  • Testing the speed of iOS 11 versus iOS 12 on the iPhone 6 and iPad Mini 2

    dysamoriadysamoria
    I'd like to see comparisons between iOS 12 and iOS 10, made on an iPhone 6s and iPad Pro 12.9" first generation. I've refused to put iOS 11 on either device due to how newer OS versions historically make existing devices slower/laggy.

    When you announce a new software feature, that does not mean that it is ready. Sometimes when developing software things arrive that were not foreseen and major structural changes need to be done. All these armchair commenters about how such and such is late have never developed software or hardware. Software at this level, near perfect up time over millions of instances is not hard, its near impossible, and the slightest hitch in the system will be laughed all over the net, I for one am pleased that when things are hard the delay them until they are ready, rather than deliver a lesser experience.

    At least they have delivered, some companies announce flashy new stuff then realise that they are shooting for the moon and quietly don't ever say anything more. 
    Comparing Apple to someone else's worse marketing doesn't justify Apple's lateness in bringing features to consumers that Apple used as marketing tools to sell hardware.

  • Sony buys controlling stake in EMI for $2.3B to become world's largest music publisher

    What has happened to Sony since Akio Morita is so sad. The company once stood for forward thinking, innovation, quality and now they are just another conglomerate trying to squeeze out a steady profit. Steve Jobs long admired Sony under Morita and the company used to supply Apple with displays back in CRT days.

    Sony long strived to keep fresh eyes and intentionally avoided hiring the same type of grads as the other Japanese companies- looking not for Tokyo University conformists, but the bright young minds that were just as smart but far less conformist. Morita famously asked a Conductor to evaluate the sound quality of a new product and when he savaged it, he was invited into Sony to work with the engineers to improve the musicality of the sound.

    That was a long time ago and I sometimes wonder if Apple is on the same glide path under Cook.
    Under Cook, Apple could buy EMI ten times over using pure cash. Or, now that Sony owns it, Apple could simply buy Sony.
    And who cares about the behavior or products of a company as long as they have enough money to buy other companies...

    Sony makes nothing as good as iPhone.

    They better be careful or Apple won't sell their "content". Apple should take this opportunity to demand lower royalty payments.
    Because the least money we give to music creators, the better for everyone?? You know that reduced royalties won't come out of the recording industry profits. It would come out of what is supposed to go to the actual artists.

    Why now? I think it's because 5G LTE celluar is starting to come online and Apple is skating to where the puck is going. 5G really is a massive improvement over current cellular technology.
    Perpetual growth in cellular is unsustainable. There's not enough bandwidth for everything and everyone to be on cellular.
