Lesser-known Android phone makers copy look of Apple's iPhone X
I suppose I'll just be screamed at again (rolls eyes) but, of course, Apple's not the first to use that design:

However, I'm sure there's some big reason that it's okay for Apple to jump on the bezel-free bandwagon, but not for anyone else to do it after they do.

Video: iPhone X vs Note 8 - Real World Comparison after 1 month
AppleInsider said:Now that I'm used to the size the Note 8 feels huge in the hand but If you watch a lot of video its larger display provides for a great viewing experience.
and they've perfected and balanced the sound on the iPhone X which provides a massively better audio experience than the note.
Because of this, even though i prefer the much larger screen, without the annoying notch in my videos, i'd choose the iPhone X any day if using the built in speakers.
but in the past couple of years, android phones have really caught up.
I was basically forced to switch over to bluetooth headsets on the iphone and thus don't really have a need for the Note 8's headphone jack its still there because Samsung loves to give you options.
the note 8's battery drains much faster in standby.
The last software feature where I think the note excels in up on top is multi-tasking.
I've owned almost every single note phone, except the note 7, which I avoided for the obvious reasons, and with each one of those phones I used the S Pen for a few days, and then never use it again until I bought a newer Note Phone.
While the Apple ecosystem does make it tougher to use an Android phone, My personal choice is still the iPhone X even if I didn't use other Apple devices.

In-browser Mac OS 7.0.1 emulation, compatible software suite arrives at the Internet Archi...
tallest skil said:Oh, that’s right, System 7 (before 7.6.5, I think) is freely downloadable and usable. Nice piece of history here. I was going to comment on how it’s amazing that it’s possible to just emulate it like this, but then I remembered that I’ve been able to emulate Windows 95 on the first-gen iPad for years now, so it’s not that impressive.

App Store URL suggests next MacOS upgrade not version 11, Apple sticking with 10.13
repressthis said:Um, when were tech pundits speculating the next macOS update to be a major release (macOS 11) and not business-as-usual point release (macOS 10.13)? I'm certainly not expecting a major release anytime soon.
2. Apple recently dropped the "X" from Mac OS X.
3. iOS 11 is coming out soon, and bumping macOS to 11 would allow them to sync the version numbers up.
I wouldn't write this one off just yet. The next macOS, whatever it may be called, hasn't even been announced yet, so its name is likely still in flux.
