  • Apple again reportedly planning a new, but larger 'iPhone SE 2'

    80s_Apple_Guy80s_Apple_Guy
    That describes the iPhone XR pretty much. AN SE is supposed to satisfy the people that want a small screen and form factor.

    It only seems that way if you don't do an Google search for 'laptop stuck keys'. The first thing that comes up is an HP video about taking apart your keyboard and cleaning out the dust/crumbs etc.  
    At least there you can take it apart and clean it. With Apple you have to get the entire to part of the bottom case replaced.

    I know one wants ones’s Apple credit card to look beautiful, and it does seem silly that the card would quickly start looking dingy .... but it isn’t the point of the thing to not use the physical card when you can avoid it? And heck, it’s just a dang credit card. Why do people care?
    clearly, Apple did not design the card with use in mind! I honestly think this is a waste of titanium; A nice plastic card would be fine by me.

    I saw the other thread where the haters were making fun of this and yet I've never seen any other mention of a credit card being chided for this and it's happened to every single card I've ever placed in my wallet.
    See @80s_Apple_Guy's post - The reason people are 'hating' is because Apple asked for it. Apple went to extremes to make the card look and feel different; multiple posters have raved about how beautiful the card is and how it feels and it's also designed to be kept 'forever' - there's no actual expiration date on the card, if you need a new number, you get one on your phone and keep the same card. The look of the card was obviously important to Apple and yet it won't hold up to even a month of routine use.  It's only a credit card, but they clearly made decisions without regard to its intended use and the natural conclusion of this is to question Apple's design process and decision making.

    I think you’re overthinking it. Apple wanted to make a card that people would talk about. If someone is hung up on how it looks, they can push a button in the app and receive a new card. That’s about it. 
    But they also put a lot of time into the look and bragged about it on TV and in public. They opened this can of worms now they have to deal with it.

    I strongly suspect if Apple just put out a normal credit card no one would care. However, Apple made this a big design deal and showed it off as such. People expect better quality control Apple as such.

  • Apple's 'iPhone 11' again said to use USB-C charger

    80s_Apple_Guy80s_Apple_Guy
    That Apple still ships a 5W charger, the same as the iPhone 1 is despicable. If they create a new one for USB-C and it's still 5W that will show clearly Apple values minimal profit over it's customers. There is no valid rationale for the 5W still being there even now.
