I'd rather spend that on a set of wheels for my Z4. :rofl:
Almost exactly this, but I'd just refurb mine and get a carbon intake :lol:

I have a 5S hand-me-down as a personal phone and a 6 from/for work. Both do me just fine during the day as I have an iPad Air -or a laptop - for stationary time. A grand for a phone is just ridiculous.

You're way too flash for me Bing!

I have a Samsung C3050 that I bought in 2010 for £30 from Tesco on a PAYG deal! :rofl:

It makes and takes calls, has voicemail, can handle texts so does all I need! :oops:

I had to buy a new laptop this year - got a Dell Inspiron 15 for about one third of the cost of this new iPhone.

Is it really that good? :lol:

How do you get updates for the phone or sync it with iTunes as I haven't been able to update any older iPhones for a long time, if I connect my 3 to iTunes it just says its an old version and won't sync.

Tim.

This is why I gave up on my 3GS last year, no updates and more and more apps wouldn't work. I now have an SE which does the job for me.

...but Samsung have been using screens like this for years and are going to be supplying Apple with the screens for the iPhone X. Even the old Galaxy S6 & S7 were 575+ PPI so Apple is playing catch-up and hasn't even bettered 3-year old tech... they've really lost their way since Steve Jobs died...
Ye but I wouldn't buy a Samsung so its nice that the iPhone finally gets it. But completely agree as a designer and photographer they have pretty much left me in the dust. Use a windows 10 machine at work now which I actually quite enjoy using. All my personal stuff is Apple and prefer IOS and love mac OS.

Im using an old Mac pro 2010 with a hex core 3.33 upgrade 48gb or ram and a 512 NVME SSD. Its still chugging along fine, the creative apps are my issue really lightroom runs so badly on any machine that the performance difference is non existant and it still produces video at a decent rate for the amount I edit. I can also have 6 drives inside unlike the trash can where I would need to spend £500-1000 for an enclosure to put the drives in. Would love it if they could sort themselves out but its obviously not a priority... see what the imac pro and new mac pro brings. No doubt it will be 3-12k so that will be me out would rather get another Z4M :driving:

I'll be getting it, but my phone is personal and work and I don't pay for it. The MD ok'd me to go and get it once it's out.

Thanks for the replies everyone :thumbsup:

I was about to order an Eve Degree Thermostat the other day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDa5XGPKong&t=29s then realised it only works with the iPhone :( which slightly annoyed me.

I do wonder though that people will pay any amount because its Apple over whether its actually any good, will see,

You'd hope to be taken on holiday when you select 'Airplane Mode' at that price.

The 8 will do me fine I think.

So I've handed back my work phone (but kept the SIM) and bought a OnePlus 5 - it's dual-SIM so I just have one phone to carry... lovely... :)
I have a Oneplus 5 too, it's incredibly quick to use, from app speed to charging and well priced. Apple is the sheep's choice and I can't stand just having a grid of apps. Customisable home screen ftw.

Yes the 8 isn't cheap as chips either and why I went with Hauwei although its taken me 4 months harranging Barclays to sort their banking app out so it works on Hauwei phones which has been a right pain :thankfully sorted now.

So if I don't order an 8 when I ring Vodafone tomorrow, what do I buy?

Had a play on the S8 - average.

What else? Nothing is jumping out at me.
