I just did the upgrade to Lion last week in prep for the phone so the OS's could chat with each other. Something not highly publicized is that if you want it (the phone) to play nice with iPhoto that has to be upgraded also, not very expensive either, but a consideration.

For cloud storage I spread things around a bit not wanting all of my eggs in one basket. A combination of Dropbox, Evernote, Google docs, and now iCloud, seems to cover my needs without going out of pocket.

And yes, my phone is much smarter than I am.

Well, for this mornings time changeover my mac rolled back an hour as it should, but the phone went back two hours.

ButchEire · 11-08-2011, 12:36 PM

That is why I never push my machines past their native install. Well, unless you count Linux on a Windows crapper. Ok, well, and jailbreaking, but that's it. I think.

I want Siri. It's true.
I also want the Kindle Fire.
I am a geek and proud of it.

I was eligible for an upgrade and so I caved and got the 4s. Siri is loads of fun! We asked her where to burry a dead body and she came up with three nearby cemetaries. We also asked her how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. (omg) she replied with, "why do people keep asking me that?" lol.

It comes with iCloud already installed, which was super useful, but the battery only lasts for about 26 hours and that's without any apps open. Otherwise I am loving it!!

Apple's announced that they will be sending out an update to address the iOS 5 battery drain.

They should have got it right before releasing the update...daft Apple.

I was notified a few days ago that the second beta 5.1 was sent to the developers....and about time too!

ruby_woo · 11-08-2011, 12:57 PM

I think I'm going to cave soon and get the 4s. I'm still on the 3g, and it's driving me up the wall. The music screen keeps freezing, and I'm having to reboot my phone at least once a day, usually while on the bus at 7:30am while trying to balance my phone, coffee, umbrella, and purse while not falling over. Ack.

siri provides hours (ok minutes) of entertainment while waiting or simply to impress those around...

Oh, excellent! I loved not having to charge my 4g all the time. I ended up getting a car charger since I drive so much these days.

ButchEire · 11-08-2011, 01:07 PM

Ah, great, one of my exes as a computer generated voice.

I just turned off icloud because of the battery drain, besides I don't need it.

11-08-2011, 01:25 PM

iCloud doesn't have big enough free capacity. My iPod is backed up to my iMac...and external drives for stuff. I don't feel I need iCloud at this point in time.

Who knows, I may use it in future. S'unlikely though.

Novelafemme · 11-08-2011, 01:27 PM

One of my students said that iCloud crashed last week and caused a major problem for many iPhone users. Same thing with Siri. Over 4 million users were trying to use her at the same time.

ruffryder · 11-08-2011, 01:32 PM

Cool apple thoughts here. woohooo! I want to get an iphone real soon. Which should I go with the 4 or 4 s .. and what apps or upgrades should I definitely get for it??

siri sounds like soo much fun!!

I HEART

Have loved the apple computers I've had in the past and also my ipod classic and itunes!!

Anybody use a car adapter for their ipods. I've had a couple different ones but they haven't really worked well.

11-08-2011, 01:34 PM

Wait 'til next year for the 5 which is what they should have been releasing this year but had trouble getting all the gubbins in an even slimmer casing without it overheating badly.

Well I had to pay a small upgrade fee but I just got the 4, I LOVE IT!!!! I have yet to see what the big diff is between the 4 and 4s. But for 99.00 I will take the iphone4. Infact, we went back and got two more

We are finding tons of great apps which of course can be used on any iphone. It is just simply fun. I have no idea what is in store with iphone5.

I use a USB adapter and just plug into the car for that.

ButchEire · 11-08-2011, 01:38 PM

I agree, let them work out the bugs first.

Hi Ruffy,

I use an adapter with my iphone since my ipod tunes are all on it. I also like to listen to pandora so it works nicely. Do you want me to look and see what kind of adaptor it is?

I would recommend the 4s since it's so much faster and has a ton to offer. And of course you get Siri.

Your app choices are so vast it's hard to recommend something without knowing all your likes and dislikes. I have tons of games on mine since my girls are always playing them on the way to school. I also have food apps, art apps and science apps. I'm a bit app happy at times!

Do you have an Apple store nearby? It's nice to go in and chat up a family room rep so they can help you pick out what would work best for you!
