DOA

I'm glad they dropped Apple News. I never like that biased far-left agenda driven distortion of a news publication.

I'm glad to read that the 7 Plus replacement will be getting slightly thicker, it is uncomfortably thin at the moment, unless you bung it into a case. The standard iPhone 7 dimensions seem almost perfect in my hand, but it doesn't come with that very useful dual lens setup. If they add a variation of the 7 Plus's dual lens camera to the 7s, I might seriously consider going for the smaller phone. I think the Edition is going to be unattainable for a very long time due to high demand and I don't have the patients to wait for it. As I really need to upgrade pronto, the battery on my current phone is worn out and even the battery case it now sits in isn't always enough. But I don't want to upgrade to a 7, when the 7s variations are only a few months away. This phone has got to last me a few years, I can't afford to upgrade every year and where I am they don't offer that option...you either have to pay the full price up front in one go, or go the payments route usually 36 monthly ones which you have to complete. My Cellular company does offer that upgrade to a new phone every year option, but not to the latest models or with the higher memory capacities.

The S8 multi-core performance is actually very slightly better than the iPhone 7, even though the difference is tiny, so you could say they're on equal footing there. Its single core performance where the iPhone 7 is still the king by quite a considerable margin.

Artists like that are douche's IMO. They're creating music for revenue of course, but also to placate their fans, without which they'd be nothing! But their fans are spread over a number of such services. To pull your catalog from Music and Spotify (where by numbers I assume most of those fans reside) is disrespectful and like a kick in the nads for said fans. And just selfish and egotistical behavior (HipHop big surprise there - not) on the part of such artists. Personally I don't care for Jay Z as I'm not into HipHop and think he's overrated anyway (Beyonce is the talent in that power couple, not him!) But for those that do like his 'music' its insulting I suppose.
