spoke to a dude with a 13-tb macbook why he chose it and what he thinks about the bar etc mainly out of my personal curiosity he said he’s always been a vim user and finds the lack of an escape key distressing he also chose it himself

I regret buying my touchbar mbp. I hate the keyboard and the arrow keys. the touchbar itself is useless and sometimes distracting. and dongle life has been kind of a nightmare. I should have bought a 5k iMac instead.

lmao gruber's lost itquote:So where do these rumors come from? I don’t know. My guess is that if there’s an intent behind them, it’s that competitors (cough, Samsung?) within the Asian supply chain are attempting to sow doubt about Face ID. The narrative presented by analysts and certain news reports this summer was that Apple was still scrambling to get Touch ID working embedded within the iPhone X display, suggesting that Face ID was their Plan B.

anyone replaced the battery on their 5s? i think mine is worn down a bit, or it just acts really weirdly

hmm, there appears to have been an exchange program for 5s, but the link now redirects to the "current" list of exchange programs was the battery you bought from apple or third party like ifixit?

phone batteries degrade. after 2 years you’re probably at 80% of original capacity. it drops off rapidly after that.

i also don't think there's a "service battery" warning like on macos, so i'm just wondering how easy it'd be to perform a diy replacement with ifixit

# ? Oct 27, 2017 01:22 |

they added a service battery warning to phones a few updates ago.

I replaced the battery on my 5S a few weeks ago, it was really starting to go. Coconut Battery or whatever it's called said it was down to like 65% capacity but it was also clearly crapping out.

I almost paid full price for an X until I saw the $30 upgrade fee and decided that was simply a bridge too far on a $1071 phone. I’ll wait until these features filter down to the poor people iPhones.

tim "cripple apple" cook wasn't entirely dumb about the iphone x launch hence but i'm eager to learn how many dozens got built for delivery on day one a million of a thing is a lot of things five or ten million boxed objects is lunacy any number of million that ends up being a frustratingly low amount of complex things built by foxconn hands at an unending pace is entirely abstract despite it maybe still being low in the scheme of wall street shame
