  • Apple sued over RIM-developed USB charging technology following preemptive action

    lkrupp said:
    Whenever a lawsuit like this is reported we usually see comments about reforming the patent system. Well, that’s NEVER going to happen and I’ll tell you why. We will never see reform because the lawyers are making craptons of money off the current system. And the lawyers become politicians to make sure things never change. 
    Yep! Revolving door system.

  • Camera comparison: Can the iPhone XR's single camera compete with the iPhone XS and XS Max...

    They have an app that allows the XR to take portrait photos of anything but it would be nice if apple made this available via the native photo app

  • Apple's iPhone XR named best single-lens smartphone by DxOMark

    It's been shown time and time again that DxoMark smartphone camera ratings are complete and utter bull crap.

    I say this now where it'll garner less controversy because Apple are at the top, but I'll be saying it again when the next Samsung/Google/whatever phone claims the top spot, despite not actually producing better or clearer photos.
    I agree about the bull crap, but for me it's less about where my phone ranks and more like do I like said phone. The iphone XS max is cool and ranks higher but my iPhone xr is product red edition and single shooter or not I'm content with price vs features and especially the color.

  • Poor news curation at Bloomberg, CNBC, Reuters creating misleading iPhone supply chain pan...

    Wait, what? Hasn't this very place had several articles talking about poor sales and supply issues when there wasn't any really?

  • Qualcomm exec says Apple's next iPhones will stick to Intel modems

    There are so many variables to this, I don't know how Qualcomm can really crow much about it.  I switched from Verizon earlier this year to T-Mobile.  My Verizon iPhone had the Qualcomm modem and the TMobile version has the Intel modem.  I know it's supposed to be slower, but my data speeds have been consistently faster with TMobile compared to Verizon.  That might not be true everywhere, but it is where I live and work.  The network, and specifically the network where you use your phone most of the time has way more to do with it than the modem.

    And am I mistaken or don't both of these modems exceed what most networks can even deliver to you consistently?  Sort of like having home internet that's 60Mbps and expecting that because your wifi router is capable of 1300Mbps, you'll see those kinds of speeds surfing the web.
    I was gonna say the same thing myself. I have an unlocked iPad Pro 12.9 which has a Qualcomm chip and an iPhone X both running on att and they seem to speed test about the same when I’m at work which is nights so I’m assuming lower traffic in a small town get about 50 to 90 mbps down on speed test app. While my co worker on Verizon with a tower in almost the same location approximately and using an iPhone X and he only gets about 45 mbps on the speed test app. I think Qualcomm is making much to do about nothing, but like you said there are a lot of variables to factor.
