iPhone X seen as 'strategic success' for Apple as 3D sensing cameras 2 years ahead of comp...
I remember when Apple was criticized for NOT selling a phone with an OLED screen.DavidAlGregory said:I still say the iPhone X is an IQ test. Are people stupid enough to pay $1k for something Apple makes for a little over $300. That is one hell of a markup.
If I had a Jeff Bezos $100 Billion I would not pay that much for a cell phone and I have no interest in any face recognition system.
Cannot for the life of me understand the BFD being made over an OLED screen. As to cameras, I have Leicas that smoke any cell phone snapshot camera.
Price Consciousness should be translated to rational, sentient being. In the end, your $1k does not buy you faster internet, better sound, better battery life or more storage capacity. It does get you a lighter wallet

Apple putting pinch on worldwide OLED supply, Chinese vendors looking to mini LED in 2018 ...
“Inky blacks” was a meme.lkrupp said:
While I agree with your assessment about LCD vs OLED that’s not the narrative we’ve been subjected to for the past couple of years. The usual suspects were constantly trashing Apple for not having OLED while Samsung did. Apple’s LCD screens where subpar they claimed.racerhomie3 said:I still love my LCD. OLED is OK , and I think Apple has done a terrific job at improving it. But at the end of the day my iPhone SE looks just as sharp to me as iPhone X. Only HDR videos are where I can see some significant difference.
It covers for a lot of ills. Image retention, faded blues, decreased brightness with age, pen tile image aliasing, off-axis color shift. Nah. Inky blacks fixes everything. -
Apple running low on iPhone 6 Plus batteries, postponing some swaps until March
Who was it that said on a recent AppleInsider podcast that there’s no reason to rush to replace your battery, that you’d have all year to do it? Was it Neal Hughes? I remember words to that effect, but now I think as Dec 31 approaches, the shortages willl come back with a vengeance, as the price increase looms.Mike Wuerthele said:
It isn't speculation. We have our own sources, we often get tipped, and we do our own research.foggyhill said:Who said March, did Apple say that or is this complete speculation.
If if they are installing batteries all day long there may be local shortages for sure, there is no source for this, even as a Timor , in the article. More click bait?Other venues have said other things about it, that we can't verify.
