Clueless idiot. Oh and btw Springfield do you know that your pets are getting eaten?  Fido is being roasted up right now. Smh you can’t even make this stuff up!

Yeah, except it’s actually happening.  

We’ve reached the point where the specs are close enough that they don’t matter.  You can’t have a gear to head and then say you’re evaluating it in a platform independent way. The platform is everything.  Apple’s image processing, and “ the whole is greater than the sum of its parts” approach literally affects everything one does with a smart phone.  It ends up coming down to design, preferences , and OS preference.  Personally, I use both iOS and android almost every day. Android absolutely sucks next to iOS in my opinion. So there’s no way I would even consider an android phone unless I had to.

Why are we going backwards on weight? The light weight of the 15 Pro for me is its best feature.  

Because it’s insignificant especially compared to the features they are prioritizing, like a bigger battery, screen, etc.  The difference  is 4 grams.  You wouldn’t feel 10 times that difference 

I’ll tell you what, I’ll forego every single one of those features if Apple can figure out how not to have the music app automatically start playing when I connect to my car’s Bluetooth. It doesn’t even matter if I quit the app first. It’s absolutely infuriating.  

I don’t really understand the outrage but I do agree. The ad is creepy. Beyond that, it’s aesthetically just very un-Apple.  It’s dark and gray. Visually and in terms of mood. Apple has had amazing advertising for 40 years. Their ads are typically uplifting, sleek, cool, etc. I will say I thought it was a good apology. Not overdone. Not a non-apology apology.“this is what we stand for, this is what we do, and on this one we screwed up. We’re sorry.”
