The iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch circlejerk thread

[LeftyHoges]

Cause it's not in the apple store. They are ones he made for himself, and I used when I started. Freely available from his site. Don't know what any others are like. But these work fine, so why can't I just ****ing put them on an iphone......

Because the files could be full of viruses, and then if they were you'd be in here bitching about those.

[goughy]

itunes is happy enough to have the files.... and never had an issue putting them on my old ipod.... and will apparently do it fine as long as she turns icloud sync off on her phone.....

It it's not on iTunes the bloke doesn't want people to listen to his podcast

Yes, but if they are available through iTunes then their validity is checked and put into appropriate formats etc.

You can put kiddie porn through iTunes if they're your own files.

Pissed off thread, or here...... ****s me!

How mind bogglingly ****ing stupid is this ****ing device!!! Downloaded some completely free couch to 5k podcasts for Jasmine to use to start running longer distances. She's really keen to give it a go. Have to load them into itunes itself which is just a stupid ****ing idea as it is. Then try to transfer them to her iphone and they won't transfer because she has icloud or something turned on. Have to turn icloud syncing or whatever it is off to be able to transfer them to her phone, but it says if we do that it'll delete all the music she has (Apple music subscription) on her phone. Who the ****ing hell comes up with these ****ed ways of ****ing doing these things. They are ****ed in the head. Ultimate media device my ****ing arse. After spending the last hour or so trying to get something working on kyan's xbox I'm ****ed with all these ****ing tech devices........ fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

I hear your pain Goughy. I hate tech stuff as well. This post looks like something I'd write almost word for word!

How many u's break the swear filter. And is that an infraction.cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu l8r

[Lagerlover]

[goughy]

Yeah, didn't expect that to sneak through. Is the infraction system still in place? Happy to take what ever penalty is doled my way. My own fault.

[Johnny Canuck]

Somebody notify Clikchic

[goughy]

Oh she knows. She heard me swearing plenty while trying to get the podcasts to transfer.

Ok, so one of the kids needs a new phone. Will be an iPhone. I saw Telstra have 32g iPhone 6 for $449 ATM, with some prepaid $30 thing. He doesn't need the pre paid thing as we're on a plan. Not gonna find anything better than that am I?

Virgin have the iPhone SE for $40/month 3gb data and ublimited calls and texts

[goughy]

Only after a phone outright. Plus we get bad signal with optus at my place, which is why we changed back to telstra....... Kogan have the SE for about $500 for the 32g...... but I don't really know about buying phones from Kogan.

Officeworks/Harvey Norman have the 32gb SE for $399 on prepaid Telstra. According to the guys on Whirlpool it can be unlocked straight away with Telstra.

[goughy]

OK, they're not two places I would have thought of! Thanks guys! We're on telstra anyway so shouldn't need to be unlocked!

[jimandr]

Have a look in latest/new Aldi catalogue, not for sale until 23 August.

Virgin have the iPhone SE for $40/month 3gb data and ublimited calls and texts

Octopus have a $25/month unlimited calls and text with 3gb data (they also have data free spotify streaming). I recently bought an iphone SE locked to them so am going on this plan while it lasts.

My workmate bought his iPhone 6s from Kogan. He was peaking about it being fake or something going wrong with it technically but he confirmed the serial number with apple before the purchase and it all checked out. The phone was unlocked, Came via DHL 4 days after ordering and hasn't had a single issue with it since he received it. He recommends them pretty highly.

[AndyP]

Unless they are an authorised seller, they would be grey imports and warranties would not be honoured in Australia.

[sticks]

True, The phone isn't Australian delivered so the warranty is an issue. That's the risk taken to save some dollars I guess.

[goughy]

We got one from HN. He's pretty stoked so far. Turned up pretty quickly, and we put his telstra sim in it (not the one that came with it) and all working fine. He's had no probs playing pokemon go with it thus far..............

Jas's 6 battery is getting funky. She's got the whole dropping from 25% to dead straight away, then when plugging in reporting like 25% battery. I've told her to consider doing a full wipe/reset etc but she's not keen. Is that the way to go when they start doing this? Or should we really be looking at a new battery? And what are the batteries like from the shopping centre places? We did have the old 5 battery replaced at an Apple store after it was nearly 2 years old, but that was under warranty and part of some replacement program the serial number fell into.

[goughy]

Wow, that is one expensive phone!

Facial recognition failed on the first attempt, had to smile at that.

[olddogmike]

I have an Android phone which has facial ( iris) recognition, 10 core processor, 2080 by 1080 resolution 21mp camera, which cost me less than $200, why should I ever think about paying 10 time more for Apple.?
