  • Apple rivals Samsung & LG aiming for foldable phones by end of 2017

    So what happens when a foldable screen breaks? Is it sharp? Does it leak something?

    I'd hate for something that's sharp break near my femoral artery.

  • 'iPhone 8' to come in three sizes, feature glass backs across the board - report

    If they reduced the bezel, could they not fit a 4.7" screen in the current 4" phone size? It obviously doesn't have the same dimensions, but is still a 4.7" screen.
    Of course, then we have reprogramming again to the different screens, like when they brought out the 5 (I think).

    What a useless tool, i think apple is forgetting too much the pro user and especially that the path is more clear with yoga or surface, and that they have to merge the two OS. i don't really get it, for the first time in years i am thinking to switch to window. Too useless innovations but more than that not a very good innovations on performance, and if they put the amd graphic card inside... i will really buy window as my next laptop Dell is doing so good now. Why they want to be only phone maker? I know for the revenues, but it's stupid what they are doing, all the professionals i speak too are changing their mind on apple.. also it's so easy for them to produce the best compuetrs.. come on apple stop this nonsense like the mac pro how can you think to not upgrade the processor as for 3 years now? that is really crazy. And the imac how long do we have to wait to see a graphic card in the model 21.5 4k. And also why don't you make iphone and ipad pro a real computer running a real operative system with a finder.. you always ask yourself why tablets are selling less and less.. it is really all up to you bosses at apple .. stop concentrating only on numbers... we are tired of your greediness!!!!
    "What a useless tool"
    Yep.

    I'm wondering about the "spillover effect" of the repuation-hit onto the rest of Samsung's smartphones.

    This disaster is only for the Note 7 product.  But will average consumers make that distinction or just hear "Samsung" and associate the safety issue -- in their minds -- with other Samsung phones (e.g., S7)?  If so, the damage (financial & brand) goes much farther than the market-value of the Note 7 product..
    I have to wonder what is so different between the Note and the regular Galaxy lines. They obviously introduced something new into the Note and I would imagine the lines share as much as possible to keep costs down. If so, how far into development for the S8 are they? How much of a delay would that cause to have to start over? Do they even know what the real cause is?
    Stylus support.

    Apple may have Pencil support for the iPhone 8 Plus on their roadmap, which would pick up some of these Note users next year.
    That wasn't the angle I was going for - I was wondering what they did to the Note 7 that made the batteries overheat, and how that differs from the regular Galaxy line. And had they planned to introduce whatever caused this problem into their Galaxy 8 line, and now have to go back and fix that too.
