New iphone 8 is here!

[take8easy]

I am not one of those guys who get excited by electronic gadgets. I like to have something that works reliably.

I heard that the new iphone 8 has wireless charging! Now, THAT certainly piqued my interest.

My iphone 5 seems to have slowed down a step so may be it is time for an upgrade. But it is said to be about $1,000 Canadian.

I kinda want a phone like my first one again, Nokia 3391: green backlit screen, t9 texting, charge battery once every 9-10 days, functions as a hackeysack when you get bored... I'll probably end up blowing 1500 or so on the new one though

I just couldn't spend that much on a phone, would rather get their laptop.

I would too, but you can neither text an SP from a laptop or take it with you to an incall. Just kidding.

It's official! It's called iphone X (Ten)!

Shoot, this should be a poll... would you or would you not pay $1319 for a new smartphone? According to CHEK News website 93% of people say no!

I've been waiting to upgrade my 6s. The 7 didn't do it for me, neither the newly announced 8/8s. But the X is something I'd consider.

 

[mercyshooter]

Shit! Don't order. It's impractical!

Actually if it's a Mac Laptop you can text from it.

I wonder if they'll take my brick sized flip phone as a trade in....

I like Apple products a lot but this just seems like gouging because they know their core buyers will line up to get one.

Crazy price IMO. They would have to discount it a hell of a lot before I ever get one.

Thing I don't like about the new one is lack of home button that uses finger print recognition. Works so well for the apps I use.

I have a 6S which is a huge improvement over the 5S POS that had so many problems.

I'll just turn off the IOS updates because moving forward they'll all be for the " X "

I will buy one. It has a bigger screen than my 7+ on a smaller body.

Please! Go out and buy one, or maybe 3. I want to retire early. Get my apple stock price u. Finally put my old nexus of 5 years to rest. BTW, wireless charging..... Lol...... Bought a $250 Chinese phone that works great and does more than I need it to.

Speaking of a phone working well or things it can do......

An old lady walks into a phone shop.

"I bought this phone from you guys? You know the kind that vibrates?"

"Oh yes ma'am, I do remember selling it to you. I hope you are enjoying it."

"Well, everything was fine, till I put it in my lap. It started to vibrate and I kinda liked it. So I put it further up and.... then I accidentally slipped it deep up my pvt parts!"

"Oh no, what are you doing here then? You should go to the emergency room!!"

"I came to ask you how can I charge it while it is still in there?"

Well now you know why the new iPhone supports wireless charging.
