We DON’T WANT facial recognition - but the surveillance state, the Globalists, and the Deep State does.
Had Henry Ford run his company like Apple, the Model T would have been reduced to a glorified wheelbarrow.
At some point "minimalist" reaches a minimum and can go no further. Kinda like a reverse Moore's Law.
Don’t have an iphone, but from what I’ve seen of my coworkers’ phones, the most appreciated feature would be a screen that easily detaches and was replaceable for a modest fee. It seems they are regularly shattering their screens and then shelling out big bucks to get them repaired.
As always Samsung did all this long before Apple.
Please, Apple, don’t get rid of the side buttons. My Iphone X already mysteriously turns itself on in my pocket from time to time. I shudder to think what might happen if the side buttons become virtual.
The smartphone market has almost caught up to the PC market in terms of maturity. 5G will probably cause the next big wave of upgrades, but besides that, there won’t be very many compelling reasons for most people to trade up barring some unforeseen revolutionary feature.
Why is there such a big push to get rid of all the buttons and whatnot? I LIKE having hard buttons, ones that whatever program can’t override or remove. It’s annoying enough that apps can fullscreen and remove my back/home buttons.
Or just skip all that and go straight to the optic nerve. Sheesh. If I wanted less in my phone, I’d get a Motorola razr.
Quality cameras require depth. Doogee is obviously not a quality camera. . . they went for less depth.
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
I'm just saying, nobody back in 1982 envisioned such a device as the iPhone. Not even science fiction writers.
I was in the Marine Corps in 1982 and stationed at Camp Pendleton. I lived in wooden barracks by I-5 that were built around World War 2. We had a TV in the rec room that was hooked up to cable and we marveled over that, especially HBO and MTV. We had Pac-Man and Space Invaders on consoles the size of pinball machines over at the E Club - where you could get 3.2 draft beer for fifty cents a glass ($2.00 a pitcher).
Imagine if I walked into the E Club with an iPhone 8+ and showed them the calculator? They would think that I had a pretty sharp looking calculator. Then I'd close it and open up Pac-Man and heads would start to spin. Then I'd fire up the Music App and start playing Van Halen or ZZ Top. They would start backing away from me, making the sign of the cross like I was the devil summoning evil spirits. Then I would go to video and play a clip from Pulp Fiction (a movie still eight years in the future). They would drop to the floor in amazement. Then I'd make a phone call and put it on speakerphone. They would then get very frightened and run out of the E Club. It would be a stampede. I would then be arrested by the MPs and thrown in the brig. Then I'd be whisked away on a military flight to some deep basement in Washington D.C. where I'd be interrogated and probably tortured.
Well, that's just the way I would envision it going down. Maybe I'm wrong.
I still think getting rid of the headphone jack was a stupid move.
