Bulgogi Hoagie posted:also sapphire glass or whatever that actually doesn’t get scratched it turns out sapphire isn't a good phone material since it's so brittle once it does fail instead of getting a little scratch or small crack the whole crystal shatters and when you drop a phone on its edge or corner it's super likely to have enough energy to destroy it apple spent like 5 billion dollars learning this lesson so they use laminated glass instead

The Management posted:the non poor version Apple Watch uses a sapphire display. the sapphire phone screens were scrapped because their manufacturer couldn’t scale their production. apple wouldn’t have committed that much money if they didn’t already test prototypes and verify that it works for them.  no, I don't know the particulars of the whole supplier fiasco but nobody else has even tried yet outside of the comedy vertu option they might get some added strength with a screen bonded to it as well where watch crystals are typically unsupported

46.7 million iphones sold last quarter, mac sales hit a quarterly record of 5.4 million, ipad sales up 14% to 10.3 million, further proof that apple is rapidly declining by selling more products than they ever have and that tim cook is the worst ceo ever

Astoundingly Ugly Baby posted:What exactly was the purpose of the virtual home button on the iPhone 7/8 and then just switching to gestures on the X? Is this just some scheme to increase market share in places where the home buttons were expensive or almost impossible to replace & having a virtual one or no home button at all meant more people would buy iPhones? I once read somewhere that people in China and some markets would use Assistive Touch to avoid putting too much stress on the home button. fewer moving parts is good, people in china were super weird about it and they had to to the haptic thing for 3d touch anyway so why not

infernal machines posted:eyeing the success of htc and occulus, apple is believed to be going all-in on an AR headset and custom OS I don't think you understand what "all in" means, this is a company that spun up an autonomous car company and then spun it down 3 years later without ever telling the press about it, they could spend the whole r&d budget of the hololens monthly and it wouldn't really impact their bottom line

the 13" macbook air was the platonically ideal laptop form factor, people tolerated the old pros because the screens were good but if you ever spent time using an air you just wished they'd put an actual good screen in it the whole time I like my 13" pro butan edition but I miss my air

the sonos one is super crippled, like alexa is only able to interact with amazon music with any smartness; if you're playing spotify or apple music or pandora or tidal or even your own locally stored stuff all it can do is play, pause and skip forward/back the whole point of sonos is that it plays everything [except mqa but that's for idiots]

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

lol still flying that xaml flag the user interface is inseparable from application logic and every attempt to compartmentalize it leads to tons of pointless overhead for everyone, most "apps" are web containers and the ones that use native code still have most of the application logic and data movement happening remote the user interface is the application
