iPhone X versus Samsung Galaxy Note 9: Which phone for 'Fortnite' gaming?
CobraGuy said:Looks like both do pretty well.
the next iPhones showing tomorrow should take it to another level over the Samsung.
some do not care for over saturated screens as do I for phots and videos but they are actually pretty good for games. -

Old computers with old processors, old graphics cards, no user upgradable RAM, tiny RAM limit of 32Gb, same old high prices. Apple should give 5 year warranties. After 25 years as a Mac user, I am considering those PeeCees sadly. Cheaper, faster, 17" laptops, powerful desktop models.
Apple IS apparently reducing it's commitment to Macs, Displays, Airport . . . in favour of services and phones. They know what sells and what doesn't - we don't.
Yes, it is sad, from another long term Apple user's perspective, that the market is encouraging Apple management and the Ive "design team" to focus their development and product delivery in the way they are currently doing.
It may be tough for us, who might prefer a different business model, but just check out AAPL stocks to see what Wall Street might finally be getting about Apple's business competency . . . -

KGI: iPhone 7 won't sell as well as the iPhone 6s
Let me just throw my 2 cents in. I just got my iPhone 7 Plus last night. I am upgrading from an iPhone 6. While I am very happy with my new phone, I upgraded mainly because I wanted a larger phone. If I had the iPhone 6 Plus, I would not have upgraded. The new features are wonderful, but they're not enough to make me have wanted to upgrade if I already had a Plus. My phone cost almost as much as my MacBook Air did, and so I will be more hesitant to upgrade in the future. Unless next year's phone blows me away, I will keep this phone for at least 3 years, possibly even longer.
