Dirty_habiT Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 IPhone 6 w/ gray/white Otterbox Defender on IOS 11 update. Phone looks perfectly new whenever I take the case off to clean the case. It's ~2 years old now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprotester Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Still on the s7 edge. The s8 is at the store waiting for me, has been for like a month. I just don't really see why I should bother? Its free but the hassle of getting it set up seems unnecessary. I feel like phones have peaked.

johntemple Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 anyone bought the new iPhone yet? is it worth the upgrade from an 8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty_habiT Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I am not sure I agree on all facets of that statement. We're currently dancing the line between what it is to be a mobile device and what it is to be carrying a tablet in your pocket. Many companies have sold people "small tablets" with cell tower connectivity. If you want the hugest cell phone you can get the ipad's that have a SIM card in them.... but it won't fit in anyone's skinny jeans. My vision for where phones are going is the following: * small'ish device - big enough to use to make phone calls * small usable display * simple design * wireless connectivity to keyboard, mouse, and video (not shitty video either, i'm talking like wireless 4k res and higher) * high amount of disk (1TB+) * high amount of RAM (32GB+) * high number of fast CPU cores (8+ @ 3.0Ghz) A device like that would absolutely smash personal computers for what 95% of everyone uses them for. Think about coming into work and not even taking your phone out of your pocket, or just setting it down onto it's wireless power dock..... and having all of the connectivity and useage of a normal computer you surf on. It would even be strong enough to do gaming, 3d modeling, video editing, music composition, etc. I don't think this is just wishful thinking. As time has proceeded we've seen computers get smaller and faster over and over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty_habiT Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 anyone bought the new iPhone yet? is it worth the upgrade from an 8? The new Iphone IS the 8.... or the X .... whichever you decide fits your needs better. I'm likely going to buy the X when it hits the market but I'm not going to be one of those mouth breathing nerds that waits in line for it at the Apple store. I'll probably wait until Pelican makes a waterproof case for it and then buy both at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As time has proceeded we've seen computers get smaller and faster over and over again. Not sure how soon we'll see this. Pretty amazed at how laggy my topped off brand new macbook pro with touch bar is. My 5 year old desktop smokes this thing, which is now what I expected considering this is supposed to be a pro portable. Phones definitely feel snappy for their intended usage now, but think it might be a while before it has the throughput and all for what you're describing. Assume 5G will have the bandwidth that we might see the dream of centralized processing and dumb terminals that essentially are just input / output, so maybe it can be done that way. But yeah, new macbook pro sort of sucks. Wish apple would keep ignoring the pro desktop segment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misteraven Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Cant stand my iPhone 7, mostly due to all the issues and slowness of the OS, but also cant bring myself to spend money I don't really have on 8. Everyone I know with a X just complains about it. Steve Jobs RIP. Hasnt been the same since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakeenyc Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 got the s8 which is great. has a pulse oximeter in it which amazed the hell out of me. very inefficient one but still really cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnomeToys Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 It has a heart rate sensor too. Samsung's website says they just use an LED emitter & detector to measure slight changes in skin movement during heartbeats, so if they use 700-800nm IR for that they can probably pull a halfway accurate pulse ox reading based on how much light is absorbed vs. what was put out. It wouldn't be as accurate because you'd need a sensor on the other side of the finger or whatever for that part, but you get some kind of baseline reading. The iris scanner / face recognition in those is kind of funny. This thread on Samsung's site is hilarious and says something about how much crap is being tied into the limited near IR spectrum: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S8-Questions-and-Answers/S8-IR-Emission/td-p/161240 Quote I have a ceiling fan & light with remote control in my bedroom. If I leave my S8 face up in the room after a couple of minutes it will transmit something and put the fan in max speed and the light on. Quote I have the same problem with my S8 and Klipsch R-20B Soundbar. My S8 will cause the soundbar to power on and increase volume to 100%. Its ridiculous. No one with an S8 or similar phone, like my girlfriends Pixel 2 XL can walk into my living room with thier phone without activating the Soundbar, which also instantly and automatically blasts the volume. I have to return the soundbar and sub. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

methamphetamyne Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Gonna upgrade next week from an iPhone 7s. I'm looking at an S9 or an iPhone X but I don't know what to choose. Any tips or any user information I should know about both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALIgula Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 if you go with the s9, i'd get the s9+ instead....but wait a bit because the price should be dropping any week now. samsung is also taking pre-orders for the samsung note 9 ...they did an unpacking event 3 days ago in brooklyn....it semms like its going to be a pretty dope phone, but the 128GB is gonna cost $1,000 and the 512GB is going to be about $1,200....thats pretty steep as far as im concerned. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man. What would be the original price as opposed to the new price? I'm really considering the s9/s9+ since a couple of my friends have been really recommending them.
