  • Genius Bar doesn't hire retired Apple engineer, fires up age discrimination debate

    The logical fallacy is that "years" = "qualification" in a lot of these age discrimination cases. When they claim they were passed over for someone less qualified, they often cite "year of experience" and assume that must somehow make them more qualified.

    Maybe they gave a worse interview than the younger alternative?

    Or maybe the company just wants to hire people who are looking to WORK and not someone looking for a paycheck to coast on til retirement.

    Private companies need to be left the hell alone to do as they please. Why anyone would want to start a business in the US anymore is beyond me. Just not worth it.

    Modest upgrades...The upgrades on a whole seem fairly significant and comparable to previous releases. Maybe Apple should release the same phone with a different shell every year to wow and confuse the broader tech media
    I'm thinking they should move to keeping the same shell for 3 years in a row now that the product has matured.
    I think they should do what they do with all of their product designs. Settle for one and refine it year after year.

    It's a great idea that brings a lot of personality to the product (see Porsche 911). I always prefer a refined product to a radical designed one.
    Of course, those that associate new shapes with new phones are also the same audience that associates more cores and higher numbers to better. There's no problem in losing those users.
    You're talking way over the heads of these low IQ dopamine-addicted users. I mean why would Apple change the design every 2 years if there wasn't a reason to? They nailed the general size/shape with the 6 series. It is idiotic to think they should do something different just to be different.

    Aren't all iPhone updates interim updates?  Unless they are expecting the iPhone 8 in 6 months or so, it's still going to be a year until the next iPhone.

    The iPhone 7 will be the best phone ever.  People who complain about the package just don't get it.  It's about what the phone can DO, not what it looks like.

    Piano Black for me, please.
    It really is getting obnoxious to keep reading "interim update" nonsense..when rumors indicate that literally every facet of the phone that matters is being updated/replaced.
    But due to some vague resemblance to 6 series, nothing else matters. I honestly expect better from this site.

    When you publish this, you are lying to people.

    This is in my opinion the field where the current iPhones perform the worst. Taking photos in dimly lit conditions with the current iPhones is just sad. Shooting videos in the dark, however, is disastrous. 
    That's not an opinion. That's a fact of the world of photography. Have you ever seen the lights that professional photographers and videographers use in night conditions so that the capture doesn't suck? Photography begins and ends with one thing...Light. It is all about light. And there are only so many tricks a camera and lens can do in the absence of light.

    Besides, the iPhone 6 Plus has been taking incredibly low light photos for 2 years now. You just have to use the flash. I'm amazed by the people that complain about poor low light photos and their examples are taken without the flash. As if that is even an option in low light conditions.
