funniest thing about nike run club, the software for the watch that is also available as is, is that it is not even fully compatible with apple health lmao

I was going to pre-order an SE-2 and they cancelled the SE altogether

why timb

last night I literally watched someone with an 8+ refuse to believe that the se had still been on sale in 2018. they were convinced such a small phone must have been bought years ago.

yes, they had a ring glued to the back of their 8+ because that was the only way they could hold it steady and touch the screen at the same time.

imo americans should grow up to decent height, then holding a modern-sized phone wouldn't pose such an issue

everyone i have met that has that trash glued to their phone is usually not too bright and probably thought they got a great deal on it for $10 or w/e from a chinese vendor on amazon.com

I mean, I guess you’d have to buy a new case if you tried it and didn’t like it but it seems like a strange thing to worry about too much? Wirecutter’s good case is like 12 bucks?

i don’t understand apples decision to get rid of the SE’s.. a really bad and un-apple decision to exclude a market. we only have big and XXL iphones now.

That makes Android look better than it is, go to the low end range of phones from each vendor then the release version will start at 2-3 versions behind the latest.

they figured that the 7 would fill that gap, but the problem is that they're old rather than just entry-level. there's currently no option for people who want a smaller and/or cheaper model but still want a phone that supports the newer lte bands for better coverage.

after 6 months of having to carry 2 phones the whole work day and while traveling for work, I’m ready to say fuckit and put my personal stuff on my work phone (which is what 3/4 of people here do already)

I put the 12 beta on my 6s yesterday and it’s the first major iOS update that feels like an improvement since like iOS 6, and maybe the first ever that improved an old phone’s performance.

gonna replace the battery for 29 while I still can and hopefully keep this bitch going for another 2 years. gently caress headphone jack dongles that I’ll constantly lose.

the button is incidental

it's the fact that you have to keep it in portrait mode and take selfies every time you want to unlock it is the problem
