    Yeah, I get that it’s “a good deal” but you get (or don’t get in this case) what you pay for. Sorry, but Touch ID/home button, no Face ID, small battery, and large top/bottom bezels among other things are ancient history, and should be retired. Not all of us have the eyesight of a teenager anymore. My XS max fits my pocket fine. And if it didn’t, the X/Xs would. The best part is that we won’t be hearing the nauseating SE rumors for another 4 yrs again.
    @captain,  you are entitled to your opinion.  But I disagree that this style of phone which is only a few years old can be called "ancient".  There are also people who prefer Touch ID and\or home button instead of what passes as the user interface of the "non ancient" iPhones.  As for the battery, given that this has a "non ancient" CPU, perhaps it will do better than the "ancient" 8 series.

  • Apple planning Face ID for MacBook Pro and iMac

    you could cut out a small black piece of cardboard Shaped like a notch and tape to your laptop screen to have an idea of the outcome.  I’m not liking the idea of a notch on laptops.  If you do,  enjoy...

  • Apple plans to reopen some Apple Store locations in the first half of April

    It seems a bit too early to make announcements like this, just my opinion.  There was just an article today in USA Today that said the CDC reported the virus stayed active on surfaces in cruise ships for up to 17 days.  If that is true,  such a thing is really significant in understanding how tough this can be to deal with.
    Probably why there was no announcement. The article is based on rumor and not anything Apple has said. 
    Actually if you read the FIRST sentence of this article you may learn otherwise. -  I quote from this article - Apple expects to reopen its brick-and-mortar retail outlets in the first half of April, retail and people chief Deirdre O'Brien told staffers on Tuesday."   Did you not read the article ?

  • Review: Mous and the merits of a modular iPhone case system

    M68000M68000
    I had a phone case that had a magnetic piece to hold a flap closed.  While staying at a hotel,  put the phone in pocket with hotel room keycard that had mag strip.  Guess what,  my phone case erased that card strip so had to go to lobby to get back in my room.   Not a fan of cases with magnetic fields.

    Until these are notchless, I’ll pass.
    Apple seems to like it for whatever reason.  They must think that tiny bit of screen space is a good thing.  But it comes at a price.  The notch is both futuristic looking and distracting at the same time.  The eye is drawn to it often when looking at the new phones.   It may be possible to deal with it but it remains distracting.
