I quite like the Essential phone's solution
- https://www.androidc…********
- i prefer the lg v30 http://www.techradar…trooperbill
- Yep - far better (Essential).fadein11
- ^ nice********
- Aye, I think it looks great - i'm anticipating its European release - will probably jump from my 7.face_melter
- Why? Bottom chin and a weird nub at the top.inteliboy
- Because, incredibly, people like different things for different reasons. Crazy, I know.face_melter
- sprint is the worst provider to partner with, their network is terribleimbecile
- fuck sprint - if its good it will be everywhere.fadein11
- next pixel will put it all to bed anyway. iPhone is a sheeple phone - thats how it got big and will continue until the sheeple get woke.fadein11
- previous was slightly trolly but also true. try android guys. one login, none of the utter shit issues you get with apple cloud / ID / itunes etc. Google madefadein11
- 1 account work perfectly across all it's platforms. never ever had an issue.fadein11
- Apple has become Microsoft.fadein11
- I have used iPhones and Android. I'm not an Apple hater. I was the guy who argued with Windows users 15-20 years ago about Mac's superiority. Times have changedfadein11
- Jobs died and the company has lost direction as a few of us predicted. Its a sheeple brand sustained on a get noticed logo. House of cards.fadein11
- buy direct or buy from sprint.

this phone will flopimbecile - cool well why are you constantly posting in apple threads if your android life is so woke?inteliboy
- as face said - people like things for different reasons. what is annoying isn't the different things, it's fanboys constantly parroting that the other sucks.inteliboy
- sorry I meant no offense. when an object becomes more about what people think about you than what it does for you it may be time to look at other options...fadein11
- Sorry if I offended you.fadein11
- "fanboys parroting..." - Apple invented fanboys lol. I'm not a fanboy, just not a sheep.fadein11
- PIXEL II announcement October 4th, mark your calendar set! :) Could be my next phoneBennn
- and mine when I can afford it and payed off PIXEL I lolfadein11
- Yea I've not had a new phone in two years, my Sony X was great but smashed it. Was going to buy a p10 the other day but will wait to see the pixel 2********
- I like that it's ceramic. Glass is stupid. Can't wait to see the P2, N8 and this in the wild.formed
- The thing that draws me to the Essential is that it looks like a slab of technology. I've been looking for a really nice Android phone for a while now.face_melter
- Tried many - Moto, Sony, Samsung - all have pros and cons be it software or hardware but I think this could be the right combo for me.face_melter
- Stock android on this too********
- yeah - it's really lightweight, no SD card but has 128GB as standard which is cool for me - I only use storage for my music and Google Drive image library.face_melter
- 128GB is nice, I hope stores carry these new phones (P2, etc.)formed
- Will be interesting to see how it'll be available here in the UK. I want one...********

Every Major Advertising Group Is Blasting Apple for Blocking Cookies in the Safari Browser
"Digital ad spending in the U.S. is expected to reach $83 billion in 2017"
- Misleading headline. The new feature only blocks "cookies and other data used for this cross-site tracking", but no other cookies.evilpeacock
- ...plus you can disable it if you're not interested in your own user privacy.evilpeacock
- ^ yupGnash
- Using an adblocker is a mandatory procedure now, on any device. Fuck your insidious tracking shit.face_melter

- Did apple even have stores like that before the iphone?********

- It's because the iphones camera didn't recognize him in his non lizard form.kona

- says the PR department post incident....pretty sure you'd check your most important presentation device prior...formed
- you know, all that 'attention to detail' and all...whooooops!!formed
- okay, so your opinion is that this one incident locks in that the feature is a failure and this is going to be the norm?monospaced
- granted, I agree this was a failure to pay attention to the details, including a phone that was ready to unlock for this guymonospaced
- It's amusing...and perhaps telling, no? The most important part of the show they f' up, then blame the interns...hmmmmformed
- The way people are acting it’s like he had to fuck a dead animal to unlock the thing. No-one outside of reddit gives a shit.face_melter
- Lol that instant sweat.pango
- mono why do take any form of criticism towards apple personally? And why do you feel the need to defend it as if you created the iphone? Pretty funny********
- It's not personal. I don't know why. I don't even like their shit that much. I certainly am not their biggest fan.monospaced
- Maybe I just don't know why people like to rip on them so much when they really aren't that different from anyone else.monospaced
- They pretend they are different - that's the issue.fadein11
- I guess I just used to have such high hopes from Apple so when I do it it's disappointment more than anything********
- Also it's quite funny. They went from absolute industry leaders. Design leaders. But now everything they do is literally laughable it seems.********
- It's testament to how integral to Apple Jobs was********
- It's been said a million times but post-Jobs it hasn't been great or anything "different" yet they still present themselves rather arrogantly as above the restfadein11
- which sadly isn't true anymore. But most of us here aren't the average user - 99% of their customer base by the product for the status/logo.fadein11
- buy*fadein11
- I agree with both of you, but perhaps differently, I never expected them to keep "changing the game" like so many people did.monospaced
- My biggest problem with Apple is their ignorance of and indifference toward the pro creative market in the last decade. We kept them afloat in the '90s!monospaced
- I think facial recognition is dumb AF. What this clip shows is that when strangers, children, or friends look at your phone, they're logging failed unlocks!monospaced
- While Apple's 3D facial thing might be the best yet, the whole concept in general is flawed, fundamentally, regardless of how perfect it is.monospaced
- If I get a notification, and I look at the lock screen to see it, I don't want it to unlock just because I looked. The ways to fuck it up are countless.monospaced
- yep - agree with all of that monofadein11
- especially the part about keeping them afloat in the 90's!fadein11
- I can't in my right mind buy a Mac. I know our work team will roll out new MBPs at some point, and then I'll have a stupid touch bar. Great ... JUST what I needmonospaced
- My 2012 iMac is fucking rad. Gorgeous 27" screen, 4-core i7, and it still does its thing well. The new one is a fortune, and honestly, isn't much better.monospaced
- I HAVE to build a PC (Hackintosh) unless Apple makes something useful.monospaced
- I'm not ready to ditch iOS though. It's great for me and my family and the tiny ecosystem we use in the home (AppleTV, etc). so, the 7 or 8 it is for me.monospaced
- Computer wise I really don't want to go back to Windows however better it is now. I hated leaving Mac's when they went really shitty before.fadein11

"In a review of the Apple Watch Series 3 with cellular, which promises the ability to connect to LTE networks independently from a user’s iPhone, The Verge’s Lauren Goode wrote that the device repeatedly struggled to join a cellular network and would instead remain hung up on “random” Wi-Fi signals. The issue persisted across two separate test units, the review said.
The hangup was significant enough for an Apple spokesperson to provide Goode with a statement acknowledging the issue, in which the company says it is “investigating a fix” for the connectivity problem."

Harvard Study Proves Apple Slows Down old iPhones to Sell Millions of New Models

- I'm convinced Apple trashed our iPhone6s a few days before 7 came out. They worked brilliantly then out of no where both ours stopped workingkona
- with the same issues. touch sensitivity seemed to be off and out of sync with the buttons. random and frequent crashing and freezing.kona
- i kept both phones so the boys could use them and guess what, a few months later they work perfectly again. can't wait for the iphone 8!!! :)kona
- FUCK YOU APPLE!utopian
- why would they trash your iPhone 6 last year but leave literally millions unfazed?monospaced
- Once a new model comes out, don't update kids********
- Not just Apple though. Same thing has happened with my Sony********
- The key is to stick with the os that comes with the phone and to never upgrade. I've had my iphone5 running os7 for years without any issue.hans_glib
- Of course the payoff is incompatibility with new apps and web pages displaying horribly but I can live with that. This phone does all I need, tho I'm hopinghans_glib

The model I use still has the battery removal and replacement possibility.
My question is:
If anyone have the experience of replacing a MacBook Pro battery which battery brand do you recommend?
- I've used batteries from these guys: https://eshop.macsal…evilpeacock
- I bought an official one from a seller in Germany. Replaced it myself - you need a Torx screwdriver for the internals - took me 15 minutes. Very easy.face_melter
- thanks for the link evil********

Strongest glass everrrrrrrrrrrrrr
- I wonder what dopey Apple fanboys downvoted this post?utopian
- Yet to meet anyone that doesn't use some sort of case anyway.Hayzilla
- I don't get the point of glass, it's just gonna break and make it slippery, so you drop it and it breaks. But perhaps that's the point.fyoucher1
- I don't use a case! Never have, don't plan to.zarkonite
- zarkonite, i was always that way too. then when the new phones got heavier and more slippery i was kind of forced to use one.kona
- caseology has the thinest, nicest cases i've ever used.kona
