  • 'Secret' Apple retail policy reportedly rewarded polite customers with free fixes, replace...

    I worked at an Apple retail store in ‘07 and ‘08 when I was in college and this definitely was not the policy then.

  • Verizon iPhone 12 users may get better speed on 4G LTE than 5G

    Pretty much proves that 5G is premature, and is 90% marketing right now.
    Premature if they don’t have the spectrum for it. T-Mobile got a shitload, and I mean a shitload, of mid band spectrum when they bought Sprint. They’re rolling it out nationwide as we speak and it’s pretty incredible. Ping times lower than my cable internet at home with download speeds consistently greater than 500Mbps and uploads consistently 100Mbps or more. I’ve been connected to it non-stop all over the NYC area since I got my 12 Pro Max so the market is fully covered.

  • Analysts worry about UK 5G support in 'iPhone 12'

    Do these analysts in the UK not realize that all three major carriers in the US have had LTE on 700MHz for years and they’re rolling out 5G on this frequency as well?

    It would be so easy for Apple to include a full set of radio features to the iPhone complete with SDK ... but how would they charge radio stations a fee for you to listen to their music and ads?
    It may not be technically feasible to provide decent, clear FM in a phone that doesn't offer ONLY a 3.5mm jack for earphones, as the wire for the earphones is often used as the FM antenna. These iPods required ONLY wired earphones, so the FM antenna was always present. I'm not saying it's not possible, but that the audio quality would suffer without wired earphones.
    Sorry, but this isn’t true. The 7th gen Nano had Bluetooth and supported bluetooth headphones.

    “However, most notably, the iPod nano 7th Gen adds H.264 video playback support (720x576) and Bluetooth 4.0 for use with Bluetooth-enabled headphones, speakers, and compatible car stereos.”

  • Twelve years later, Apple is still trying to erase mac.com email addresses

    payecopayeco
    I got my @mac.com email address when I got .Mac for free as an Apple retail employee in college in 2007/2008. 

    Back then they had sales attach metrics and you had to have a certain percentage of all Mac (and iPhone after it came out) sales include a .Mac subscription. Same with AppleCare and ProCare, which was like a paid VIP membership for the Genius Bar. If you didn’t hit the metrics for those three things you’d get yelled at, written up, or possibly fired. It felt incredibly scummy trying to push these paid subscriptions on people who is usually didn’t need them and it was the reason I quit. Supposedly they got rid of the attach rate metrics a couple years after I left.
