I would be willing to bet that you would never notice a 1mm difference. I’ve never ever had an issue with pockets. That is simply an excuse.
I have to buy a special cable so it can be the thinnest phone in the world!
Who cares if it scratches and leaks light? Just put it in a case. Nobody needs a thin phone.
Is it?
Maybe I wear skinny jeans?

Why do people maje iPhone hate a full time gig
I’m about to start trolling s3 people and owning their phones full time
I hate each equally but spending a few extra bucks on a cable isn’t a big deal I spend way more on other frivolous tech shit
Just for a reality check:
have fun trying, apparently the issue was already patched. as long as phones have been OTA updated it won’t work.
You should switch to HTC phones. You’ll just need to find the code for it.

dat gap
i just jizzed in my skinny jeans
So that bug already has unpatched variants lol
It would seem long term switching to the smaller connector would make sense
Smaller connector? yes. Proprietary connector? ehh. Proprietary Connector with an authentication chip? GTFO. Micro USB? yes.
Ok?
Not sure who you guys are debating connector with its been proprietary from day 1
It’s not something that stops people from buying it

Nothing changes the fact it’s one of the best phones out
I have been considering going S3 based on battery life but that hasn’t been determined yet
yeah, it’s not really a big deal. it would really piss me off to HAVE to buy from apple though. I typically like to keep a handful of them around for travel,office,bedroom,downstairs,etc… That’s $100 worth of cables right there.
It’s definitely one of the best out.
I’m just being a whiny bitch. The internet is my place to complain and be a jerk so that people in real life don’t have to listen to me.
No issue with Apple going proprietary, especially since they came up with a superior design that is not only thinner but REVERSIBLE (suck it every usb). Putting an auth chip is just a douche move though.
Little more info about Google/Apple

I personally am not plugging some random cable off ebay into my 800 dollar iPhone. Same reason why I don’t use dollar store surge protectors to protect my $2,000 TV setup
Interesting info in the link. I think Apple will need to come to some realization about how much effort it takes to be good at maps. Google has a MASSIVE team of people dedicated to that initiative as well as an extremely sophisticated back-end system for managing/updating/fixing maps. I’m not just being a Google humper when I say that I genuinely do not think that Apple will ever catch up to Google on maps.
Apple has more then enough money to do whatever it wants…
They also have a ton of talent
The thing that always holds them back it some high level decision to not go a certain route.
It’s not like this is some internet start up with a limited amount of VC/funding and need to rush to get a product.
Good point, they do have basically unlimited cash. They’ll need to put it to use though, and hire a lot of people to do the grunt work on managing the little details within the maps. I am sure the code is good, we all know without even seeing it that the UI is good. Sounds to me like the data needs to be massaged quite a bit though. That just takes man hours. It will be tedious, and nobody will enjoy doing it, but that’s what needs to be done.
The thing that always fucks Apple is someones vision for their direction.
They got really into corporate/XServer/XSan etc found a bunch of clients etc then decided they didn’t want to go that direction anymore.
yeah, which is crazy, because with the corporate adoption of iPhone and now Macs are starting to get popular with C-levels, it would be an easy sell for the servers to start moving in. Alas, that will never happen now that those projects are dead.
Mac /= Corporate at all. They clearly aren’t interested in the business environment nor do they really need to be.
Your right but back in like 2006-2007 they were making a big push.
I was working with engineers from Apple on a DoD integration program.
The project had multiple fronts
Integrating Macs on the DoDs network for normal users(full AD integration etc)
Deploying Macs at Walter Reed medical center for injured military personal to communicate with family etc
We were also doing a project that involved a youtube like portal for the army allowing all different size units to do podcasting for training/other field activities. It was built on Xserve/Xsan/Podcast producer and a few other technologies.
Shortly after all this Apple decided to get out of the 1U server business and stop making its own XSan hardware.
I understand the XSan hardware part but dumping enterprise grade rack mount server equipment ended the corporate front.
The killing of their Xserve hardware was really the first sign, they weren’t interested in the business environment. That carried through to their OSs and now their current hardware.
From talking with some of their older engineers in their 40s etc
Apple has done this multiple times they make a big push into corporate then someone decides that isn’t the true vision of apple and they get out.
