Video: iPhone X vs Note 8 - Real World Comparison after 1 month
Ohhh, dear "unbiased observer" (sic), your own bias is a thick as sludge; reread your drone before talking about other's biasWindsponge said:I would like to start out by saying I just signed up to post this. I have read this site for many years and have never read comments till today. I was curious about what people thought of this article. Interesting to say the least.
I have owned every I phone but the first and the 8 and x. The first three I had to have Att and Verizon because I was a Verizon customer. I have enjoyed all of them.
I have owned many android. Moto, Samsung, Htc and Lg. They have vastly improved over the years. I have enjoyed using them too which some more than others.
Now to get to my point. Everyone will like what they like. My issue with this article is it was biased on his opinion. I have I phone 7plus and a note eight I use daily. I love both phones. Apple has messed up my phone with 11 and it is just now getting close to where it was. It had been a while since I had lag on IPhone but 11 did it. My note has no lag at all I have had it for months. My hands are big and the phone is perfect for me.
People need to realize that are own bias affects how we feel about things. For me my 7 is not less than the new ones. Not worth the investment. I have 256 gb jet black. Beautiful phone. With the update Apple took away my favorite wall papers. I am still pissed about that. I have black note 8 with 256 gb card. Beautiful phone.
This is a wonderful site. I come here to get all my apple news but they could have just not done this article. To me it wasn’t done fairly. I hope what ever phones you own that you enjoy them as much as I do mine. I have spent way too much money over the years but it is like a hobby for me.
Your whining about bias in comparing two phones when you don't even use one of them!! WTH!!!!
The oh I have this, I have that, I own everything Apple has ever made and been a fan forever...
before offering your so called "detached", compelled to register and save the poor people of this forum,, meta commentary.
This kind of "comment" with a distinct emotional investment about need to correct "bias" is a damn cliche and always strain credibility.
The guy used the phones for a month and offered his own opinion about that month;
Stop fluffing your own feather; your point if indeed it is authentic is just a unsupported anecdote, nothing else.
This articles points are certainly no more biased than yours and considering that they are actually reasoned, even less so.
Considering that thermals and space considerations would be a lot more extreme in the IphoneX's smaller format (it has all the equipment of a much larger phone), if anything the "unfairness" would be in comparing it at all with the Notes, yet that shit doesn't bother you or many others at all seemingly.
BTW: I've got nearly 35 years computer, systems and software engineering and used computer products, OS of all makes and brands since the early 1980s (touched by first Apple product around late 1979, Unix around 1984 ), so I am biased of not?

Dialog Semi admits Apple-designed power chips could come 'in the next few years'
Rayz2016 said:
It looks to me as if Dialog Semi has seen the writing on the wall, and instead of throwing a year of future business out of the window, they’ve decided to work with Apple to give themselves a shot at finding new business.jbdragon said:This was only a matter of time. There's a lot of people working for Apple, not only here in California, but around the world. It started with the CPU and the A* processor. There's been other minor chips sense then, and then the GPU, and now power management, which is important also. I wonder if Dialog Semi is a future company to sue Apple over copyright. Stealing their tech, and so on and so on.
Apple doesnt usually like their suppliers naming the company as a customer. I suspect that Apple is letting this one by so that Dialog Semi can use Apple’s name to help secure new customers.If Dialog really think they're going to lose that much revenue, they have to declare it otherwise it will leak anyway an some people will be accused of insider trading for sure.But, declaring early and not going into tailspin mode leaves them a bit more time to react (or even downsize gracefully).These kind of things have a broader use than the GPU chips so they may be OK, especially if having Apple as a client meant they couldn't take other jobs.

Activist group occupies French Apple stores in protest of unpaid Irish taxes
spice-boy said:
If anyone can be called a "parasite" it big corporations like Apple which exploit shady tax laws and hide money to tax havens.entropys said:“What do we want?”
“Other Peoples’ Money!”
“When do we want it?”
“Now!”
parasites.There is nothing shady about it; they're not well known to the general public, but tax laws are arcane even when they're well thought off but that doesn't make it shady.The US's so called "tax reform" (sic) is much more corrupt than anything that currently exists in the EU and its not shady at all, just full of vile and overt corruption.Basically having the whole US take a loan (issue bonds) to pay for a tax cut to the wealthiest (that includes multinationals ) in the "hope" that money will somehow come back into new physical investment & R&D instead of being piled into the stock market into more leverage, speculation and various pyramid schemes: aka trickle down.That's a hell of a lot like what happened in the late 1920s btw.As for France. France has one of highest taxes in the world so I think anyone doing business in France is paying their shares already. They're not even complaining about taxes in their own country, but another one.I'm a french canadian with extensive links in France, friends and family members, so I know quite well about France.Apple followed Irish tax laws (so says Ireland), it's the EU that disagrees. This is basically a fight between the EU and the US about taxation (they also don't want internal EU members to offer wildly different tax laws, but the way of going about it retroactively taxing firms and disavowing long standing Irish tax rules, is not a good way to do it). Tax being paid in the country were the value was added is a long standing way to do international taxation, and if you apply what the EU wants to do to smaller firms, it is obvious that it makes no sense. I'd expect Apple and Ireland to make this point in the continuing fight.If the EU wants to solve the Apple issue, they'll have to negotiate with the US, which right now means talking to a 6 year old man child; a really ugly situation.

First FDA-certified Apple Watch accessory is AliveCor's Kardia Band EKG meter
rogifan_new said:
I’m still a bit confused how this is utilizing the Watch. Could they just make a band that communicated with your phone? I think these things will be a tough sell if they add another $200 to the price of an Apple Watch. Unless they’re subsidized by your health insurance company.techno said:This is where the watch takes a very important path. With more FDA approved devices like this, the value of the Apple Watch significantly improves for the non-fanboys.Medical devices are very expensive and you'd be surprised how much any one who actually needs it will pay for them.Devices that otherwise should cost $100 bucks cost $1000 if they are "FDA approved", so $200 is no biggie.This is an area ripe for disruption. Apple taking care of the data management / display / storage means those medical device makers could concentrate on something they're actually good at (the medical aspect) and not everything else, which they are undoubtedly they are not.

Apple issues fourth developer betas of iOS 11.2, watchOS 4.2, tvOS 11.2
Well, seems there is an issue with the youtube app, if you are using that.GeorgeBMac said:
My experience with my 6+ is the opposite: The battery drain is incredible. BUT, it seems to be dependent on what the phone is being asked to do. Video seems to drain it like a damn with a hole in the middle.lkrupp said:
You blathering about it doesn’t make it true. There is nothing to be fixed in this matter. I have an iPhone 6 on iOS 11.1.2 and my battery lasts two days regularly. I’ve been using it all day and it’s at 70% right now. If you read it on the Internet that doesn’t mean it has to be true.waverboy said:Battery life improvement? I'm not upgrading my 6s Plus to 11 until this is fixed.
