Hi All

[Daryl]

Get a grip lads...

[DAD]

Just wondered

Get a grip lads...

I have, but Lisa is not best pleased

Good start Matty.

The company are evil. They tried to make jailbreaking illegal.

They sue other companies for reasons like "using the rectangle shape"

ITunes iTunes iTunes and locked to iTunes. What's wrong with simple drag and drop? ITunes doesn't work on Linux either not that I'd install it if it did. It's shit and makes computers slower due to adding itself and all the other shit to the startup, such as quick time.

No external memory slot on iPhone, ipad, etc

I don't think OTG works with their devices either?

Fucking difficult to repair their products due to how they're put together. Some of their laptop models have the ram SOLDERED in so you can't even upgrade it.

How fucking much do they want for an extra 32gb? Talk about marking up the price!

The company are hypocrites.

They use their own stupid video formats.

Videos have to be converted before they're able to be played on the device usually.

They claim to be leaders, something they're absolutely not.

I'll expand more when I'm back at home.

I hate their use in schools like we need our kids fucking about with macs and ipads then go home and do the same.

No money to teach kids or fix a broken wall but fuck you we'll have 200 ipads and a new ict suite and ofsted give em an outstanding.

(allegedly)

I think Geddy may agree also, but there's quite a bit of truth in that.

Which leads me onto fucking academies, what a bunch of cu...   er, I'll leave it this time.

With regards to Apple devices being introduced into schools...

...The schools do that purchasing - Apple doesn't 'impose' it on them and they could just as easily use Android devices or Windows Surface tablets and also Windows PCs.

It just goes to show, in my opinion, that Apple is far in front of the other manufacturers for both their hardware and software because the education system has chosen them over Microsoft and Google!

[Geddy]

Schools get them silly cheap but that is not the point.

Also I'm sure you can use iPhones without itunes.... I used to anyhoo.

You either like them or you do not....  but stop press  ALL COMPANIES ARE MONEY GRABBING CUNTS!

[altharic]

Lancashire schools do not get them silly cheap far from it and those same schools bleat they have no money because the heads set the budget and they have spent it all on technology instead of the school.

Bit like a chavette that has a shiny new iPhone but has to go to a food bank to eat.

"Lancashire schools do not get them silly cheap far from it and those same schools bleat they have no money because the heads set the budget and they have spent it all on technology instead of the school. "

Spot on.  Do you work in a school now Alth?

Same here over the border.

I don't work in a school but IT support for them jesus what a 'colourful' bunch they are.

They are unwilling to read, follow instructions or listen they regularly try to tell me my job and have not a fucking clue what they are on about and they are teaching our kids, in 20 years we are absolutely fucked with the knobheads teaching em now I hate to think how inept they will become.

[Geddy]

So schools do not get the 35% discount from Apple now?  Mine did when I ordered an iCooker... Food tech teacher you see, got a free iSpoon thrown in too!

[Slasher]

Apple hardware is the same these days. Comes from the same place just with a higher price tag.

Can't drag and drop songs to/from an iPhone without some other program installed

An example of shit money management for example universal free school meals come in obviously going going to cost, so instead of adjusting of the budget they still spend the money on ICT equipment and bleat they have no money.

...And that can be said for Windows Phone too because I have one now.

You can't put any music or pictures onto it unless you have software installed to import them - and actually DropBox and OneDrive can now import your music and pictures to your iOS device without the use of iTunes.

People who knock Apple I really don't mind one bit and indeed I will agree on some points - but those who don't use iOS devices, especially since the upgrade to iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite really don't understand how easy importing and exporting music, files, pictures etc really is and shouldn't really call devices if they haven't a clue about how easy syncing everything is nowadays without the need of iTunes etc.

So - like I've already said... Get a grip lads!

My mate has a windows phone. I've managed to pull videos off it without software needed in Linux and only the drivers need installing in windows
