothered by it. 95% of the stuff that can be bought in physical format can be gotten in download form so its good that they're modernising I guess. I makes the machine a lot lighter and thinner too.

Same, it's long overdue. I know the current one is sort of "traditional" for iPhone now but they could do with tweaking it a bit (or a lot) or at least offering other options. Samsung Galaxy has a much more customisable home/lock screen and it looks amazing. But I still prefer iPhone to Galaxy, just not the layout.

Ikr the weather app annoys me so much in that it just displays the one temperature all the time its such a waste omfg.

Sawyer 11-06-2012 06:20 PM

It always amazes me how to Apple iOS apps are sometimes worse than developer's apps are. IE Weather app / MET office weather app.

Sawyer 11-06-2012 06:22 PM

Siri on new iPad. FOR **** SAKE.

Sorry apple, but we all know iPad 2 is capable enough. Piss take. Money grabbers.

Niall 11-06-2012 06:24 PM

iPad Siri is exclusive to iPad 3 (bastards :bored:).

Doogle 11-06-2012 06:27 PM

That's going to piss a lot of people off

Sawyer 11-06-2012 06:27 PM

Pretty cool iOS features right there.

Smithy 11-06-2012 06:29 PM

siri is overrated tbh

True, but its a bit of a rip to snub a perfectly capable device like they just have.
