  • Apple finally launches high-yield Apple Savings account

    An Apple branded savings account is just a savings account. The only reason I have a bank savings account is for the discount on our safe deposit box, and free services like counting our coins, cashing checks from Facebook, Honda and other settlements, and notary public service. I fail to see how that would be implemented by an Apple online savings account.
    What is YOUR savings account rate?

  • Comparing the iPhone XR with the iPhone 8 Plus in the real world

    My biggest disappointment concerning the 8 Plus when I got it was the rear camera image quality, which was poorer than I was expecting, especially at high magnification, where a water color effect was much more noticeable than on my previous 5S. As well as image quality in low-light especially on video where there was noticeable noise that I didn’t have on the 5S. On the other hand, the 8 Plus’s telephoto lens has proved very useful to me and was the main reason I upgraded in the first place. I think I actually use it more in photography than the standard lens. A reason I wish it had the OIS of the X at that magnification. I had a look at an XR at a local Apple store, to me it was noticeably thicker than my 8 Plus, too thick for my liking.
    I agree.  The iPhone X camera was a disappointment to me.  From 5s to X, i just did not see much improvement.  Tiny ones.  I still love the 5s camera...it was a breakthrough back then (2013).  It took one visit to Apple store to convince me how much better XS camera is compared to X.  

    The XS camera is so good that it reminded me of the 5s camera when it first came out.  Game changer.

  • How the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max will fare against the Samsung Galaxy S10

    Just a reminder...ANTUTU benchmark canNOT be compared across OS.  Android and iOS Antutu scores cannot be compared due to different algorithms used.  

    Source: https://www.gizchina.com/2018/12/20/antutu-states-that-snapdragon-855-score-against-apple-a12-does-not-mean-anything/

    Therefore, Antutu is a useless benchmark across different OS.

  • Apple launches Smart Battery Cases for iPhone XS, XS Max & XR

    Where does it say that this doesn't fit the X? Normal X cases fit the XS, so unless they stated this battery case is different it should fit.
    Does Apple leather / silicone case for XS fit X?  No.  (I tried.). My guess is that the same applies here.

  • Camera comparison: Can the iPhone XR's single camera compete with the iPhone XS and XS Max...

    How does the iPhone 8 stack up against the new ones in the photography department? I hate the no-home button design of the new X’s and prefer a thumbprint option instead (especially for Apple Pay—I don’t want any unintentional scanning of my face).
    Xs/Xr is the first time Apple increased sensor size since iPhone 5s in 2013...jumping from 1/3.0" (5s to 8/X) to 1/2.55" in XS/Xr. Add in Smart HDR and its a whole next level.
