recently handed out a new iPhone 6S to someone at work. he opted for the 6S since at that price point he could get the 128GB model and fit under the $100 limit so he didn't have to pay anything.

his previous model was a 32GB 6S so p. sure his needs are being fully suited. feels good

i don't play games on my phone so my 6s+ is still perfectly adequate and i don't plan on updating until they work out the kinks in the new features in the x and support the 600mhz lte bands being deployed now. the only thing i'm really envious of in the newer phones is the better camera

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

that's really weird, surely apples oled is sourced from samsung, where googles problematic panels were lg. there has been a lot of oled phones over the past few years, and burn-in has not been that much of an issue, then suddenly in 2017 both lg and samsung ships premium panels that burn in within weeks?

both aggressively upping max brightness for hdr?

are we sure they didn't just put a crappy transparency effect over the popup by accident? seems really early in the product lifecycle for burnin

it doesn't even make sense for burn-in. oled burn-in occurs due to uneven wear on the pixels in different areas. the black areas around the clock icon wouldn't wear since they wouldn't be turned on at all. similarly, the hand on the clock wouldn't burn unless it never moved from that one time, which isn't the case since it's the one icon they let dynamically change for whatever reason.

in short: it's fake

oh yeah, this is entirely true, burn-in should appear inverted compared to that. makes far more sense, samsung has been doing good oled screens for a good while, it would be very strange is they hosed up that badly suddenly at this point

good decision. I have a 3.1 setup because that's easy enough for an idiot to do properly. it takes way too much space to do surround the right way and not worth doing it poorly

the amazon app for apple tv is out and they've managed to faithfully maintain the awful user interface of their other platform apps, like when you press the back button from a show page you can land literally anywhere on the huge main page and it might even reset the scrolling on the category you were just looking at

the good news is that they use apple's transport controls instead of the super awesome fast forward/rewind speeds increment by powers of two thing they do other places

samsung has been making phones and batteries for a decade it'd be strange if they made a bad one that caught fire with normal use especially in their flagship model!

one p. funny thing about that particular debacle is that apple used samsung batteries in most of their stuff until the patent spat started (same timeframe to when apple moved soc manufacturing to tsmc), rather dodged a bullet by luck there

still though, i don't think there is a better option on oled, and in fact apple would likely have gone to just about anyone else over samsung if there were

nah, samsung's batteries exploded because they made the hole in the phone too small for the batteries (or the batteries too big for the hole, whatever). since apple would spec the batteries this wouldn't happen since apple would reject any that were out of spec.
