firefly0071 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I get cranky when I have to line up for a beer! Go to a nighclub and you will definitely queue but behind a group of 20 year old women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearmint Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I went shopping yesterday, plenty of iPhone 6's around, but no 6+, although I did get to play with both models, and decided the 6 was big enough. Went into 4 different shops until I got a deal on a couple of Apple products (it was handy Apple had a rep at the store), and all done and dusted in no time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addicted to music Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Here's a 6, heard a lot of comments at the Apple store in Chadstone; the 6+ is to big, rather the 6. Nice phone, wish I could have 1. Me think I'm a converted fanboy.... Apologies to Apple haters! Ok, having the 6 in my hot little hand, I can safely declare the iPhone 4 is a modern day brick...

valvelover Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I had a quick read of this thread: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1784043&page=3 and had to laugh at post #57 and how rude it was. That's crap support from Apple, but I already knew that they provided crap support based on extensive past experience. NO thank you Apple, I'll stick to my Samsung Galaxy S4 and AK120 II, this lad isn't an iSheeple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valvelover Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Why on earth would anyone line up for a phone? A bloody stinking phone!? Just.....why. I have a 4. It makes phone calls and takes pictures. And I can look at websites on it if I get desperate. My missus has one of those huge Samsung things, it's like a bloody ipad in size. I don't get that either. Must be an old fart. lol Jake, this made my day. Bloody awesome post mate. Right with you on your thoughts. Apple users are the most brainwashed consumer users in the world imho. They'd jump off the harbour bridge without a 2nd thought if Apple asked them to. baaa baaa baaaa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because the Geniuses are technically very good but the overall customer service is something I have not seen in any third party (or first party) repair centres from Nokia, Samsung, Motorola et al. Just pop down an Apple Store - show them the unit and chances are it will get sorted in an hour. We went down today to the local Apple Store to get my wife's iPhone 5 battery replacement done - no appointment made and it was sorted in about an hour.

My comment on Apple support was on post #56 and his story. 1) he bought the phone from AT&T and they should have been responsible to replace it as a DOA unit, since that was the place of purchase. Of course, the US has complete disdain for the consumer and SFA rights. But that's what happens when you have a government that serves business and not the people. 2) having to pay a service fee for a DOA unit is absolutely shameful. Again, that's something that wouldn't happen in Australia, because it would be illegal for a manufacturer to try that BS here. And sorry, but my experiences with Apple have been far from desirable. I'll never buy another Apple product again. That's how much I dislike the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they'd ship him a new one and asked for a credit card to hold the charge. It's normal practice - in case he doesn't ship back his DOA phone. Which is why they asked him to go back to Apple Store. Where they'd replace 1:1. No charge. As you requested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addicted to music Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Iphone 6 is a capable phone, has a good resale price (highest amongst smart phones), and is the phone of choice by young women and men. So what's the problem? 4 million sold without even demo! Definitely a phone of choice, funny enough that the Chinese are paying huge amounts to get there hands on one. Expensive, yes it is, you are only a few hundred dollars of from the bottom of the range mac book air, but you be silly enough to only get the 16gb knowing OS8 requires under 6gb to operate. However well worth the price, I can't live without one,it's an office in the palm of your hand, and it integrates well with all the other Apple devices. All the OS upgrades are free adding new features all the time. Service support is global and if you pick up any Apple device it's beautifully made, quality control is tight and nothing I know comes near it. I'm just luck, my ip4 has lasted me and is still going after 4yrs and I have not had an issue with any of my other Apple devices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iphone 6 is the phone of choice by young women and men. 4 million sold without even demo! I can't live without one any Apple device it's beautifully made All very VERY convincing reasons for paying >$1000 for about $250 worth of electronic components tucked in behind a piece of glass. Of course they sold 4 million without a demo. It's Apple. (They saved a few $$$ on not doing a huge promo run with this one as well) They could release "iPhone Mini" tomorrow with smaller screen, less features and a choice of two colours and people would kill their grandmother to get one. :lol: I'll wait until iPhone 8 is out and will pick up a 6 for $200.

Addicted to music Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 @ You getting the Apple Watch as well? I repair copiers for a living, love my job but it's future is doomed, paper usage world wide has declined and companies like Fuji Xerox had retrenched 70 personnel last year and are schedule to retrenched another 40. Ricoh/Lanier merge has just retrenched over 100 personnel during the integration and it's not looking too good. So no, I won't be getting any flash toys soon, but I can't wear a watch, I get an allergic reaction to any watch I wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
