Apple Products, iOS Updates and iPhone Discussions

Apparently Apple is going to announce the Iphone 8 real soon. From what the guy on the radio said, the base model starts at $1,000 and goes up from there. I remember when $200 for  smart phone was a lot.I also remember when people bitched about the Iphone when it came out being $400, now were up to $1,000.

This also means that they are segregating iphone users even more, like when the 5C came out, then the + models.  Now we will tell elite users by their fancy iPhone 8 compared to the peasant 7S model (or whatever they will call it).  It also means my future company phone upgrade will have to be the lesser model.

I'm still hanging onto my iPhone 6, which works good.  In fact, I wish I could downgrade to iOS 9 features plus current security updates.  The new 11 will have so many built in things that the earlier versions can't handle.  And I still want my regular headphone jack.

I saw a little feature this morning about this on CNBC. People in China like this. They aren't able to have big mansions like people over here so one of the only ways to show off their wealth is to have the most expensive gadgets. A $500 phone is garbage to them, they want the $1,000 model. The phones are a status symbol.

 
So I was out of the office most of the day yesterday, but I see they came out with two new versions. The Iphone 8 and the Iphone 8. Iphone 8 is basically a 7s or 7. The X is pretty cool though. But dat price doe.

 
I don't know, maybe a good old Motorola Razr...

Sure I want the X but I don't know. So expensive and basically a "test" phone so next year it can be improved upon. Could stay safe and go with 8 plus but that's old tech.

Was almost thinking switching to an Android but I have too much into the Apple system with my settings, apps and know how to use.

I'll bump this when you get one, because I know you.

Don't bother, I went through this already and it cost me $200 extra, you can't go backwards. Maybe a Windows phone might be right for you?I will be due for an upgrade soon, I'll probably just go with an 8.

Windows phone? Didn't they go the way of the Zune? As in dead!

 
Kathy had the plus, way to big, if I want an Ipad in my pocket, I'll buy an Ipad.

I use mine a lot, much like an ipad. So it makes since for me to go in that direction.

 
You have a plus?

Get bigger hands then. Once you go plus you don't go back. Such a nice screen compared to the smaller ones. I will admit though yeah it's not a one hander... Like if you need to try and use your thumb to reach the other side it's not happening.
