  • iPhone 11 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S20 - $999 premium smartphones head-to-head

    So higher resolution screen - but beyond the point it makes a useful real world difference, so irrelevant

    More RAM - but only required because Android runs poorly, even with triple the ram capable of no more than the Apple model

    Screen capable of higher refresh - but no practical purpose for a normal user, phone will not run demanding games at such a high rate anyway

    5G Networking - but 5G footprint is basically non-existent and 4G provides sufficient speed for every consumer use case

    Higher res camera - but no consumer use case for such high megapixels

    Larger battery - but no more or worse real world battery life

    Wow outstanding Samsung.

  • Foxconn iPhone plant at Zhenghzou reopens with 10% of workforce

    Wow so many here bitten by the 'anti-racism' bug they've lost all sense.

    It is neither racist for Apple to contract work to China and leave the working conditions up to the Chinese partner nor racist to care about how those workers are treated and wish to hold Apple to a higher standard than what those workers receive.

    Realistically none of those issues would be different if Apple was off-shoring manufacturing to the Ukraine or Estonia, so the race of people concerned is pretty much entirely irrelevant.

    It isn't racist to care about people and it isn't racist to trust that other people can handle their own business.
    Gold-standards in ethical business does however mandate paying contractors sufficiently to enable them to remunerate their staff appropriately and provide safe and appropriate working conditions (and holding them to that commitment). Apple doesn't have to do that however (they don't need to be "gold standard" to still lead the pack), but I'd note they have gotten involved previously to lift working conditions and employee welfare at Foxconn previously. Notably when they were seeing worker suicides make international news.
