I can't get over those ugly lines....

Yeah. The lines are a no-go.

How often do y'all look at the back of your iPhone?

I don't want my apps to run in The Cloud. I prefer native apps.

I'd hope for both.

128gb seems excessive, especially with Apple's new storage plans, and the various other cloud storage options. There can't be a massive demand for that much storage.

Too bad those hundred MB apps can't be ran from the cloud.

If you're already using an iPhone 5 on SERO, you won't have to change a thing. You will already have the $10 premium data on it. Greetings, my SERO brethren. *handshake*

 

If we're ever kicked off this wonderful plan, there is a $60 unlimited individual plan now, so that'd be the next logical step.

I just heard about that.  I pay $59.99 for 500 min/unlim txt/unlim data now, so I'll probably switch to that unless there's some reason I don't know about.  I don't need unlimited minutes, but whatever.

If I stick with SERO, will I be able to get a subsidized iPhone instead of Easy Pay, or does Sprint not do subsidies anymore?

If I'm on a SERO plan what do I need to do to upgrade when the iPhone 6 is released? Will I be able to keep my current unlimited data plan?

Oops wrong forum

Anyone else having issues with iCloud asking for sign in info over and over and over again. I logged out and then logged back in. Changed my password. Checked all the settings to make sure it looked right and nearly every time I unlock my phone it asks for my password again.

Edit. This is on an iPhone 5s with beta 5 installed.

I'm not on the beta, but when I had that on iOS 6 I fixed it by signing out of iCloud and back in.

I just can't bring myself you use iOS though. I have a brand new iPad mini retina on my nightstand that I used once or twice since I won it at work. I'm contemplating putting it up for sale.

 

What's so great about iOS that millions of people go nuts every time a new device is released?

It's ok if you don't like it.  Different strokes for different folks.

80 million units. I guess they could swallow an extra few bucks on production costs for a sapphire screen. It would be a KILLER feature that sets it apart from all of the competition. You can waterproof my phone, but I don't bring my electronics near water as it is. Give me a phone that has a near unbreakable and unscratchable screen..... I'll take that over waterproof any day. Wonder what will happen to applecare? I'll still get it, but just curious if less people will purchase applecare.

I would love to see an "iPhone Active" that was waterproof.  Would buy that in a second.

Oh please please please.  My iPhone 5 has a battery that lasts less than two hours nowadays.  Just holding out for the new 6.

I see that SMS Relay is now in the latest beta.  Has anyone tested it yet?  Does it also work between an iPad and an iPhone, or only with an iPhone and Yosemite?

Ya know...With all the crappy concepts of the iPhone 6 around and the typical camera upgrades, processor upgrades, and screen size/ PPI...I never thought for a second to even think about the partnership with IBM and what it could mean for Siri....

If Siri and Watson became one in the same, Siri would finally be more useful and....absolutely freaking amazing. We could start to see a true learning AI in our smart phones. I disagree with the article calling siri the dumb blonde. I use siri all the time, as long as I have service, and find her quite useful. 

Yeah I find Siri really useful.  Love the WolframAlpha integration that's already there.  I do quick conversion with it, like how many ounces are in 12 tablespoons, and what are the prime factors of a number. It's also handy for setting a quick countdown timer or alarm for the morning.

Hey Josh, is everything still quiet on the FCC front with the approval of the phone?

That won't get posted until the day of the official Apple announcement.  

Rootmetrics released a pretty big update.  It now uses fasted speed instead of average when displaying its color hexes.  You can still see the average speed if you drop a pin and look at the details. 

It also has a new setting for "Best Technology found." This differentiates between 2G/3G, 3G+ and 4G.

Yea it will eventually get fixed.

 

I don't like how the podcast app is a default app now. I have so many apps in a junk folder and iOS 8 added two more.

I'm not crazy about getting that either when the final version comes out.  I prefer Downcast for my podcasting needs.

Had to force the update, but my iPhone 5 is at 51101 now.

Got around to watching the keynote.  The Continuity thing looks to be a fantastic feature.  I hate having to go check my iPhone across the room when I get an SMS message, and now I'll be able to reply to those messages from my iPad or desktop Mac.

Phone calls could be useful too, but I'll have to wait to see how well speakerphone works first.

Switching among your devices while writing an email or working on a document and seamlessly continue your work will be useful as well. 

Finally apps can share data and work on the same file.

Overall I was pretty satisfied with the upcoming features of iOS and Mac OS X.  Added features that competitors had that were really needed and some new features to keep them on their toes.

I'm excited about the third party keyboards.  Swype and SwiftKey were the only two apps I missed from my Android days.Hopefully both make the move over to iOS.

Edit: Swiftkey already announced: http://www.imore.com/swiftkey-keyboard-will-be-coming-ios-8

Lots of behind the scenes improvements, and tighter integration between iOS and Mac OS X especially on the iCloud side.  Looking forward to the fall.  

Hoping that they also update iMacs and/or Mac mini today so I can replace my seven year old iMac. They won't update the iPhone because developers haven't updated their apps for iOS8 yet.

Also hoping for Mac OS X Siri support and icon change support on iOS.

The iPhone 3GS was launched in June, as well as the 4 on AT&T, they changed to the September cycle for the 4S.

 

As for you getting into WWDC, sorry to hear the lotto bumped you out. I would love to go, but don't have $1,500 just lying around to throw away at such an awesome event.

Years ago before it was selling out, I convinced my then employer to send me to a WWDC. Was great, and I got to see The Wallflowers play at Apple HQ one evening.

I hope it's sooner rather than later.  My iPhone 5 batter is not what it used to be.

My problems only occur coming out of a locked screen. It's really strange.

 

Also, do you think they replace lightning cables free of charge? I have 3 or 4 of them that are bad.

If not, monoprice.com is where I get my lightning cables.

"Sprint is working to ensure that all devices developed and launched on or after February 11, 2015 are capable of being unlocked domestically."

Looks like it will apply to both iPhones and other mobile devices.

I tried out fire chat, the tech seems cool but that global chat...

Apple releases TD-LTE tablets in China.

No word on frequency bands in the press release.
