ORIGINAL: Marky_Mark A little surprised that no-one has commented yet on Apple's iPhone 5 announcement from last night.... I can't be bothered talking about Apple products in most public forums anymore, due to the sheer volume of vocal and angry dissenters that feel the urge to respond to any and all mention of the brand name (seriously, see any of the Engadget articles from over the past 24 hours). Wired ran a really great article on the current state of the iPhone. We're now in an age of refinement instead of innovation, which, as a keen and longstanding user of Apple devices I'm used to. As a MacBook Pro user I prefer this approach to one of changing something drastically just for the sake of it, and while I won't be upgrading to the iPhone 5 (my contract still has 9 months to go), I do really like what they've done with it. It's a good point - to be honest the iPhone design has become a bit of a classic, they've found a look that works so it's only really likely to be the amount of oomph inside that changes now I guess. quote:
quote: ORIGINAL: Super Hans I posted the question in Knowledge base but thought I'd try here too - should I feel confident buying a second hand iPod? Main concern is whether the battery detoriorates much over the years and whether it would be half fucked by the time I buy it. Maybe a daft concern but it's one that's put me off buying a used one before! It obviously depends on the person who's owned it before you, but yes, the battery will deteriorate after a couple of years. If the person has looked after it it shouldn't be too noticeable, but that's not something you're really going to be able to know beforehand. Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking really. My 2 year old Touch seems fine battery-wise but then having wrecked a phone years ago (admittedly when batteries were easier to wreck) by overcharging it something chronic, I've been pretty sensible with charging routines. Not sure if it's worth risking it and having to buy another one sooner due to already being on the back foot as far as the battery is concerned.
