They still use spinning disk drives! The surcharge for a now very affordable ssd is insane. Hybrid drives were excellent -three years ago.
Honestly, I was really hoping for an imac refresh. I wanted an srgb correct 24" display (the perfect size imo - 27" is a bit big, 21.5" is a bit small), a good keyboard and mouse, updated processors and ram (modern ddr4 and fucking more of it -ram is cheap) and an ssd as standard, with pci-e ssd/m.2 available as an upgrade.
As it is, the macbook pro outperforms the 21.5 inch imac thanks to having an ssd and a more recent processor architecture. Way to go, apple -photography was a big market for you but with the surface book and surface studio around...
Anyway, back to phones... I'm on the lookout as my nexus four is finally dying a bit. My girlfriend has the s5 neo and that's amazing when it's good, but typically of other Samsung phones, has go-slow moments and touchwiz is a pain.
What are the best bones android models? I was hoping for price slashes on the nexus 6p but it's a bit big and a bit thin - is it snappable?
It depends what you like; I prefer light-action, low-travel keys because I tend to spend the whole day typing and they just make my fingers ache less.
Don't make me no-true-Scotsman you.
But for 15 years now I could not do without my massive Microsoft ergonomic keyboard.
Modern equivalents are just so light and flimsy and key action just so vague.
True -but Apple could have actually undercut Microsoft massively by cutting the junk loads of people won't need.
Imagine imacs in 24 inch 4k ish resolution, colour calibrated out of the box, 16gb - 64gb ram (user upgradeable to avoid the apple shafting), a small graphics card (not for games at high res but perhaps enough to make video rendering not a pain), latest Intel processors (i5 base model, up to i7) and 256gb, 512gb and 1tb ssd options.
That would absolutely destroy sales of the surface studio as it's a good size (hopefully they'd use a nice ratio, like 3:2 or 4:3) for creating, small enough to stow away on a desk nicely and no bullshit features . It'll be a while before Apple or Microsoft equal Wacom in the graphics tablet pen requirements, so don't beat it -reduce costs to give a great base system for folk to plug the wacom they already have into it.
Pure fantasy though.
They could even have a 27 inch version imac pro -bigger, workstation graphics and i7 6800 processors with a pci-e hard drive. Expensive, but videographers would lap it up.

Saying that I have been looking at the One Plus Three recently. Mmmm.
ive been an iPhone user for years but as of now I'm able to upgrade. I've been looking at the Samsung 7 Edge as an upgrade. Yes, I know it's a big phone but my main issue is that I have spent hundreds on ITunes and i don't know if this is lost money if I move away from the apple brand.
Does anyone know if this is right?
HTC One X - First Smartphone.
HTC One M7 - I dropped the One X.
OnePlus One - The One M7 was stolen from our Villa in Lanzarote.
Oppo F1 Plus - I left my OnePlus in a Taxi in Malaysia.
iPhone 5s - Dad's Old Phone, used while waiting for a OnePlus Invite.
iPod Touch 3rd Gen - First Smart Device while I still had a Dumb Phone.
iPad Mini 1st Gen - Won free in a competition.
Asus Transformer Prime - Bought this as a replacement for the iPod Touch when it died.
Nexus 7 2nd Gen - Also won free in a seperate competition the same week I won the iPad.
I find that iOS is a lot better on a tablet than Android, but for a phone I have to have Android.
That said, the way apps are now able to pass files between them, plus the way iCloud Drive now shows up as its own app seem to cater for any of the things I can think of.
actually now I think about it there is one thing I rely on an app (rather than the OS) for and that is using the 'Documents 5' 3rd party app to download YouTube videos (e.g. that Pedal Show) to iPad to watch on the train.
If not just get an iPhone 6 - or a Plus if you want a big one - quick, before they stop making a decent phone with a headphone jack.

DoubleTwist seems to be the way forward, if you have a PC handy.
I could add a headhone port to the iPhone 7 as it's the first one that's stereo and the speaker contacts are quite large and easy to make a circuit on .... just a case of wire the 3.5mm switched contacts in series with the speaker so inserting headphones would kill the speakers and tap the common ground and left \ right
