So does all of the tracking that occurs on an Android phone which is why they were first to get a quad-core processor.
Oh for sure! Android's processing power is light years beyond iPhone! I just don't understand why this "Fusion" chip has to limit two of the cores... That's cause they can't figure out how to unlock all four cores.
 
I've been invisible inking and laser showing among my friends for the last four days on the beta of iOS10. It will be huge.

What's hilarious is that the Sky Sports app has worked about 90% on iOS 10 up till now. Now they've released an update which is noted as being to "add iOS 10 compatibility", and now it crashes every time you open it.
 
I know there are many here who consider the additions to Messages to be a bit of a gimmick. I was much in the same boat when watching the keynote.

However in retrospect, this is absolutely massive. iMessage is already a great application — essentially free texts/MMS/videos — but allowing third-party apps is going to be utterly huge and will really lock people into the ecosystem.
You should try Messenger by Facebook. I hate Facebook and never use it but Messenger makes you feel like you're using a couple year old outdated app with the stock Messages app from Apple. Being able to use the web version for Messenger is awesome. Doubt Apple will ever add the experience.
 
What is infantile about developers creating apps, in hopes that they can gain a paid following with some of the iPhone users?

Just because some adults may use apps that you would find demeaning etc. that doesn't necessarily mean said adults are infantile.

There is nothing stopping you from using the iPhone to its fullest extent, given all that is available in the app store.
"given all that is available in the app store" -- And that's the point, what available in the app store is increasingly becoming more infantile.

Here's the bonus point — you don't need to install or use anything that you don't want. It's your device.
Thanks for stating the obvious.

Just because you wouldn't use (names of endless apps here) that doesn't make said apps by definition infantile.

If a developer makes an app that I wouldn't waste my time with, but still manages to make money with said app, I call that person a smart developer. He or she created a product that x amount of people saw fit to buy. Capitalism at work is always a good thing in my economic playbook.

There are more people in the app universe than just you.

iMessage is now FB Messenger how nice... "innovation" or running out of ideas. This mandatory year cycle of phones and OS is really starting to show. I have had iOS 10 from the first beta and the only thing that is worth using is the Lock Notes.
