I remember the heady days when you used a phone to actually ring someone - and a watch to tell the time!

I remember being so excited about my watch which was also a calculator

[joggerjayne]

In a month when 100 celebs have intimate photos stolen from their iPhones (because the iCloud automatically backed them up) ...

and it turns out that this was just a tiny part of a massive hacking campaign over which Apple seem completely powerless ...

Apple announce that there new device will contain mobile payment technology ...

And people STILL want to buy one ???

Unbelievable.

The ad should just say ...

Buy the new i device and kiss goodbye to your money and your security.

I can't remember the last time I used my iPhone.

[joggerjayne]

"their"

[ummmm]

Really Andy?

[hc4361]

Who's Andy?

I see there is an iphone 6 due out soon too , do they have to keep churning these things out? makes me wonder if they are still trying to get it right! i for one wouldnt have any apple products at all apart from the ones that come off the trrees!! but each to their own i guess

[joggerjayne]

The Apple design team meetings must be great.

We don't have to worry about improving our product, because we know that most people with an iPhone 4 will probably buy a 5.

They won't wait for the 6. They will buy a 5, AND then a 6.

So, instead of putting all our new ideas into one phone, let's put a few into the 5, sell the 5, and then put the rest into the 6, and sell the 6.

The SAME people will buy BOTH phones!

And it doesn't matter if the latest ideas are really childish gimmicks, like a GPS function that records where you take each photo (in case you can't work it out for yourself, even though you took the photo) ...

I wonder where I took this photo of Brighton Pier ... I don't know, I'll check my iPhone GPS ... oh hey, it was in Brighton.

Shall we make the charger connection the same as the existing one? Don't be silly. We want our stupid customers to have to buy new ones.

We could make the phone the same size, so at least they can reuse their existing cases. Don't be silly. We want our stupid customers to have to buy new ones.

We could at least make the SIM card slot the same size. Don't be silly. Nothing on our new model is to be compatible with the old one.

What about the fact that Samsung and HTC etc are making fun of us because our technology is so far behind?

Who cares! If we launch a new model, with a new number, everybody will buy one.

I was meaning to ask about that. Why do we just give each of our models a consecutive number, instead of having model names!

It's so that customers will feel embarrassed if their phone doesn't have the current number. Even if they are perfectly happy with their phones, they will want to update them.

So will our customers be happy with the 6?

Nope. They will just be waiting for the 7, so that they can get rid of their 6.

Excellent. Meeting adjourned.

Cynical......but true......

[joggerjayne]

Oh, one last thing, guys. I have a great idea. How about launching a model with toughened glass, like Samsung and Nokia, so that iPhones don't get broken so easily?

You're fired!

[gingejbee]

jj...excellent, and so true....you obviously have inside information.

[hc4361]

Don't forget the battery. We all know battery life is carp so why not have an easily removable battery so a charged spare can be used?

You want an apple? Try this one on for size. Its just down the highway from me. https://www.google.ca/search?q=the+big+apple+ontario&;client=firefox-a&;hs=PXO&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=np&tbm=isch&imgil=uxK4IG8e1RC4PM%253A%253BI89RGoR7NJPDPM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Floughbreezebay.com%25252Fthe-big-apple-2%25252F&source=iu&fir=uxK4IG8e1RC4PM%253A%252CI89RGoR7NJPDPM%252C_&usg=__kpuo_3bXLuoZha4wXv5eTAo9FFI%3D&;sa=X&ei=qEkQVMzPCcmxyATh6oHoCA&ved=0CEQQ9QEwBA&biw=1024&bih=639#facrc=_&imgdii=_&;imgrc=uxK4IG8e1RC4PM%253A%3BI89RGoR7NJPDPM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Floughbreezebay.com%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252FDSC_0597.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Floughbreezebay.com%252Fthe-big-apple-2%252F%3B1024%3B799

that'd certainly build up the biceps in your wrists, stuey

[stuey]

Looks more like a tomato to me
