The phones are not 2017 "flagship" caliber. Yet they went up $50 on their base model. They have horrifically large bezels that I was complaining about last year. It's really uncomfortable on the Plus models. They've been rumored to go to OLED for ye…

MacPro said: No in depth rebuttal in defense of Google so far. Gatorguy must have the night off. To be honest AR is dull. I've seen the early stuff, and some of the popular games. I don't know why people and DED lose their minds over Goo…

Sounds to me like Google and Apple are playing to their strengths. The interesting question is if Apple's hardware advantage continues to be meaningful in 5 years. That's not being antagonistic towards the iPhone, as I think iPhones right now are in…

I don't get what they mean by consumer choice. The latest iteration of advertising in the social media age has its hooks so deep into consumer interactions it's beyond disturbing. Company's tried to curtail this with "Do Not Track" options in browse…

The only action you need to take is to delete the app, get something else and leave a 1 star review. I usually use Dark Sky and Accuweather but I dumped it for WeatherBug Elite and it's as simple as that.

Not the worst internet TV service in existence. Has great picture quality with 60fps support on TV streamers. Good for sports and watching CNN tickers smoothly scroll by. No DVR and On-Demand is really bad however. Still way better than Sling TV. T…

Siri's largest issue is Bing. Every A.I. Assistant not named Google uses Bing. Search is the life blood of A.I. Especially A.I. that will become more conversational and informative. This is such a fast moving piece of technology that is changing the…

From what i've seen, I'm impressed with Apple's direction with this. They decided to focus on one thing and engineer the hell out of it. I think by positioning this as a high end speaker first, they've acknowledged a few shortcomings with Siri, and …

iPhone 8 really needs AMOLED and less bezels. It would be super disappointing if they once again kept a similar design. They would likely starting losing sales to Samsung. They don't need to increase pixel density though. Apple has that right with …

services like Flipboard, Apple News and Google News are addictive and I do use them, but they have contributed to the saturation and watering down of how we consume news. I don't claim to know the business aspects of this decision, but I do feel fro…

I bought two Echos last year. They are often one of the most used tech products in the apartment, simply because they do useful things like control lights, set kitchen timers and play music. The importance is that Echo is a complete product, with a …

Seems likely this is implemented to achieve parity with the eventual Android counterpart (The version most at risk) and nothing to do with iOS specifically. Persistent server connections are not unheard of in mobile gaming, so I don't know why this …

I know Trump is at least making the attempt to appear that he means well, and go to bat for American workers, but what has been explained many times over by people here and everywhere is that globalism isn't going to be reversed at this point. There…

As long as you clear a certain threshold in the audio source, headphones/speakers are what makes or breaks your audio experience. Pono was nonsense for the most part, even if it did spark an important discussion about audio quality. DACs are an inte…

I'm not entirely convinced it's going to help Apple, considering how hard it is to get your hands on an iPhone 7 Plus right now. Google Pixel XL? Good chance they'll get a hefty sales boost.
