  • Rumored iPhone SE with 5G expected to debut at March Apple event

    If they had a SE Plus, I'd get one.  I don't like the smaller screen, but having a home button and no idiotic notch are important features, particularly since I never go anywhere in public without a mask these days, and I doubt that's going to change for years to come.

    But hey, my 6s Plus still works great, and it's got a headphone jack too, so I guess I'll just keep using it.
    This is what I mentioned in Post #6 of this thread - "The specifications of new SE is very easy to predict. Just take a 3 year old entry level phone from the September launch event (in this case iPhone 11), swap the SoC with the latest generation iPhone (NO other changes to display, screen size, battery, cameras etc) and call it a day. You have got a new iPhone SE."

    So you would get larger screen, but no home button. And it would have a notch, FaceID (no touch ID) and no headphone jack. You would get some and lose some.
    Shh.  He's gonna be so nuclear that he'll smash the only headphone jack 6s he had.

    4K is so yesterday for pros, semi pros, and even enthusiast photographers and video editors. Today 6K should be the minimum resolution considered.
    Did you read that it's a "Conference Monitor" designed with video conferencing in mind (MS Teams was mentioned), not video editing?  It don't think it was meant to be used by "pros" (whoever they are these days).
    And yet 80% of people are still using 1080p, there’s virtually no 8K displays.  Yeah retinas are still ahead of its time.
    ...and most people don't actually use their 4K monitors at 4K resolution because a windows or mac screen at 4K is really hard to read. Most of them are scaled to around half their full resolution! Anything over 1080p for VC is just a big waste of money until bandwidth for the vast majority of users is considerably better.
    Scaled UI is different than system scaling.

  • Intel's Alder Lake chips are very powerful, and that's good for the entire industry

    lol I just saw how the M1 Max lost out to the 11980HK, they must be so confident. /s

    So maybe the Intel chip itself is faster, but in an actual product how long is it faster before it has to throttle so it doesn't melt down? I don't believe the M1 Pro and M1 Max really ever have to throttle, especially in the 16" MacBook Pro version. 
    OEMs aren’t afraid to go big unlike good-looking Apple, x86 is for real computers /s
