The article makes no mention of ‘scratches’. This is the big problem with making glass flexible. If it is soft enough to bend to a tight radius it will scratch far more easily than the screens we currently have.

1) Apple has had these foldable displays in their R&D labs for years and Samsung is not the only company to make them. 2) The major reason for not putting a foldable device on the market (besides the supply constraint for the huge Apple product…

“Most recently, Qualcomm won two key rulings in China and Germany, where courts issued a sales ban on certain iPhone models for infringing on Qualcomm patents” In Germany, there was an initial hearing during which Qualcomm’s lawyers blocked Apple f…

I’m really enjoying my XR. Battery still at 90% at the end of my work day! Better battery life than all the current flagships and best of any iPhone ever. Less bezel than on any other LCD on the market. Only LCD to have no chin. Display has highe…

It’s probably worth pointing out that this so called “soft” guidance actually represents a new record high in revenue - despite the fact that this Q1 does not have a flagship iPhone launch like the previous record set last year.

You write: For a start, the resolution of 1,792 by 828 pixels is a lot lower than the Super Retina versions in the XS and Max. This also brings the pixel density down to 326 pixels per inch versus the 458ppi of the other two variants, which may seem…

Really enjoying HomePod. We recently moved and have a very echoey main room because it is almost empty, has tiled (hard) floor and high vaulted ceiling. Voices echo a lot! It is simply amazing that HomePod is able to play with zero echo!

The XR has taken heat for not having a high resolution display. Yet these are the facts:XR has 4,451,328 sub pixels XS has 4,111,968 This is because the OLEDs are pentile and define pixels differently. Each pixel on the XR can independently disp…

The only data is shipping delays. These suggest depleted inventory or constrained logistics. It flawgic to use this to estimate demand because we don’t know how much supply there is. Many people think the delayed launch of this product is tactical…

Although the XS has strong advantages over the XR, including true OLED blacks, HDR, optical zoom, higher pixel density, thinner, lighter, narrower bezels, etc - there are some good reasons for considering the XR. Compared to XS, XR has As much as 2…

So the XR only has 3GB of RAM Considering it’s display has less than half the pixels of the XS MAX, 3GB will do just fine! Didn’t iPhone X have 3GB?

wonkothesane said: I don’t understand how the LCD should account for the longer battery life in the XR as opposed to the OLED. I thought the whole point of OLES (or at least one of the major ones) is the absence of the backlight Illini sting …

Zelder said: I find this article strange. Apple Watch 3 does support the Qi standard - at least in theory. Hardwarewise it does, but why has Apple blocked regular chargers? I got my Samsung Qi charger to work for a few seconds when I used a m…

Apple Watch Series 3 does not support Qi but will work with AirPower. Is this a hardware or software limitation? I expect it’s a hardware one otherwise Apple would have enabled it by now. There would be no benefit to users in holding Qi support ba…

It’s amusing that Samsung sets these videos in an Apple Store. Of course Samsung has very few stores - the very fact that Apple has stores people can go to for help is a big reason to buy their stuff.

Binaural recording is interesting. The basic idea is to record with two microphones that are close together and pointing in opposite directions. The microphones are therefore oriented exactly like our ears. These recordings are best experienced thro…

“Devices put anywhere on the plate communicate their location on the pad” I shouldn’t think this would be necessary and how would the device measure it’s location relative to the pad? How would it communicate it’s location if it is turned off or ha…

So for the HomePod test there was just two trained listeners from their staff. I’m a professionally trained listener. I conduct acoustic testing every week. It’s true that despite having all the test equipment in the world the human ear is still an…

Operating loss of 41 million euros! This business is mature enough that it should be profitable. They have grown a large subscriber base and yet they make no profit. It’s hard to see how further growth in subscribers can turn things around. At bes…

I’d like to see this new $299 three node duel band system go head to head with the $299 Eero+beacon. The Eero is simultaneously tri-band (2.4, 5.2, 5.8) The Eero beacon is duel band (2.4, 5.0). So the Eero system actually works using 4 frequencies.…
