FWIW Huawei is a phone maker, not a "local reseller" - they make some of the best Android phones, unfortunately got banned in the US for political reasons. Honor is a Huawei sub-brand to sort of get around the restrictions, although it seems Huawe…

It's true that it's impossible to live on one time purchases in the app store. It's just not a good business model to have ongoing costs and a one time sale. That's why all apps have now switched to subscription, and those who haven't will be out…

Well, this is interesting. Unless they are too early, this is an obvious winner - productivity wise likely better than iPhone which is amazing. In terms of entertainment, it's clearly worse, you r Tik Tok videos won't look so good rendered by gr…

Physical brightness and volume control keys are way better than the touch bar. No one has time to have customized features for each app on the touch bar - even apps I use most often, I end up learning the 2 or 3 most important keyboard shortcuts t…

These use "lightning" like older iPhones? Strange.

I've had my blue FineWoven case for 2 weeks and it's showing some nice patina. It looks good. But it is a little bit worrying given it's basically brand new and already appears aged. I don't think it will hold up well long term, likely will have…

14 or 16 cores and black and 22 hours of battery life???? I am getting that thing. Take my money. One of the few product releases in recent history where I am going - hell yes, this is it! No ifs and buts, just some awesome hardware. It looks…

Yup getting it - I wish it had a titanium back - all that focus on the design is a bit wasted because you're not going to balance your $1500 camera, wallet, dating device all-in-one naked... only the brave. So it's going to be in a case. Maybe they …

Missing the gold option. That being said, the iPhone 1 came in all shades of black. So did the 3G and the 3GS and only with the iPhone 4 did we get black or white. I've also not seen my very beautiful gold 11 Pro except when I clean the case aft…

Educated guess: This has more to do with Samsung weakening than with Apple strengthening. Apple's always had a ridiculous share of mobile profits - 50% - so Apple has no reason to change its strategy. But Samsung is facing stiff competition in t…

Apple did the right thing - you can't be privacy orientated and simultaneously scan everyone's pictures. Pretty amazing they listened and turned around. I would love to say they did it because it was the right thing to do - but Apple's marketing m…
