  • Apple iPhone 8 Plus vs Google Pixel 2 XL: camera is only part of the package

    Without even reading I can guess what this article is about: why iPhone is better than Pixel.

  • Apple predicted to ditch Touch ID for Face ID with 2018 iPhone lineup

    But everybody said Face ID only exists because Apple couldn’t get Touch ID under the display to work.

    According to well-connected analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Android hardware makers have turned their attention away from under-display fingerprint readers and toward 3D sensing technologies like those Apple debuted with iPhone X, a flip-flop designed to capture customer sentiment. 
    This guys notes get more ridiculous every day. Just a bunch of gibberish. Where is the customer sentiment for 3D sensing? Most consumers haven’t used Face ID yet and AR is in its infancy. Nobody knows yet if this is going to be the next big thing everyone has to have. 
    He and most everyone else who saw the keynote (consumers and OEMs) are predicting FaceID (instant secure unlock) and the technology that enables it, will be a commercial success. As Steve Jobs said “skate to where the puck is going.” You’re going to bust his balls for pointing this out, when we’re all assuming this to be the case? That’s ridiculous.
    Yes I am. Apple’s not the first to have this technology. I highly doubt Android OEMs are scrambling now to get Face ID knockoffs into their phones. Just like I don’t think Apple scrambles to do something that Samsung, Google or anyone else announces. That’s not how companies work.

    Pretty ironic how Google mocked Apple last year for removing the 3.5mm headphone jack and now they have done the same thing. 
    Didn’t Phil Schiller once mock wireless charging? All companies mock something until they do it.

    Why the AppleTV is worth the extra costs:

    1. Roku has ads on the home screen. Pathetic.  And expect more and more ads on the Roku UI.  The CEO of Roku said the future of Roku is ads:

    2. On board memory.  32 GB vs 4 GB on Roku.

    3. Much faster CPU

    4. Much faster GPU

    5. Free 4k upgrades

    6. Much better UI

    7. Much better Apps and App support


    Trying to save a few pennies a day to use a clearly inferior product seems ridiculous to me.

    Especially if you spent THOUSAND of dollars on your display and sound system.
    Meh. For a lot of people price will be the deciding factor unless they’re heavily invested in iTunes content. I mostly use my TV to stream Netflix and HBO Go. I don’t have a 4K TV. So the faster CPU/GPU and onboard storage don’t mean much to me. Can you show any evidence that consumers really care about apps on the TV? Apple rarely gives updates on the TV App Store and aside from showing off a random game on stage they don’t really talk much about new and exciting apps for TV. The only reason I can think of to spend the extra money is either you own a lot of iTunes content or are a huge sports fan and must have an MLB or NBA app with all the bells and whistles.
