• The New Thing Being Announced Later Today

    From sms@21:1/5 to All on Tue Sep 12 06:15:41 2023
    It's going to be the best thing ever, the biggest, fastest, and the most technically advanced thing, packed with all the upgrades and
    capabilities that anyone could ever want.

    It will get rid of all the great features that everyone used to need but
    that no one wants anymore.

    It's going to change everything. It will make people that use it think different.

    It will be the most advanced and most innovative thing ever in the
    history of the world.

    Anyone still using the old thing is standing in the way of human progress.

    Will the case use special metals so Apple can tout it's a unique design?

    I’m surprised they didn’t announce a new rainbow colored version.

    Im surprised they didn't announce a new rainbow colored version.

    They made a big deal about the "universal charging" standard though.
    As if it was a great idea they suddenly had to standardize cabling.

    At this point, phones are a mature technology.
    A new rainbow-hued color is about all that can be made new.

    Still, I predicted Apple would never have the 5G modem by now.
    And I was right.

    It's looking like I'm right that Apple is incompetent in chip design.

    BTW, the Samsung Galaxy S23 comes with a charger in the box.
    The iPhone does not as Apple doesn't give one whit about their customer.

    This sentence from the article makes no sense:

    The Galaxy S23 comes with a USB-C charger, in the same vein as many of
    its predecessors. USB-C is more convenient and much faster at data
    transfer than Lightning, which is yet another feather is the iPhone
    15s cap.

    No one fact checks articles anymore, nor do they check if they are
    coherent. That sentence is bizarre. Also, the S23 does not come with a
    charger, at least not in countries where there is no legal requirement
    to include a charger.

    What surprised me is that they did not up the refresh to 120Hz, or even
    90Hz, on the non-pro iPhone 15 models. The mid-range phones from
    Motorola, Samsung, OnePlus, and Nokia, are all 120Hz. I suppose that the
    reason is that they needed to have clear differentiation, in multiple
    ways, between the non-Pro and Pro versions.

    that's because you don't understand anything about product design and
    only see numbers on a checklist, thinking bigger numbers must be
    better.

    I suppose that the
    reason is that they needed to have clear differentiation, in multiple
    ways, between the non-Pro and Pro versions.

    the main reason is supply chain issues, as well as that most people
    won't notice a difference in normal everyday use.

    I apologize if I was in err as I took verbatim, a priori, what the article
    said about the charger coming with the Samsung S23.

    Especially as I just bought a bunch of Samsung tablets from Costco and each came with a charger in the box, as did my free Samsung Galaxy from
    T-Mobile.

    Most phones come with the charger where it's only the highest end phones
    for the most part which copied Apple's lucrative strategy of removing
    content so that the customer has to figure out a way to purchase it back.

    Samsung wouldn't dare do it for the entire line.
    Only the phones that directly compete with the fashionable Apple garbage.

    Just checked BestBuy Canada.

    The least expensive iPhone they sell is $445.

    The most expensive Samsung phone they sell less than that is the "Open
    Box - Samsung Galaxy A54 5G 128GB - Black - Unlocked"

    No charger.

    Next down is the "Samsung Galaxy A14 5G 64GB - Black - Unlocked" at $330.

    No charger.

    The "Samsung Galaxy A52 5G 128GB - Black - Unlocked" $300

    No charger.

    The "Samsung Galaxy A03s 32GB - Black - Unlocked: $170.

    No charger.

    And that's the end of the line.

    You were saying, Arlen?
