Bad AppleInsider.   Stop posting misleading nonsense clickbait. Turn off location services. “Problem”solved. 

If this was Google,would you still be saying that ?  Oh, If It's Apple then it's ok right. 

Sort of... The difference is business models. Apple wants to sell you Electronics hardware and online services, whereas google wants to sell you. To anyone with cash.
It is in apple best interests (both optically and fiduciary)  to respect your private data, Alphabet is just the opposite, it is in their fiduciary interest to sell you down the river privacy be dammed.
Scary thing it, is appears they have been collecting personal health information without Doctors nor patients knowledge or permission (HIPAA be dammed) And again because of their differing business models it is a concern that goog is collecting healthcare data apple, not so much.

I still want to see a video that times opening, in sequence, all the “same” apps on each phone (twice) like we used to get every year. 

Their not the "same", you have a huge dependency on how shitty the current release is, and if they're actually doing the same thing on startup.

There is a hell of a lot of setup that's done on startup of an app and assuming it's the same between releases and OS's is not wise.

For example, if on IOS/Android you could do a lot of things up front that you can't in Android (and vice versa), it would be penalized using this kind of things.

That's why you have to go for benchmarks where you actually know they're actually mostly doing the same small tasks and you have access to the source code.

Except it shows good real world examples of how fast using each phone is. Like someone mentioned in another thread, it doesn’t matter if your car can go over 200 mph when you’re driving it around town.  

The poster "in the other thread" sounds like someone who hasen't actually driven a car that can go over 200MPH. Nope, even around town the feel of "nearly instantly responsive" has real benefits.

This is getting ridiculous: "Samsung's related capacity has jumped from 30,000 to 45,000 panels per month a year ago to 105,000, ETNews said on Friday." And it's not even sourced (in original ET story it is "is reported") It is a story about an unsourced story by a another new agency. Tech news has become like the debate on the existence of a transcendent being. While I can't definitively say this story is false, there is not a single shred of evidence that any of it is true. Actually... I take that back, it would be far easer to argue the existence of god than it would be the accuracy or truthfulness of this news echo of a Electronic times yarn.

Man the OS after High Sierra is going to be sketchy. How can they make sure every unix executible in the system is 64-bit? and reliable? Seems like quite a bit of work... The "ability" tho to at least run a 32-bit app was/is a great "feature" of our OS as it stands right now I got stuff I know I am not going to be able to run...

Run a 32 bit VM for legacy apps 

"Samsung new hot sales" takes on new meaning given the last samsung debacle. ;-)
