That literally doesn’t make any sense. When Samsung announced it was going to 5 years it didn’t update all the stuff in the past. It’s a new thing starting with the new devices. They might give a little extension to devices still getting updates, but devices that already stopped getting updates are likely to have been upgraded from already and possibly harder to continue supporting.
The front panel is finally flat.
“which is why most PoS devices don’t support swipe anymore”
huh?
However, it appears that at least two additional cities have gone live. One confirmed location is Houston, Texas, where Apple Maps now includes a rich 3D with custom-designed views including NRG Stadium, Minute Maid Park, Toyota Center, and Shell Energy Stadium. Apple has also introduced the detailed city experience feature to Dallas, Texas.
Them realizing they can just reuse the chip for the following year’s base model probably felt like such a powerful moment for them. I can’t even argue with them about scumminess, because genuinely the performance increase is so negligible and the A series is already so ahead of the pack that this is honestly helpful.
Apple is trying to find a way to get at least some iPhone 15 buyers to get new chargers from them. However, if it’s limited to Pros, people most likely will already have an Apple branded 35W or higher charger from their Mac or iPad, which a Pro user is more likely to have.
They can’t pull their old shenanigans anymore. They’re not going to be making as much revenue off of their accessories now and will likely have to lean into their services to continue to make endless profit. Lightning cables will ofc still sell for older units, but not anymore for newer ones, trickling out in the next few years.
Id expect an Apple Music price increase soon.
This would absolutely be enough to upgrade, barring some stupid sacrifice like the battery now being half the size or something.
Especially for the only model in their lineup you use with a pen. Can’t begin to tell you how often lines at the edge of the screen get fucked by the curve.
Definitely a failure on Microsoft’s part that will make anyone wary of trying the inevitable foldable and slab phones they’ll release. You don’t have to declare a Duo 3 is coming or anything right now, but you have to say that you’re supporting the device that came out less than 2 years ago.
It’s so weird that Continuum mode didn’t make it, but the Lenovo ThinkPhone seems to be getting it.
Finally. This is my favorite side effect of the advent of foldables - more people seeing the big tablet landscape mode of apps, and thus the fact that so many apps are incompatible coming to light.
My fiancee is in love with the Touch Bar so I hope they don’t.
I disagree. Gestures are better.
It’s subjective. I have no problem one handed and think it’s fewer accidents because it takes more than just a tap to trigger.
That said I’m on Samsung where the gestures are amazing. I still don’t get the appeal of other brands that all have worse update lifetime, worse UI goodies, etc.
S22U user here. I’d almost never recommend someone upgrade from the 22 to the 23.
However, if you’re coming from something older right now, the things to keep in mind if you take up the 22 over the 23 is:
As someone probably planning to keep their phone for a while if your last phone was a V30, I’d take that into huge consideration when you pick. With the S23U, you could get it, have it for as many years as that V30 has been out, and still be getting your last updates.
While I’m not itching for an app, as I’m just using the built-in home page shortcut functionality in my browser, which launches the web page basically as its own app (no URL bar), I look forward to this and Boost for Lemmy. Way back when, I was a Sync user. If this drops first, I could see myself using that again.
Fingers crossed for good trade deals from Watch 4 Classic to Watch 6 Classic/Pro, and from Tab S8 to Tab S9.
Samsung was the leader. Google had to respond after years of being behind someone that doesn’t even work directly on the OS. Doesn’t stop Samsung being a leader if they change and go even farther.
