docwra Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 we must give them some credit for what the market offers today. Why arent you driving a Mercedes or a Ford then? Sorry, but thats the single worst reason Ive heard for buying one. "Im used to iPhones", "Ive got loads of iProducts", "Im a massive Apple fanboi" are all valid, but buying it because you liked the the one they released 6 years ago ........ Anyways, Im off to go drink some Hooch, have a quick go on my Atari and tell someone why my Casio watch is better than their Patek Phillippe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 The new Maps app is ****ing useless. The satellite view has no zoom on it at all, and there's loads of places covered by cloud. Yes, having navigation is handy, but no satellite view just cripples it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, having navigation is handy, but no satellite view just cripples it. they've also lost street view as well, its a shame in someways that these companies have to compete with each other in the same markets. means apple have lost out on some of googles good software. my guess is you would still be able to get google nav or maps of some kind as an app on the iphone to get it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Streetview I can live without, but no sat view is retarded. There was talk about Google doing a map app, and I really hope they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lrh Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Nano SIMs? Jeez that's another attempt to restrict what SIMs people put in their phones now that Micro SIMs are widely available. Ever notice how iPhone SIMs are £5 a month more than the equivalent non-iPhone deal? There's been inertia until now based on the supposed "eco-system" advantage but trading on past glories only works so long, as RIM and Nokia have found out. Mercedes and VW have been trading off past glories for about 20 years! Dropping the best mapping service for their own inferior one (just to stick two fingers up at Google) hardly fits with the image of having the best apps and user experience now does it? I sense Apple has already peaked in the mobile arena so enjoy it while it lasts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4RE Leather Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 The beauty is that the jailbrake software is all ready to go. I will do mine the moment I getting home. Then If I want google mapping on it I will. When I put the jailbrake on the iPad and iPhone 4 it was like having an uprev done. It's good to see that individualism is rife in this debate.

rtbiscuit Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 shame people have to jail break a phone to get it to do what you want; if its so good why does it need doing? does it just not turn it in to an apple shaped android phone?

Well Jailbreaking my phone and Ipad has allowed me to play more and have some things that I otherwise might not have had. Fantastic blacklist app and call blocker for 1. It is a learning curve and one that I am enjoying. I am happy. Bang!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrh Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Not saying you but other people in here are like I hate apple fan boys, fan boys suck yet are massive driod boys That's why I posted mostly postive reviews of it Questioning if it's really all that great and worthy of £500-700 isn't being a massive hater or fanboy for something else. I've used a Blackberry in the past as much as Android, have a WebOS tablet, and I'm interested to see what Microsoft/Blackberry/Mozilla/Intel bring to the party in the next year. If Apple made a device that did exactly what I need I'd suck it up and lay my money down but they're a million miles from that and getting further away by the day. If someone was pimping a mod to the Z that cost £500-700 would questioning its effectiveness and value cause such offence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because someone dislikes what apple stands for and it's attractaction to the general populace doesn't mean they are a fanboy of any particular brand. I can't stand the apple brand and am currently weighing up whether to go for an Samsung S3 or HTC One X. It just so happens that Android is the only viable alternative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Safari is much, much quicker. And Siri is actually helpful now, unlike how it used to be. Panoramic photos are epic, too! Question: Why has it evolved into Apple vs Android, when really the Android folks should be arguing over which handset is better comparing the One X, S3 etc? Surely that's a fairer comparison, and far easier to do subjectively? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
