See Apple's HomePod take on the competition in our ultimate smart speaker sound comparison...
I know listening to the AppleInsider tests on my MBP over the web cannot possibly allow me to fairly judge the differences between the speakers. That being said, from what I could extract listening from this limited position, I would say the clear winner was the Sonos and the HomePod coming in second and the Google Max 3rd. The Sonos in every test just sounded cleaner and more crisp. The Sonos sounded clearly better from where I stand. But again, I get that it's not a fair judgement, not actually hearing them in person. This AppleInsider test has definitely drawn my attention to the Sonos. I will for sure be looking very close at Sonos now and really looking forward to listening to the HomePod versus the Sonos in person! Hopefully Sonos has plans to change the asthetics of their lineup sooner rather than later because in a looks comparison the HomePod wins hands down!

Lesser-known Android phone makers copy look of Apple's iPhone X
StrangeDays said:But...video defaults to NOT being zoomed-and-cropped. You’re saying you intentionally double-tap the screen every time you watch a video in order to zoom-in, which in turn crops off the left and right edges of the video, losing content. Why would you do this?

Rayz2016 said:I think the reason behind the notch is to improve the user experience. If the camera array was above the screen the users would have to look avbive the screen to trigger FaceID then refocus on the screen after being granted access. The notch means they just look at the screen and they’re in.

Apple's goal with the iPhone X was to make a phone that was ALL screen with no bezels. So, some genius says "Hey, since we don't want to make a small bezel above the screen to put the camera and FaceID technology, let's put the bezel IN the screen!!" ...and thus the iPhone X was born. A smartphone maker following that idiotic idea is a kin to how the trend of wearing one's pants with the waits below the butt so the underwear is showing and you have to walk with your legs spread in order to keep the pants up. One person who I guess was considered cool, started that trend and someone said, "Hey, I'm gonna wear my pants that way too!!" ...and thus that idiotic trend was born.#s3gt_translate_tooltip_mini { display: none !important; } -
