Yes. Technology is hard; doubly so for wearables.

he sold it in 2006

…damn, Steve Jobs bankrolled a large portion of my childhood and I never even realized.

Well they can’t make a ton of these iirc, and they’re limited to the US. Safe to say, they’ll sell as many as they’ll pump out.

Launch day device at 98%. I don’t baby this thing’s battery, but I am more careful than most.

Regular 15 will easily last 3 years. Heck, I’d expect 4 or 5 out of it. As for the Pro, that’ll probably be good for a year longer, maybe two.

Carmakers might be able to do what nobody else has managed to do so far: Kill the automobile. Everything the industry does seems to point in that direction, at least.

Pokémon Violet, preparing for DLC release

The 15 is probably gonna do huge numbers this year, thanks to the design changes and USB-C. Kinda wish I’d gotten that but I really couldn’t put off an upgrade anymore and got the 14 Pro.

If they can do that without increasing the phone’s size/thickness or compromising its performance and/or battery life, I’d be all for it.

Well, it is what it is. Maybe they could use better glue, idk.

Rossman is a device repairman tbf, he sees the worst of the worst phones out there.

I mean, that sucks for you but pull-tabs are considered ‘repair-friendly’ by pretty much everyone in the Right to Repair movement.

That wasn’t your original point though. Fact is that millions of people who might want a Switch don’t have one.

‘Most people’ don’t have 65” 4K HDR OLED TVs. Also, from my personal experience a ton of people use the dock functionality extensively.

They sold more than 10 million units last year. I assume they’ll end up selling millions this year too.

Highly unlikely. GF wants as many people to buy this game as possible, and I doubt they’ll tie its story to 10+ y/o games that they don’t even sell anymore.

Probably not, they haven’t even released DLC yet.

They’re fixing security issues left and right. Could be them being more diligent for once, could be more exploits that need urgent fixing.

I don’t even get why a removable backplate is necessary when the battery is a ‘once every 2 years’ replacement. Why would I want my phone’s entire design to be compromised for a replacement that my phone will probably only see twice, maybe thrice?

Plus, hot-swappable batteries would carry the risk of people replacing batteries and just tossing away the spare like garbage. At least now, the procedure is restricted to businesses and people who probably have enough sense to recycle the battery.

Dude, Apple uses pull-tabs; their batteries aren’t practically fused to the phone’s chassis like Samsung’s.
