My choice though fella.
We are all different and I just don't like iTunes.

Although I am basing my experience on using it around 5 years ago when loading songs onto my wifes iPod Shuffle (yes, we do own one Apple product!).
May be it has changed for the better, but I found it a pig to use back then on my Window Vista laptop.

And what is this I hear about the camera 'rattling' on the 4s and 5?


I'll be honest with you, with the apparent issues with finish and build quality, I am not convinced. I will use a cover as it is just silly not to with a product that costs so much to replace, but surely, there shouldn't be this many issues?

No it hasn't improved that much, its still a non-intuitive pain in the ****.

PeteBrant

Oh my god lol. If you get the phone, right, and then shake it about, and hold it to your ear, you hear a little rattle where the metal buttons are shaking in their seating and tapping against the metal body. The 4 does it as well.

The way I cured it was to not shake the phone around and all of the sudden it ceased to be a concern.

The build quality of 5's is second to none, and by that, I mean no phone even comes close.

I didnt use a cover with my 4 and I wont use one with this - why would you spoil the look? By all means have a sock thingy.

Presumably its anodized alouminum?

Otherwise it'll get that nasty oxidation rendering it less than appealing certainly

Considering you could have bought yourself a 60 inch plasma for the same money.

JackClark

60" plasma won't help much in a hostage situation.

Nor will an iphone if the hostage taker is an android owner.

JackClark

Some more clearly made up testing that doesn't use the full capability of the Galaxy.

60" plasma is a big of a bugger to carry around with you too

dpb

What, you throw them the iphone and they let you go?




What a poor deal that would be

So is iTunes still as **** as it was 5 years ago?
And what is the latest on 'scuffgate' Jack? Have they narrowed it down to a particular batch?

JackClark

No idea. I pretty much ignore anything with gate in it, sensationalism in the most part.

iTunes hasn't ever been **** for me, thats Windows and Mac. What exactly is ****?

The all important 'experience'.

Ant

Never had problems when using iTunes on windows.

9/10 is user error

An0n0m0us

Well devices dropping out of itunes for wireless sync isn't user error.

Ant

I don't use wireless sync, it's slow and tedious

JackClark

Network error?

Gear Head

iTrader: (2)

You may well be right.
The fact that I made an error at all does not make me think, 'Wow! What a great piece of software!'

Ant

Just get a iPhone Chris and believe the hype

Gigsy

I do. Works fine for me - syncs over night. Job done.

Gigsy

Agreed. I still have some of the koolaid left over from SJ's wake he can drink

Ant

That's all good if you leave your computer on , which I don't.

I use sync for contacts and calendars but for actual music and app transfers I do it hard wired. A lot quicker

Gigsy

Leave it on then... this planet won't warm up on it's own

An0n0m0us

Err no. I'm an IT engineer and know what i'm doing thanks. The devices stay connected in mac itunes fine, in Windows itunes the very same devices on the same network don't stay connected. I raised this on here when the feature became available and other Windows users confirmed the same issues with wireless sync dropping the devices randomly.

You mean believe 'your' hype. Everyone I speak to who has an iPhone 4/4s are not as complimentry about the product as you and Jack.

DARB

That actually made me chuckle a little

Jesuz christ before now iv been happy simply to ridicule these people but that's just quite sad, if it's not fake

Ant

Where have I hyped the iphone or said its the best on the market?

I don't hype it up, to be honest I don't give poo if someone buys a iPhone or a android device

I like to talk to other people about apple products without the usual suspects adding nothing to the thread apart from negativity
