50 New Features in iPhone X

Yes, basic math. c^2 = a^2 + b^2 and area = ab/2. So, picking a for example, a = sqrt(c^2 - b^2) and thus A = b*sqrt(c^2-b^2)/2. Area is a function of the hypotenuse with the caveat that b can take any value as long as b < c. This is why the iPhone X has a mathematically larger surface area. You can't beat math.

Wow.
You do realize you need to compare A1 to A2. Which means b for each triangle actually does matter. Your proof doesn't actually prove what you're saying. It does show that you know how to isolate variables in equations, though.

I'm not going to keep replying to this anymore after this, but if you'd rather try it for yourself than listen to an explanation, calculate the areas and diagonals of a 10"x1" rectangle and a 5"x5" rectangle.

I don’t care what “everyone else” thinks. There’s always the 75% of people who will defend/fawn over Apple no matter what. I love Apple but I also don’t have blind loyalty.

Your comments in this thread make it clear you're not a fan of the new iPhone X. The good news is, you don't have to buy one. Your opinion is just that: one opinion (based solely on pics and videos and text on the web, and apparently not on any personal experience with the device). Just like so many Apple products in the past that the minority complained about, iPhone X sales will prove that despite your opinion to the contrary, the new phone will be immensely popular and enjoyed by millions of people who don't expect perfection in any man-made device.

You can't please all the people, all the time. Fortunately, Apple doesn't need to try. They're obviously meeting the needs of millions of people, enough that they keep buying and using their imperfect products.

So you're just going to keep making adjustments to your arguments until you're right and are basically in agreement with me? Not on my watch. You clearly said that you can't have a friggin triangle with less surface area than a triangle with a shorter hypotenuse. YOU SAID THAT. Inelegantly, I might add

The only caveat is that b must be lower than c. It doesn't change that the math proves that the surface area is larger which is something you calculated yourself. You can't beat math.

My post specifically says that b must be lower than c.

Can i just say that my lady is totally happy with her X upgrade from her 6s. My son is happy with his 6s upgrade from his 5. And them being happy is the best thing. And i am happy with my SE. It's like a total lovefest in my house and all you geeks can just give up. I'm sure my son is already drooling over the X he will get in 3 years. Everybody happy is what it is all about. Features smeatures. MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY that is all that matters. Oh, and go 'canes beat nd.
