- great, mark thinks one phone is better than the other hahaMiguex
- some guy named markMiguex
- Why is Mark writing for Tom's Guidedbloc
- lolinteliboy
- "It's the Easiest Phone to Use" trumps everything. My mom and dad use it and so does yours.
Also, Mark writes for Tom's Guide because he's a submissive bottom.ideaist - Mark is Candy's boyfriendGnash
- The writer failed to mention that iPhones have prettier colours, clickier buttons, and shinier glass.face_melter

- There's no headphone jack and there won't be one again. So dumb.sarahfailin
- 1st page and 5 years ago people were bitching that they got rid of the optical drive. in 5 years we'll laugh about ear bud cords.fooler
- nup, will still be annoying then. don't fuck with audio standards that have been around for decades.inteliboy
- I LOVE bluetooth headphones, they're just not ready yet. Don't last long, and break when you sweat, even the expensive "waterproof" ones.fyoucher1
- ^ I thought having no audio jack would be a pain, but far from it - I have wired for the office and my B&O bluetooth ones for elsewhere. Works for me.face_melter
- One more thing to charge it gets annoying.pango
- I charge mine while at work with my PC, plug them in, put them away when they're done. Hardly annoying in the grand scheme of things.face_melter
- no minijack. no minijack issue.pango
- bluetooth headphones are the real deal. I have the jaybird x2 and x3s (freebies) and they last surprisingly long and through my zoomba classes, er,kona
- uh, major alpha super training mega workout classes and sweat.kona

- although that dongle doesn't look that bigMiguex
- how would you go about doing 3 outputs from this thing?Miguex
- that's a hot dongle.
Apple should just supply something like that alongside their laptops - keep everyone happy.detritus - the next mbp will require a thunderbolt 3 dongle to connect to thunderbolt 4hotroddy

Someone at work pointed out that the TSA could just grab your phone, point it at your face and open it without asking for your password.
It's not like I'd ever fuck with the TSA by refusing to open my phone, but interesting point nonetheless.
- Cops could do that to an unconscious suspect.monospaced
- Cant, you need your eyes open and I'm sure it won't work if you force them.ArmandoEstrada
- ohmonospaced
- Can't you just not use the face recognition. Fuck, I don't even lock my phone.section_014

Sell your stock. Apple is going down, baby!

Apple Watch, over one hour of talk time.
That's right, over ONE HOUR.
You probably though it could only do 15-30 minutes.
How wrong you were!
It's over ONE HOUR.

Your mom and pop probably thinks Apple just invented 3D facial unlocking, but they're wrong, the Samsung S8 has both iris and facial recognition tech for unlocking your phone already.

- *yawnmonospaced
- You probably think Samsung invented it then?monospaced
- Prably notBennn
- Bennn the android vegan. we get it already.inteliboy
- also, how's that working out for you pal? https://arstechnica.…inteliboy
- My Mom and Pop think that Bennn thinks samsung invented 3d facial recognitionMiguex
- It is really shitty how Apple unveils stuff as revolutionary when in fact all been done before. It's the arrogance that bothers me.fadein11
- Samsung didn't sell their facial unlock as a security feature, and specifically told people not to expect it to work well. It was a gimmick, admittedly.monospaced
- Apple didn't claim to invent it, but their implementation with 3D is somewhat game-changing, as it will actually work as intended. Not revolutionary, functionalmonospaced
- the only people who keep going on about Apple inventing stuff are the people whining that Apple say they invent stuff.inteliboy
- I'm not the target audience for this at all, I won't buy it, but I'm blown away by how many people purposefully misunderstand the basic facts about itmonospaced
- Apple takes something and turns it into something else that everyone goes woo for. Job done.see_thru
- ffs, if they didn't broadcast a live announcement presentation it wouldn't even be a big dealmonospaced

Wait what?

Freedom calls.
Answer a call from your surfboard. Ask Siri to send a message. Stream your favorite songs on your run. And do it all while leaving your phone behind. Introducing Apple Watch Series 3 with cellular. Now you have the freedom to go with just your watch.11. Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) requires an iPhone 6 or later with iOS 11 or later. Apple Watch and iPhone service provider must be the same. Not available with all service providers. Roaming is not available outside your carrier network coverage area. Wireless service plan required for cellular service. Contact your service provider for more details. Check www.apple.com/watch/cellular for participating wireless carriers and eligibility.
- so why do you still need it paired to an iphone if it has cellular?dbloc
- You pair it first so it can use your phone number for the cell part - the pairing is for syncing contacts, content etc.face_melter
- Ugh, I have an iphone 5sinstrmntl
- game changerdbloc
- That's actually kinda cool. So you could have two people accessible from a single Phone number. One has a phone, one has a watch.monNom
- I wonder if you can connect more than one watch to a phone...?monNom

Why they couldn't squeeze the speaker and camera into a thin bezel at the top is beyond me.Hayzilla - how literal can white bars be?Gnash

- Perhaps the cultural reaction to the void of a God-like arbiter such as Jobs has bequeathed Apple a culture of compliant passivity where no one questions?detritus

I think Apple will fix the notch in the next release. They will call it ‘Precision edge-to-edge’.
- Is the X a separate anniversary edition or is it ongoing as a separate special edition from the normal line of phones?monospaced
