    How to turn off update message: iPhone?

    Update it to get all the awesome new spyware and hidden built-in garbage. You don't want to be running outdated spyware do you? That's worse than new spyware.

    Sony Is Struggling With PlayStation 5 Price Due to Costly Parts

    Right, the cost isn't just $500. You also need to purchase a new game or two, maybe an extra controller as well. And then add sales tax and you are at $700 or so. That is a lot of money to fork over for a system that looks marginally better than the current consoles. Especially when the current...

    Here is some Minecraft RTX

    I'd totally agree with that. I follow the graphics updates and whatever but these days, I can hardy see any improvements other than framerate and higher res which may or may not mean anything. Take a game that way made to have crappy graphics as a design language and then add on new hotness and...

    Here is some Minecraft RTX

    He's saying only little girls and boys play Minecraft so no one cares about RTX on Minecraft who has actually $ to pay for it.

    Next Gen Consoles

    Lol, almost no one would pay $1000 for a console over a phone. Phones are used everyday, all day. A console, not so much.

    Frys going out of Business

    They are probably paying their staff with credit. Declare bankruptcy, don't need to pay back the credit and banks lose their investment.

    Surface Duo (Christmas 2020)

    Competition is always good. But with MS the competition is with the business market. And no one is asking for a dual screen business phone. This is MS throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping something sticks. Windows 10 10, Nuo/Duo, maybe something sells.

    Are iOS and Android our only options for a while?

    It has an app store that developers don't write for. Win32 development is dead. And a jack of all trades, master of none device isn't something that would sell. No one is looking for a 3rd ecosystem and especially one with full blown Windows on it - all the problems of Windows, now on your phone!

    Are iOS and Android our only options for a while?

    True "pay when you need it" options for GSM tablet

    With Google Fi you can get an optional data sim to use when you need to. But I believe you need to already have their service first.

    Google Pixel 3

    You can't really expect a non-biased review from XDA can you? That's like expecting a non-biased review from Jon Gruber for iPhones.

    Picked up an iP XS yesterday...

    I hear you. Maybe try re-training FaceID again to learn your facial features? I was really surprised that in a dark room, laying on my side, with a blanket covering half my head that FaceID could recognize me. Maybe I was just lucky in the first scan. I know with TouchID I had to add the same...

    Google Pixel 3

    There's also the fact that the hardware that Wear OS runs on hasn't been updated in 3 years. Its a tough sell to consumers when you put out the same hardware every year with nothing new - no speed improvements, no better battery life, no shrinking of the device. Qualcomm screwed the Android...

    Picked up an iP XS yesterday...

    The one thing I notice all the time is how awesome Face ID is compared to Touch ID. I thought I would hate Face ID but it has worked 100% of the time. I could be lying on my side, or have a hat on, or in complete darkness, or have half my face covered by a blanket and it will always work to...

    Picked up an iP XS yesterday...

    I picked up an XS Max to replace an iPhone 8 and the XS feels so much faster than the 8. The battery life is so much better and the camera is outstanding. No regrets at all. this phone is just a work of art and a masterpiece.

    When you get your new iPhone X - Clean Install or Restore from Backup?

    I believe that if you do a secure backup with iTunes then restore to the new phone you get almost everything copied over - imessages, sessions, soft tokens restored, etc.

    Anyone else able to secure an iPhone 8 tonight?

    Comparing the pics that were taken after the fact on a 28” 4k screen and also on my iPad pro. There’s less bright sun bursts in the pics on the 8 than the SE. But it’s what I would expect on a phone/camera with 2 year new optics and processing. However, battery life doesn’t seem as good on the...

    TPCast Pre-Order?

    I have no idea. Obviously, customs can’t open every box that flows through. I’ve read posts from others that ordered goods from China that didn’t have an FCC logo or meet FCC certification requirements and was sent back.

    TPCast Pre-Order?

    Customs won’t allow it to be imported into the US and will hold and send it back. Unless they don’t inspect it and it makes it through.

    Anyone else able to secure an iPhone 8 tonight?

    Purchased an iPhone 8 to replace my SE that I’ve been using for the past year. I miss the physical size of the SE but the 8 screen is much nicer and brighter, the OS is faster opening and switching apps, and the camera takes much sharper pics with better color and contrast.

    Why so excited for the iPhone X ? It's the same old thing running boring iOS

    I gave my 6S+ to a friend last year and got an SE for myself. The 4” size is perfect for me, it fits easily into my front pocket and doesn’t buldge and show. The camera on it is great and so is the battery life.

    Why so excited for the iPhone X ? It's the same old thing running boring iOS

    App owners can already do this. My banking apps, LastPass, Dropbox, and a Journaling app all are set to require Touch ID to open them after the phone has already been unlocked.

    Amazon Prime : Worse than I suspected

    Amazon doesn't own the right to the content so they are at the mercy of the studios and content owners. Its the same for everyone and everything. You have pretty high expections for an American company who's priority is the American market first and foremost. Netflix has had a lot of growing...
