    I'd like to see Weekend 2 numbers. Tons of Jet Black being shipped this week that will be activated (including mine, which arrives Wed or Thu!).


    (Off-topic: I had something weird happen for the first time ever, with an Apple product shipment. I took advantage of the ATT promo to return my son's 6 for a free 7. The Fedex 'delivery' arrived last Friday, but there was a peculiar note from the delivery guy: it said, "go to the Fedex office to pick it up". I did, the person at the Fedex office brought over my box: it was opened..... with no phone inside! I was told that "...it probably fell off." I've been wasting time with ATT and Fedex these past couple of days, and finally they told me that a new one will be on its way in "7-10 days.")
    Yep. Someone stole it. I ordered my 7 plus through Apple using AT&T Next program. It's been shipped directly to my address. I'm praying nothing like that happens. Hope the package gives no hints there is an iPhone inside. Shipping time is 2-3 weeks. 
    The crooks are savvy enough now to know disguised return addresses and the size of the box.

    I wonder if this will happen with the release, err, I mean re-release of the Note 7? Will fire trucks be on hand just in case?

    Apple fan lines are ridiculed by pundits and critics alike. Even some stuffed shirts right here on AI point and laugh while solemnly declaring they would never stand in line for anything. Apple customers who stand in line are denigrated as robot lemmings and “iSheeple.” You know what? That’s pure, unadulterated jealousy. Other smartphone manufacturers would sell their grandmothers into slavery to see lines like that for their products. Of course those other manufacturers don’t have many stores for people to line up in front of do they? The stores themselves are objects of derision and jokes right here on AI too. More evidence of raging jealousy.
    I think both things can be true at the same time. Apple's runaway success creates the environment, but you have to seriously question the priorities of people who stand in line over night to buy an iPhone.
    No one does not have to question why people do anything legal that does not compromise someone else's rights Gladys Kravitz.  Is your life a vision of perfection?  Being as judgmental as you seem to be, i'd wager no.  Fix yourself, leave others to their own devices otherwise Iyanla fix my life will hunt you down.

  • Class-action lawsuit targets Apple's iPhone Upgrade Program

    stanhopestanhope
    If you think Apple is bad...try Sprint.  On the phone literally 5+ hours, told 5 different stories/costs none of which bore any resemblence to the program benefits delineated when getting the phone last year  (I took pics of the point of sale collateral materials). Sprint's iPhone Forever means you will be on the phone forever interacting with people who either were never trained or never had a brain. At one point i said to the representative, "did you listen to yourself?"  A complete disgrace.

  • Apple Watch Series 2 abandons gold Edition models in favor of ceramic

    Having a gold watch is meaningful only if you can still use it 10, 20, 50 years from now. In 5 years the Gold Apple Watch would be worth nothing except for the gold.
    LOL you are a real jewel.  Do you think a person owning a $500,000 Vacheron Constantin or Patek Philippe is wearing everyday and out to the tennis court.  Your plane is attempting an altitude your social position can't achieve.

  • What you need to know about Apple Watch Series 2 before preorders begin on Friday, Sept. 9

    I bought the original AW out the gate.  I was so hoping that the AW2 would offer something irresistible to inspire purchase.  It has not.  While I go to the gym 5x/week, the GPS does little for me.  Water resistance means nothing for me so only the improved processor would move me to buy as I do think the watch slow.  I'll read more reviews before making a final decision but it is looking like AW3 for me at this point.
