Apple: Making yesterday’s technology just a little better today and charging through the roof for it.

Uh, what part of "it’s the best Display I’ve ever tested" and "precision display calibration (which) Apple developed, which transforms the OLED hardware into a superbly accurate, high performance, and gorgeous display, with close to text book perfect calibration and performance!!” falls under your caracterization of "yesterday’s technology?" How about the A11 Bionic Processor in a mobile phone that’s benchmarking faster than many desktop processors, and is certainly faster than every single competitors’ processor out there by a margin of better than 50%? Or how about Apple’s Neural Engine Processor also included in this mobile phone that can make 600 BILLION calculations per seconds? In a mobile device? Do either of those advances that NONE of the competitors can even approach count as "yesterday’s technology," freedum2003?

You Apple Hate Brigade members sure know how to use your abysmal ignorance to demonstrate how little you grasp reality just so you can toss out an anti-Apple facturds lacking any semblance of truth.

Like I said, it could be the best thing since sliced bread, but at that price point it’s just not for me. I buy my cars the same way, BTW. Reliability, durability, value. And I get over 200,000 miles on my cars. I look at cell phones the same way. I have a big screen smart phone because of my vision issues. I’ve had it for years. Sure didn’t pay a grand for it. Won’t replace it until I can’t repair it or it no longer meets my needs. And when I do eventually replace it, it won’t be with a model that runs the cost of 2 or 3 car payments. That just not how I roll. Not knocking Apple. Their product at that price point is just not for me.

As I said — Apple just makes existing products a little better. Nice to see they made a good screen and have sped it up. For $1K it damn well better be the best one in the history of mankind.

I will bet in a side by side comparison 99% of people could not tell the difference between the 10 and the S8. And I have had retinal scan and face recognition on my devices for over a year

You can bet the 11 will be incrementally better still. And fanbois will line up all night to spend 3 to 4 times what extremely close (or better) alternatives would cost.

That’s OK — people without blinders just LOAO each time.
