Good thing iOS uses 4G data exclusively if your device screen is off or not plugged in. I've had some weird data charges on my iPhone from times when I did not leave the house and was exclusively on wifi.

Privately owned Xiaomi booked 347.5 million yuan ($56 million) in net profit last year, according to a regulatory filing that showed the world’s No.3 smartphone maker grappling razor-thin margins.

Valued by private investors at more than $10 billion, Xiaomi recorded revenue of 26.6 billion yuan and an operating margin of just 1.8 percent.

Android market has reached the zero margin stage for every manufacturer except one, and Samsung is getting eaten alive by these guys

Every phone everyone buys is free or 100 or max 200 on contact. Anybody doing different, in the us, is statistically insignificant. Correct?

most new phone plans just let you spread the retail cost of the phone over two years with some up front payment. I.e., there's no subsidy and you're paying the same amount as if you bought the phone for full retail price on the spot.

I think I'm gonna defend this practice. It's interest free, so why not borrow their money? You can pay it off at any point, so hold on to as much of your money for as long as you can. I know it seems like an insignificant amount of money for building interest, but if you take this approach with everything you do it could start to make a difference. See also: paying all bills on the last day before you accrue any late fees/penalties.

1) yes, take the loan because why not
2) everything you said about interest is dumb as poo poo and basically not worth your time

you guys would lose your poo poo (well mostly just cremnob) in India because everyone and their dog and the dog's kids have some sort of samsung phone. it's goddamn ridiculous

iPhone is an aspirational brand for rich people in developing countries. the other billion Indians are going to have to suffer their terrible local phones. it's a tragedy of extreme poverty and history may judge us harshly for allowing it.

did you know that there are people in the western world that choose to buy an android even though they can afford an iPhone? that's some hosed up poo poo right there.

yep. nothing stopped sarnsung or google or anyone else from looking a couple of years into the future, deciding that fingerprint-recognition technology would be an important asset (and considerable market advantage) and making an offer for authentec themselves. heck, when apple came knocking, authentec probably went out and solicited offers from other companies, in order to drive their selling price up or set off a bidding war

dont we usually complain about companies obsessing over next quarters results and refusing to think long-term? and yet when a company does just that, everyone whines about how its so unfair

i think the real reason is that too many companies are still trapped in the dell commodity just-in-time method of building electronics, where all the parts are available to every producer as commodities all the time. these companies are literally not built to look multiple quarters down the road and think about locking up supplies of important technologies ahead of time. they value their flexible supply chains and spot purchasing too much

lol if you think moto or any other android vendor was going to pay real money for a good fingerprint sensor before apple showed them how it was done. they got away with having a lovely one as a checkbox feature, why would they ever bother sourcing the expensive version?

mega lol if you think that Motorola had the industrial design created for a fingerprint sensor and had to scrap it at the last moment, leaving a dimple. if there was a fingerprint sensor there it wouldn't be a dimple in the case, it would be a hole where the sensor fits which may be dimple shaped. do you think they said "well, we have a hole here but don't have a sensor for it, let's fill it with a dimple of the same shape"?

this whole story is basically moto saying "we once looked at authentec sensors for our phones" which turned into a revisionist "we were totally going to do this great thing that Apple did if they hadn't locked us out of it"

i'm still checking apps, mobile safari is still the only one that doesn't put back button in top left, even all the third party apps i'm checking do it

the only other outliers are google apps, where they tend to do pop-up windows with x in top right for some reason on some windows

Safari doesn't have a standard back button because it doesn't leave the current view. the pages you're looking at are all within the same frame, and the forward and back buttons are for moving the content, not moving the view.
