Photo smackdown: iPhone XS Max versus Samsung's Galaxy Note 9
iPhone's HDR highlight protection really blows away Samsung but it appears that Samsung's low light capabilities slightly edge out iPhone in all of the other examples. Contrast appears to be slightly higher on Samsung while Apple's color saturation is slightly higher but since those two things are different sides of the same coin, it's a bit of a wash if not altogether entirely subjective. Also, Apple's skin softening is too aggressive and reminds me of Samsung's past skin softening treatments. Other than that, both great cameras so no need to compare cameras ad nauseum. Will this be the last smartphone camera shootout? I wish but no, not by a long shot. -
AirPods 2.0 -- What we expect & what we hope to see
EdmontonGuy said:The shape and rigidity hurt my ears and like the standard set included with the iPhone, i threw them out. My hope is that new earbuds from Apple will see the introduction of soft silicon type in-ear buds like some of the competition. I am using a competitors now - and happy, but wish Apple would produce something for people who don’t like the fit, feel or rigidity of the the current Apple products. -

iPhone > 3G > 4 > 4S > 5 > 5S > 6 > 6S & SE > 7 > 8 & 10 > 9 & 10S.
Since the 8 & the 10/X had the same internals, are they really going to release an "iPhone 9" that's more powerful than the "iPhone 10"?!
Possibly, but so what? Has nothing to do with how powerful it is. Marketing looks at things from a visual (external) POV. iPhone X was a fairly huge jump from the classic design of the iPhone 7. The iPhone 8 was mainly a change in materials, moving to a glass back. The iPhone 9 design will be more transitional. Something between the 8 and X; No Home button, but no notch either. Shorter bezels - just big enough for the top bezel to contain True Depth camera. -

Apple Music overtakes Spotify in U.S. subscriber counts
nunzy said:What would happen if Apple banned Spotify from all of its devices?They might lose a couple of device sales, but probably not many. Apple has the ability. But do they have the nerve?
