Wow!  Those predicting Apple's demise based the Galaxy Fold might be a bit premature! 

I think it's only a matter of time before Apple's decision to get rid of the 3.5 floppy drive doesn't wind up destroying the company.

Dear Mr. Dpkroh,

Your  positive endorsement of the iPad mini was excellent! Your monthly check for positive posts to help maintain both of our Apple stock share price was most excellent. Keep up the daily shill product reviews.lol

sincerely,

Tim

Yawn. Android sheep aren't particularly clever or knowledgeable.

Where the larger iPads can do work, the mini is truly an expensive toy...

Nonsense narrative, of course. When I did business development I had a Mini in my satchel, it was perfect for email, reviewing spreadsheets, and product photography. You have some silly ideal in your head that all work is running CAD or sometime.

It’s funny how so much of the hater narrative surrounding Apple hardware always begins with that same, repeated bit of nonsense: “But but but it’s a toy!”

So, not even original. 1-star. 

It seemed like I read somewhere that people in the medical community really like the size of the iPad Mini because it's a lot easier for them to carry than it a full size iPad is.

I just ran Geekbench 4 on my iPhone X, and these were my results:

I would say on balance I like the way the XS photos look better than the Samsung photos, they just look sharper and more realistic to me. I know lots of people are excited about the wide lens, but while it might be nice to have I can't really say it's something that I really want (and bear in mind, I live on a lake so I take LOTS of landscape photos. What I would really like is a better telephoto lens. Those are the photos I really can't take that I would like to take. I wonder if this is a problem with physics or making the right lenses or if people just don't want those kinds of lenses on their phones.

Having said that, I really do think the differences among the top phones is really overrated. When I look at photos I took with my iphone 6 and compare them with photos I took with my X on my 4k iMac screen, my X photos don't blow away my 6 photos (meanwhile, my 6 photos do blow away my iPhone 5 photos). My X photos are obviously better, but not that much better, and if the only difference between my X and my iPhone 6 was the camera I'd have never upgraded. I will also add that I've never had anyone send me a photo from their phone that made me think wow I wish I had that phone's camera nor has anyone sent me a photo from a flagship phone in which I was like I am really glad I don't have that camera. There are ways phone cameras could be better (see my comment about a better telephoto lens for one example) but I think overall phone cameras have kind of plateaued for now, and we are only seeing incremental improvements until the next big breakthrough
