    Wait, so benchmarks and specs matter now? Or only matter because they’re ones where Apple comes out on top? How about doing a review of the phone using this chip and compare everyday usage to the XS. Is the OS fast and smooth? Do apps and websites launch quickly? How’s the camera? How does their version of portrait mode compare to Apple’s? Geekbench scores means nothing to most people.
    You always state this drivel each time such an article is posted.

    And the answer is always the same.  Of course "performance" matters - it always has.

    As I have stated many times, what isn't as relevant are pure component "specs" (which is what the PC heads always liked to trumpet), as that is only a part of of performance, and it depends on implementation.
    - number of transistors
    - clock speed
    - amount of RAM

  • Apple supply chain wary of reduced iPhone orders for Q4

    Gee, maybe instead of coming out with new phones every other day, they should try updating Mac Mini and Mac Pro and do some innovation in the computer space.   I know phones are important, but most of us aren't going to junk our $1000 iPhones every 12 months.   We are into the price territory where I need to get 2 or 3 years out of my investment.   
    I hope you don't take yourself seriously...

    So your logic is - you don't replace your phone every year - so Apple doesn't need to update their iPhone models every year.

    If you can't see the nonsense in this statement, there is no hope for you...

  • CBC Video claims Apple's repair policies are abusive, but 'proof' falls far short

    This doesn’t surprise me. Marketplace (a “consumer watchdog” show also made by CBC also runs highly biased shows. 
    I disagree. CBC is generally the best non partisan news because it’s not reliant on any commercial interests. Marketplace has exposed many frauds and provided consumers with valuable information over the years to make informed decisions. 
    CBC and "non partisan" do not belong in the same sentence.

    Bloody Canadians.
    As a Canadian, I've seen the reporting quality by the CBC going down the toilet considerably over the last few years, favouring sensationalism and skewed facts to support their own conclusions.

    Also of note, go check the comments sections on ANY news story they publish regarding Apple, negative or not; it gets FILLED with the most vile, anti-Apple, Fandroid-troll rhetoric you can imagine, which gives you a glimpse into the type of readers / viewers the CBC seems to attract, and thus they choose to cater to for click bait articles and news stories. And try to post any pro-Apple comments, or post any pro-Apple evidence to counter the CBC article, and not only will you get vilified and bullied, but the admins of the CBC site often delete your post.

    It's disgusting, makes it look more like BGR.com TBH.
    The CBC should stand for Communist Broadcasting Corporation.  The fact that Apple is the most successful public company in the world is all they need to want to produce a biased report.

    I have probably watched 30 mins of CBC news in the last 3 years, and every time I tune in for a few minutes, I remember why I try to avoid it.

    The CBC gets a $1B CAD annual subsidy from the Canadian government - without that it wouldn't exist.
