  • weMessage promises to bring iMessage to Android, uses Mac as server

    I don't know. To all my Android friends, there is WhatsApp or Line, two popular iMessage alternative which can be easily downloaded and used within minute. I just wished they support Animoji, but well.
    Try sending a photo in iMessage and then send the same photo in WhatsApp. WhatsApp greatly reduces the file size, whereas iMessage will send it at full resolution.

  • Apple premieres new promo video, '8 things to love about iPhone 8'

    sog35 said

    14. Not sure.  The 6s didn't really shame the 6.
    But it had better cameras on both front and rear, live photos, faster processor, more ram, better grade aluminium case and 3D touch. No shame in having the 6, but the 6s is a better phone.

  • Inside iPhone 8: Apple's A11 Bionic introduces 5 new custom silicon engines

    "Google  - aimed at hitting an average selling price of less than $300—Android One phones have an aggressive price target of $100." 

    Not entirely true nowadays; the Pixel phones were priced the same as the iPhones and the new MotoX4, running Android One is around $400. This has got to be good for Apple. I would not pay the same price for an android phone as an iPhone. Now that Apple has phones at every price point  I can only see Apple sales increasing.

  • First iPhone 8 teardown reveals few internal design changes [u]

    No changes except the glass back and the wireless charging coil. Oh, I forgot to mention the A11 processor which managed to render a video in 40 seconds that the latest Samsung phone took over 4 minutes to render. But the iPhone is only a toy and can’t do anything /s.

  • Apple TV 4K won't play 4K YouTube videos because of missing Google codec

    C'mon, Apple. Do the needed negotiations/due diligence to make sure things play nice with at least the top handful of software partners that your users really use, before releasing a major software update.

    Btw, in my organization, people have been told to not upgrade to iOS11 because it cannot send mail via Outlook/Exchange. Quoting from the memo, "...An error appears stating "Cannot Send Mail. The message was rejected by the server." Apple is working to resolve this, and expects a fix soon. [XYZ] recommends NOT upgrading to this version of iOS at this time."

    Pathetic.
    Outlook is working fine on iOS 11 on my iPhone SE
