[ckohler]

why dont u prove it by showing past stock trends, face it, this was not as good of a conference as it was hyped to be.

Than *who* hyped it to be? The rabid rumor bots?

 

[SentientStone]

Available at Rogers and Fido in Canada, good good, maybe I won't have to break my Fido contract after all. (rock)

 

[CrunchinJelly]

 

[Danj]

If there's a PAYG version I'm buying that on release.

This would be nice but I can't see it happening, the best phones are always contract-only.

 

[vitaflo]

oh shit lolz. apple stocks just nosedived after the conference, there below 10$

Apple stock takes a nosedive after every keynote. Easiest way to make quick cash, short apple stock the day of a keynote.

 

[LM4sure]

you're annoying

umm....thanks?

 

[ThePoisonNinja]

Does anyone know if I can extend my contract again even if I just extended it in January?

 

[methodman]

I think you can, that's probably what I'll have to do when I go get mine.

 

[Seth C]

So, anyone have experience on what it would cost to add an iPhone to an already existing family plan?

Nevermind. It looks like it should just be an additional $20 for the iPhone data plan (plus extending the contract by 2 years of course).

 

[Struct09]

I already have an iPod Touch, and I have AT&T for cell phone service, but damnit a $200 iPhone (with GPS?!) is tempting.

 

[Copycat_Wannabe]

What's left in this conference? Snow Leopard and?
When will they show Snow Leopard?

 

[Costanza]

So, anyone have experience on what it would cost to add an iPhone to an already existing family plan?

20 bucks more a month right now. I don't know if 3G will change that.

 

[artredis1980]

best thing is for you guys to get it from china where they will have a huge black market for it and then put it in your t-mobile phones

 

[dskillzhtown]

Next move....Sprint.

What will they price the Instinct at?

What will they do for current customers to get them to stay?

I am definitely going to jump ship if they don't play ball.

 

[Killthee]

Website is up.

Ad is up.

 

[shantyman]

Same price as any phone with the $20 data tacked on.

 

[Matix]

Thanky

 

[clav]

So can the iPhone 2 work on other networks like T-Mobile?

 

[Karish]

Will we see a drop in ipod touch prices?

 

[biggkidd32]

July 11th for our friends in Japan as well. Not bad.

 

[bionic77]

Ok so how much is the unlimited 3G data plan going to cost?

As of right now you don't pay extra for 3G.

Don't know if they plan on charging extra for the iPhone. Their coverage is spotty outside of cities anyways so I don't know how useful it will be traveling.

 

[shantyman]

What's left in this conference? Snow Leopard and?
When will they show Snow Leopard?

After Lunch.

 

[ToyMachine228]

$199 iPhone? Hmmm, that makes me actually consider it. Is this the only big announcement coming from this conference? Sorry haven't read the whole thing.

 

[Mr.Squirrel]

Is the app store coming out before the new phone? and no mms support either huh

Spoiler

swirlymms kinda sucks

edit: no video recording either? come on apple!

 

[xBerserker]

Same boat here. I'm also curious about the google andriod os phones.

Next move....Sprint.

I am definitely going to jump ship if they don't play ball.

 

[Fatalah]

What an amazing price when you compare it to the launch prices last year!

Additionally, Apple's competitors are going to have to step up their game. Who'll want to buy a Motorola Rzor for $179 now? Or a Venus? Or anything else!

I'll feel like a real boob buying another phone with less capabilities than the iPhone for that price.

 

[devildog820]

Was that Robert Downey Jr.'s voice in the commercial?

 

[Copycat_Wannabe]

I was hoping they would show some other stuff but i'm blown away by iPhone 2.
So, when will they be back from lunch? =)

 

[yoursisterspretty]

All I know is that, I'm not buying another one if I have to continually renew my contract. I'm just 9 months into a new 2 year that I had to sign because I wanted an iPhone. I hate contracts. Unless they give me a break and don't make me sign a new one its no 3G for me.

I'm also somewhat disappointed in the lack of the 3G-iPhone camera upgrades. But whatever...

 

[Nintaiyo]

I heard rumors that Apple was going to announce a new Macbook sometime in June. Are there any more events coming up anytime soon? If I'm going to buy a Macbook for school in the fall, should I just buy one now?

I'd totally wait. Unless you're wanting one now, there's a chance there will be a performance upgrade at least by then.

It sounds like the Apps will need Fw 2.0 (July 15 release date).

They won't. But you are only 9 months in, so you will only really be extending your contract by 9 month. That isn't so bad is it? Better than being a year in to another provider's contract like I am right now.

Think about that you just said.

boo, that sucks. oh well. hopefully with the sdk apps will be a lot more stable. a lot of the must haves on installer (including isolitaire and swirly) crash too damn frequently for my taste.

it's likely that they're clearing out stock of the MB and MBP with the Back to School promotion and will have new models later on. but, you get a free iPod Touch if you order now...

Cause them shits are useless now!

Mobile Me sounds pretty cool. Just watched the video on apple.com. The web browser apps are impressive.

Well, you wanted to be the early adopter of the iPhone.

That's your fault.

For those 9 months, that was probably worth it. At least you thought it was.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Apple have got all the regional press releases but no prices in any of them other than US.

>_<

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

Rubbish.

 

[Geoff9920]

So are monthly plans still this same or have they changed those?

 

[yoursisterspretty]

Oh absolutely. Totally worth it. I just know that I'll be in the same boat this time next year with the next upgrade. So I guess I'm just going to sit out this upgrade since there's no 3G where I'm at anyway. So that's my problem with it. If you went with every upgrade you'd be in a super huge contract. Maybe I'm mistaken, but wouldn't it just tack on every time? So if I had 15 months left it would be 15+24 months if I signed a new one?

 

[infiniteloop]

There's an OS X State of the Union at 2pm ... 10.6 then?

 

[Danj]

We gonna get raped ripped off.

I bet when they said "$199 global price" they end up just crossing out the $ and writing £ for the UK like they always do.

 

[TheWolf]

so does it do MMS now?

 

[CrunchinJelly]

We gonna get raped ripped off.

I bet when they said "$199 global price" they end up just crossing out the $ and writing £ for the UK like they always do.

I would still buy one at £199, though. I think the little things that are missing (MMS, shit camera, video, video calling etc.) are all outweighed by Apple's genius UI design and the features. Their operating system is a million miles ahead of Windows Mobile, Symbian and UIQ. And this is coming from a UIQ fanboy!

Just looks like we have to wait for O2 to drop the bombshell.

 

[Fallout-NL]

But we don't know the monthly pricetag that'll come with. Don't think it ll be $199 clean.

 

[Thraktor]

Maybe I'm mistaken, but wouldn't it just tack on every time? So if I had 15 months left it would be 15+24 months if I signed a new one?

I'm pretty sure when you upgrade it just extends it to 24 months from the upgrade date.
