  • AT&T lying to customers by showing '5G E' on devices, under fire from other carriers

    thedbathedba
    In March 2008, the International Telecommunications Union-Radio communications sector (ITU-R) was specified a set of requirements for 4G standards, named the International Mobile Telecommunications Advanced (IMT-Advanced) specification, setting peak speed requirements for 4G service at 100 megabits per second (Mbit/s)(=12.5 megabytes per second) for high mobility communication (such as from trains and cars) and 1 gigabit per second (Gbit/s) for low mobility communication (such as pedestrians and stationary users).[1]

    The above is from the Wikipedia entry for 4G communications. 
    To my knowledge carriers haven’t yet attained anywhere near 4G speeds yet. 
    I will not hold my breath for 5G any time soon.

    Yes Please! Facial Recog is next to useless when wearing protective headgear. TouchID is a perfect alternative.

    This. It's such a pain when snowboarding. But it's too late. Apple never goes back on stuff like this.
    Yes it’s also a pain when you’re speeding down the highway and also when you’re walking down a crowded street   /s

    How about “watch where you’re going”?

  • Apple iPhone XS awarded smartphone camera of the year, Google Pixel 3 runner-up

    Oh no!
    The internet is going to explode with indignation on how such a travesty could occur. 

    In all seriousness, all these modern smartphones take excellent pictures/videos and a slight advantage that the Pixel 2 might’ve had has now disappeared.

    Whatever this clown thinks he’s doing, David Letterman already did years before this waste of protoplasm was conceived. 
    At least Dave knew that it was comedy.

  • Apple could and should make a larger iPad Pro but it probably won't be 15 inches

    I don't think iOS require mouse or some sort of pointer support.
    Apple should implement new OSX to touch. OSX is getting old.
    They need shift to new area that Windows already there long ago.

    It is time to Apple introduce new touch OS11.
    This will be separate from iOS to OS11 and iPad can be increase screen size. 13-15 inch.

    The OS11 should have 2 version. 1 for full blown for Mac Pro, Macbook pro, etc.. Other for some what strip down to core function for iPad pro.(I would say IPad MAX means maximum functionality.)
    OS11 strip down version still you can install desktop application or iPad app.

    New bigger iPad should start with 6-8GB RAM, 256GB SSD up to 2TB. And microSD card for data and copy photo from DSLR.
    This platform will be true test for Ax to intel CPU. If A13 or higher can take on Intel's i3 and i5 then Apple will introduce Macbook 12' and Air 13; will be replace from Intel by year 2021 or 2022.
    You want Apple to further subdivide their OS’s? Not going to happen any time soon, if at all. 
    The experiment of slapping on touch to a desktop OS hasn’t yielded the windfall that MS may have hoped for. The Surface line, which is supposed to be the holy grail of Windows devices hasn’t convinced enough buyers to surpass either the minuscule market share Mac or iPad.
    Developers on the Windows side haven’t jumped on the touch bandwagon to redevelop their apps and most users have stuck with what they’re already familiar, which is desktop mode. 

    SD card slot will never happen on an iPad. They’ve removed it already from the MacBooks, do you honestly think they will reintroduce it on a future iPad?
    There wasn't one on the MacBooks or the iMac for ages, then suddenly there was; I wouldn't be so confident in never.  A fair few people said Apple would never put 64GB of DDR Ram in the MacBook Pro.
    And once upon a time, Apple was pushing FireWire technology until they completely replaced it with USB. So what’s your point?
    As for your second comment, which people were saying that? BTW, MacBooks don’t come with 64 GB RAM, today. The max is 32 GB.
