Kirios posted:At this point I'd be surprised if the next SE wasn't in a Mini frame. Current rumour is its going to be the 12's frame with a 6.1" screen, so the last bastion of smallphone is going away. Also I expect the separate app for classical is just as much about knowing the kinds of people who've been raging about it not being out yet for months are the type who'll be really annoying about having to scroll past the drat kids music to find their Bach or whatever. njsykora fucked around with this message at 16:34 on Mar 11, 2023 |

At least 128gb is the baseline now and not an effectively mandatory upgrade.

Mister Facetious posted:Isn't Razer poo poo some of the consistently worst made products you can buy froma build quality standpoint Their bread and butter stuff like keyboards, laptops etc are perfectly fine but anything they haven't been making for over 5 years like their phones should be avoided. They just have a nasty appetite for trend chasing.

I looked up upgrade prices on my phone carrier here in the UK for the 15s and I think I might actually get a Pro when it's still less than £50 a month.

Rolo posted:I’ve been wanting what they’re calling Standby for like 15 years. My first smartphone was the Motorola Atrix, aka the phone they sold as a laptop replacement that came with a dock you could use and connect a keyboard and mouse (that I still have) into. I never used it for that but the stand did charge the phone and prop it up so sat happily next to my bed for the entire time I owned it. I absolutely want a stand to use a phone like an alarm clock again.

You should look at the thread we have for them as well.

My main problem looking at the woven cases is that the colours suck. I should probably just get a clear case but also I hate the visible magsafe ring on them.

Vegetable posted:I’m just surprised no one seems to have pretended to already have a full review available a Seems like most of the big tech Youtubers got it but gotta milk the new iPhone for all the views so they're gonna split everything up as much as possible. Only reason I bet most people aren't just doing unboxing videos is because the unboxing takes about 20 seconds and you can't stretch talking about a braided cable far enough to make an algorithm satiating video. So you have your first impressions video, your review video, camera comparison video, possibly gaming video since I've seen a few people talk about Apple including an early version of Resident Evil 8 on the Pro review units.

If budget is no issue, get the Pro. Then it's just a question of do you want normal or big Pro.Snuffman posted:Brain worms moment, Closest I've found is something like this Anker dock for iPads, I'm kinda hopeful someone does make a simple dock like that old lightning dock at some point. Rolo posted:Yeah same. I should give it another shot but the amount of times it tried to push Drake on me makes it hard. I've never had Drake pushed on me, but I did consider unsubscribing when it dropped the Ed Sheeran song from Ted Lasso in my New Music playlist.

Taima posted:Oh hey by the way, interestingly there have been some big updates to the wired buds in concert with the 15 release that is worth knowing. The Lightning buds have a DAC built in too, I believe the same one that’s in the 3.5mm dongle. The wired buds have basically always supported lossless, because they’re wired. Any upgrade is more likely from Apple getting better at tuning headphones and improvements in DACtech in the years since the Lightning buds than anything specifically different in the chip itself. Though I’ll always hold that the Earpods have always been good, they just suck for walking around with. I have a pair by my bed basically at all times because they’re pretty good bedphones.

Snowy posted:Same here, I love them for that. I keep backups in case of emergency I literally have 3 pairs of 3.5mm ones that I've ended up with. The pair I got with my iPod Nano back in 2008 that still work, the pair I got with my 7th gen iPod Touch and a pair that came sealed with a bulk lot of iPods I bought in 2020. Then my Lightning ones from my SE and I'm probably going to get the USB-C ones too because I've found my 3.5mm ones with a USB-C dongle work very nicely with my headphone jackless VR headset.

I immediately set the action button to the torch, no more accidentally taking the phone off silent. Also immediately started up Honkai Star Rail and yep that'll run maxed out at 120fps.

TACD posted:Since I'm already going whole hog "old man yells at cloud" over camera bumps it occurs to me that the hero image for the iPhone 15 is basically a centrefold porno spread of the camera bump: The real horror is realising not that camera bumps are a status symbol, but the entire visual identity of the phone. Samsung (the quintuple bump), Google (the camera shelf) and Apple (camerasquare) have all made their camera bumps the defining visual image of their phones.

GATOS Y VATOS posted:I’m honestly baffled why those didn’t sell very well (according to Apple)- they were really good looking They were way too expensive for what they were. I'm not used to the phone size still after 3 years of an SE, but I'm learning gestures pretty well even if the app switcher gesture is kinda dumb. I am enjoying how on screen controls in games are way more useable on a bigger screen though, I can actually play Genshin semi-competantly now.

Weedle posted:mad respect for playing genshin on an se. that’s dedication Those commissions aren't going to do themselves. Still need to fiddle with settings though, high settings at 30fps is probably best for battery but dammit I got home from work with 60% I have energy to spare give me 60fps. Honkai Star Rail at 120 is completely needless though.

They probably do that because watching videos is probably the most draining thing most people do with their phone. I was trying to thrash mine yesterday with Genshin and max speaker volume music and Youtube at work. Still got home with 20% left.

Rageaholic posted:I'm guessing the "console level gaming" from the keynote (Resident Evil, Assassin's Creed, The Division) would also drain the battery rather quickly. But are those even available yet? They gave reviewers a preview build of RE8 but the RE ports I think are out next month. I'm expecting the battery life playing them to be the same story as other handhelds like the Switch and Steam Deck at max demand, 2-3 hours at most. That's about what Genshin Impact at max settings or a 3DMark stress test will do.
