No you won't change your mind. I know people like you, you won't. For whatever reason, and this is just based off old posts of yours, you take grave personal offense to when people spend money on things that aren't carrying the best price to performance. Whatever the cause for your insecure nature, it's there. You and your kind come into threads like this for the sole purpose of stirring up nonsense and hiding behind "opinions", you aren't happy otherwise. You've got insecurities with people spending money on things they don't need - welcome to real life. Don't take it so personally that people don't buy half price Asus laptops, that's their call. I Could give you a million use cases and you'd still irrationally hate it for an arbitrary reason. That's just who you are. I've noticed it in your posts. If it doesn't have the best price to performance, it's not worth it. That's your prerogative. Don't force it on everyone else and don't get upset when someone calls it out, just saying. It would be easier to take you seriously if your posting history wasn't composed of irrational Apple hatred. Which is something you have in common with a few others here. There's reasonable discourse and then there's what you do, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, I'm sure others at this point just don't like engaging with you because of your needlessly confrontational stance against these kinds of topics.

Your strawman level is legendary

Lol. Google and Apple have done this for years and have gotten more invasive as time has gone on. MS launches right at the same point Google and Apple are now with respect to how invasive they are, suddenly it's a problem. And Canada, you have no room to judge when your agencies have unlimited access to your citizens information and can track whatever they want. Pot. Kettle. Grow up everyone.

You're saying everything I can't type out right now, full agreement. . It takes less power to just have multiple 4K streams running and cutting/pasting clips than it does to actively edit a 4K stream with effects, colour correction, and anything advanced. Plus, Apples demo highlighted how it can have multiple 4K streams going concurrently WITHOUT DROPPING FRAMES which is a huge thing on its own. 4K is just plain demanding for any hardware, so props where props are due. In for far as Force Touch, it's a little more than right click. It's not even long press. It's pressure based, which gives a faster tactile response. You don't press longer. You press harder, some people have trouble here. iOS 9s multitasking leverages this quite nicely, but that would mean these people actually using the new iPhone and iPad which they can't, which means we've got a bunch of shit talkers. Seriously. This was a simple thread about specs. That's it. Nothing more. What the fuck with wrong with some of you that you just need to turn it into a DAE APPLE CANT INNOVATE IS EXPENSIVE FOR SHEERP DIRRR SURRR SURUURUEUSKQKN garbage posting spree? I don't get it. Are you that insecure if what you (and others) use for tech that you need to attack them and the companies? Grow up kids. Learn to debate without a bundle of straw.

I think until the iPhones jump to 1440p (who knows, they might strike a deal with Samsung to et 1440p OLED displays for the 7, we can hope at any rate) that 2GB for how iOS runs, might be enough for a few years. 1GB hit its limit last year with the 6+, so its tough to say how much life they can get out of 2GB especially if we get another resolution bump.

Id go with Spigen Slim. Spigen in general is god-tier for their case quality and support.

https://twitter.com/hamzasood/status/643092816315445248/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Honestly? Just get the Apple Leather cases. Not overpriced, worth every penny. The one from my 5S STILL is together and I suspect that my current midnight blue one will last for at least a few more years. They're just awesome, and they age wonderfully (especially if you get the brown ones, my god those get nice aging)

Most will be fine, as their tolerances are amusingly bad for case specs. Leather cases, TPU - whatever. You're okay. The thin ones? I'd hold off till someone tests. I have a Air Skin from Spigen so that's not going to work on the new one. Battery cases might also be problematic. Anything hard really. Also, for all the spec warriors who absolutely need specs on everything - iPhones both have 2GB and iPad Pro has 4GB of RAM. Enjoy. I know I can now sleep soundly at night.

Xcode confirmed it today, the iPhones now both have 2GB and the Pro has 4GB. Apple was killing it with only 1GB in the phones, curious to see how they and developers can play with double that. The Pro needs 4GB. If they're gonna push creativity on any level then 4 is borderline for AutoCAD or photoshop or illustrator work of any level. Nice to see they didn't skimp and only give it 2 or 3

Because people like old things. Like those crazy people who actually like carb engines or ancient 3 on a tree gearboxes. Those people. WE don't associate with those people. SSDs getting cheaper is only a good thing. Flash tech will only get cheaper. Flash tech has the benefit of, unlike spinning platters, in that there is no 'ceiling' on the performance in development terms. Every year you get newer tech that gives you faster speeds and better yields. That'll keep on happening for YEARS IMHO. Thats why SSDs aren't tanking in a manner we like. Simply too new and too developed on a yearly basis to free fall. But for average SSDs, we are already at under a dollar per gig. Thats great if you need a small boot drive (just swapped out my parents laptops for 120GB Crucials at 70 dollar a pop, not bad at all eh?) I myself got stupidly lucky a couple years ago and got a 480GB drive for 300.

IIRC a sensor will just use a specific sensor region OR supersample the information. TBH this isn't something I've ever considered but I think Ill go give it a read. I would assume that if a sensor was large enough (higher MP count especially) that it could leverage supersampling in some manner, though the performance cost might be astronomical. Maybe its really just the performance angle. Smaller sensors typically only have enough lines for the video resolution in question and nothing more, better performance as you have less heat generation and less noise as a result. DSLRs and their kind have huge sensors, massive amounts of information going through and substantial heat generation which may sour the proceedings. Im just spitballing here with limited knowledge, I really need to go read up on this as I am interested in how a camera like the A7R II can do 4K internal with its massive sensor but the A7S II only needs 12mp for 4K. though in that regard, the S is a low light fiend on a level that no other camera currently in the full frame sphere can come near.

I expected this level of idiocy from Reddit, why minimized my time there and looked elsewhere. The hive minded circlejerk on the technology, android, Apple AND Pcgaming subredditS is cringe worthy. But you guys? Jesus. The amount of personal anger some of you have towards Apple, and your blatant Trolling in this thread as a result, is a little worrying. Seriously, this much hate over something that doesn't affect you, won't be bought by you and will largely have zero bearing on your future.

Sea salt and chlorine will nuke rubber seals, hence why Sony so very clearly states that their new phones with the flapless USB covers can only handle mild soakings, not full on dunking. I guess you could go for a dunk in fresh water, if you wanted to.

Welcome to real life where ideals like that don't work and get you nowhere in the corporate game. Like I already said, they aren't going to pay what it costs to run their own venture. Yea, companies have put a price on human life and decency. Don't tell me you just realized that?

Nintendo is like your 80 year old grandfather who doesn't quite understand any technology or the internet in general. Its sad that the executive branch of Nintendo is so out of touch with todays marketplace. Then again,its how Japanese companies do businesses. They don't like having individual branches have their own power. Everything needs to be centralized (ask Sony and specifically Sony North America how that works - it doesn't). They can't adapt to change because socially they are incapable of it. You literally need the last few generations to die off and be replaced with kids raised under a more modern Japan to understand that the way thing done now require differing viewpoints and each region needs to have the power to operate on its own accord.

Do what about it? Shift production to North America? Yea, they already did it with one product, the product that carries their highest margins, because thats how expensive the shift is to North American or even European production. I don't think you guys understand how little companies like to pay for increased production costs. They don't. The mandate is to maintain to increase margins, decreasing margins requires one iron clad justification (like when Apple shifted the Mac Pro over to North America). Furthermore, even Apple couldn't afford the production scale to shift over all their production elsewhere and do it on their own. It is maddeningly expensive. Apple would effectively have to run a small city just to produce everything on their own. They could do something, if they wanted to piss away a 50 billion dollars to do it. No one wants to do that. The day they leave is the day China becomes too expensive for them. Thats all it is. Stop acting like Apple can influence anything. Do you think anyone outside of the internet gives a shit that these factories in China exist? Your tech, your TVs, your clothing; no one cares. Lets stop painting one company as the literal devil for being there.

Yea, you'd quit a job that at minimum allows you to earn 800 or more an hour. Sure you would.

China accusing someone else of tax evasion? Pot. Kettle. Black? No wait, its Space Grey these days. Ignore him, he's been on the Anti-Apple nonsense spree the past few days in all the threads. Kinda amusing, how someone can hate something so bad over petty reasons.

I won't be satisfied till we have full blown GPUs that are as big as a M.2 SSD.

I wish I lived as sheltered a life as you. Marketers do their jobs to market their product. This now makes them scum? Lol. This is the price of business. You have to pay to get your product out in front of the masses - no one will give you free exposure. Nothing of this magnitude is free. Marketing is not cheap, whether its for a game or another product or a service. You want people outside of the niche corners to know who you are? You need primetime coverage so normals like everyone who doesn't spend time on the internet will know your product exists and what it does. LMAO. I guess I am scum of the Earth? I hold hefty shares in a lot of companies, I actively enjoy seeing said companies increase their profits so my dividends can perhaps follow suit, along with the obvious benefit of being able to sell for a healthy profit on my shares. Man, people like you are something else.

Another developer ruining the franchise? Lol. Half Life hasn't been relevant in nearly a decade. No one cares. It USED TO be the hot shit standard for story based FPS games but not anymore. It's not anything. It would be in Valves benefit to give the game to said developer who actually made blockbuster game in Last of Us. That was a very good game, with very good character development and progression in the story. HL3 would need completely revamped gunplay and some seriously compelling campaign action for people to care. HL3s development and lack thereof is a industry joke

OP is a wholly owned division of OPPO. What manufacturing issues? They have none. They could EASILY make 250k batches at a time but no, that wouldn't keep their name in the press. Thai invite system keeps their #HYPE at appropriate levels in the media. God forbid we ever stop talking about them and their silly decisions. The Moto X is better and you can actually BUY IT. The Nexus 6 is a true flagship killer with its hilarious 350/399 price on Amazon. Even Samsung is having a fire sale on the S6 these days with sub 600 pricing in some cases. OP isn't worth the hassle of either getting an invite or overpaying for one on eBay or another 3rd party seller. It's android. We have options. Better options, to be honest.

I thought the current circlejerk was anything running Linux and a AMD fire starter? /s I do agree on the SP4. Should be quite the upgrade and well worth having. My only hanging point is pen sensitivity. Would prefer to not have to carry my Wacom around just to get that kind of precision.

Here I thought the PCMR thing was a joke, not that people outside of it actually cared so much... Anyways, nice to see he hasn't stopped trolling even after having posts nuked. Some people just don't know when the joke stopped being funny and the crowd moved on to something else.
