  • iPhone 11 versus Pixel 4 -- Benchmark and hands on comparison

    kevin keekevin kee
    It looks to me the battery is the biggest problem Pixel 4 has (and that's understatement for 2019 phone that died after 4 hours, what the flipping heck Google?). Scrolling through the reviews online, there are lots of complaints related to its battery. Software and hardware do not seem to be designed optimally for the battery used.

    This is a bit hard to believe considering how long iOS 13.x.x has been out and all of the ranting about issues with it there have been.   I myself have been scared to upgrade since my phone is working fantastic on 12.4.1.  Perhaps in the future,  they should do more evolutionary changes to iOS instead of what seems to be massive changes.  It seems obvious they had to code for the new 3 camera system on the new phones.  But instead,  could they have focused on the new cameras first and then work on the new changes and release the new changes after much more thorough beta testing?  More than any other release, it seems 13 was rushed out the door when it didn't have to be.  I wonder if Tim Cook is aware of all the negative posts about it on various forums.

    Ummm what planet are you on?

    It's typical for iOS users to adopt quickly and iOS 13 is one of the most stable releases ever.

    You must be paying too much attention to the anti-Apple media which will blow up any Apple issue but ignore dangerous security flaws of the knockoffs.
    I can't find a single prior iOS release that has hit x.1.3 before December of that year and we aren't even out of October.
    Most x.1 are November at best and tied to hardware releases post iPhone update that year.

    Versions number say there has been serious issues without any subjective gauges.
    I appreciate that Apple chosen to respond for any potential and minor issues as quick as possible before they get blown out of proportion by media (again). The fact remains that I installed since 13.0 with no issues.

  • Samsung admits a screen protector defeats Galaxy S10 fingerprint sensor

    That explanation is interesting but doesn’t explain how the same screen protector unlocked her friend’s phone. 
    Sure it does. Her friend's finger oil is on the fingerprint sensing area on her phone. After applying the screen protector, it too is entombed.

    How does oil simulate ridges? The whole point of an ultrasonic sensor is that it isn’t supposed to be fooled by images since it can measure the depth of your ridges.
    Makes you wonder how the engineers at Samsung can fail so spectacularly? No QA? No Beta Tester? I don't know the answers but I am pretty sure it won't generate as much attention if iPhone had the same problem.

    People with zero problems hardly reported they have zero problems. Most likely all the complaints came from a very 'few selected' people who for some reason had isolated problems and made the most noises in the forum or that you are reading beta reports. Either way, I personally find 13 is the best OS(es) release ever, iPhone, iPad, iMac all are updated with zero issues.

    Why?

    This is just greedy.
