Is very soon 6 years? Because that's how long the Magsafe adapter has been in use by Apple and it's still yet to be licensed out to 3rd parties in the same way they have for the 30-pin ipod connector. Or would you trust getting yourself an unofficial magsafe adapter that has 2 stars on Amazon?…

Please don't conflate donating money to a company to investing, because I don't. To me investing in a business means they have a contractual duty to me to make sure they're doing their best to return my investment to me, and hopefully even more. This evolved store model of kickstarter is the main reason the platform…

Except without the store part the kickstarter investment is simply a moral investment, which of course has some value, but personally I would never refer to it as an investment. It's a donation. When you invest capital in a business there is more of a contractual obligation on the part of the company to deliver on the…

No he meant what if they never used MARYLOUISE to begin with? There are other comments on this article from former pawn shop employees saying they used a different word.

I saw this when it played at the Berlin Film Festival under the young adult film division where the film I worked on had its world premiere (My Suicide/Archie's Final Project) and it absolutely DESTROYED me with that ending... and I really do not cry at movies at all. I was so blindsided by it that I wore my…

HA!

Yeah, i mean i have no problems not complaining if my phone didn't have problems, I certainly didn't put up much of a fuss last time during antennagate (but I took advantage of the free case), so it's a big deal for me to take this to the store. I'll update after my appointment tomorrow.

How easily did your phone scratch? Cause mine had a small white scratch out of the box, and over the rest of the week it's gotten a bunch more, doing nothing more than sitting in my pocket and occasionally in a bike mount (where my iPhone4 sat undamaged for months)

Has anyone successfully traded their black 5 in for a new version or a white one after showing the scuffs and scratches it got after no intense use at all? The first unerasable nick on mine was actually there when I opened the box, and I let it go as an unavoidable manufacturing risk (plus how could i possibly get it…

I think not having Ant-Man in the Avengers movie really doomed this character, at least as far as adding him into the roster later. As the (otherwise excellent) Avengers cartoon series has shown, the portrayal of both Hulk and Iron-Man as super-geniuses has reduced Hank Pym's uniqueness as the resident scientist, and…

Anyone been successful at getting your iPhone5 replaced due to the scuffs it seems to be really susceptible to getting? I'm 7 days into it like many people and it's already got nicks in its black finish. At this point Id rather switch to the white one, ever since I saw it in person (not crazy about the shiny chamfer…

Is there an official explanation why the chip wasn't built into the iPhone5 (and any future apple products, since those are the only things these cables are meant to plug into anyway)? The chip is tiny and instead of being built so the cable assigns function properly the chip in the iphone can regulate what function…

There's no doubt there's some functionality other than preventing 3rd party knockoffs, but the reason people feel that way is because such functionality could easily have been built into the phone and not the cable itself. After all, the cable doesn't fit into any plug other than the iPhone5's, so a short circuit…

I didn't think it would be a problem until I spent the weekend ferrying my cable with me to my car, my office, etc and back home when before I had 5 dollar cables waiting for me at each location. I've been known to accidentally leave/misplace/forget cables before and at least before I was able to buy another one…

This guy's youtube channel has 18 million views, so especially since he's running interstitial ads at the beginning he can probably easily pay for the phone full price just from the extra ad revenue (and the extra views on his other videos and subscribers will pay off further down the line)

Thanks! I'm on AT&T, and I had some quick followup questions that I replied to the other commenter, if you had any extra input.

I'm on AT&T; the 5 will come with its own sim so I assume as soon as I activate that the sim in my 4 will stop working. Regardless I can't just pop the 5's sim into the 4 without an adapter so it sounds like I still have to go to AT&T and get a new sim. Any idea if I'd need to buy a new sim or if they could just…

I'm keeping my (a little shattered) iPhone4 as a backup phone in case anything happens to the 5. What exactly happens to my 4 when I activate the 5? Will it and its sim just stop working? If I lose or break my iPhone5 how do I go back to using the iPhone4, however temporarily?

if your money is 3d, yes.

I agree but also this:
