He's been reminded a few times that most of his list is wrong. but he doesn't care. some people would rather stick their fingers in their ears and keep believing myth

Huawei's Dual-Camera P9 Hints at What Apple Might Have in Store for iPhone 7 Plus

I've dealt with many people like him in forums, no matter how much proof is out in the world, they just ignore as if it never happened.
Please remind me again. And provide some proof.

The same goes for you. List any mobile phone with NVMe.
iPhone at one point in time was described as “It’s like a beautiful old Leica camera” by Steve Jobs. Now, Huawei apparently is co engineering with Leica.
Phone times they are a changin' it appears. This is the same kind of stuff that was happening with the Mac years ago -- Little innovation. High pricing. Poor design principles. And then the near death experience saved at one minute to midnight.
Get it together Apple, please! And that doesn't mean partnering with other brands, it means improving your brand back to stellar heights well and above other brands. We don't want to be anywhere near midnight ever again and prefer the clock set at 9:41am instead.
Problem I see is that there isn't much to improve upon for everyday work with the current (outdated)product line up.
My 2007 17" (sniff) MBP is still going great after I put an SSD in and higher mem chips.
My 2014 MBP 15.4 is also fine after I put a 1 GB SSD in it.
So, where would one go, faster chips ok, retina is already there.
I don't do desktop any more and I think that will be the way of the future for the"home crowd"
Pro and mini seem abandoned. iPod dead!
Apple Watch, not for me ,
new iPhone every 4 years works for me and I do not need a new shape/design,
just for changes sake.
Better pictures, 2 cameras, ok. I'll get it when I buy the 8S.
iPad Pro, I can see that in my future, if they put on the real macOS and make a LARGE version.
Services: Nah, dropbox is great, music: I am not listening to much any more. (I know, just me)
iCloud: I dont do much cloud.
So, only thing Apple has going for it right now is their eco system, but that is getting eroded by Android etc. launching similar stores.
Heck , even Windoof 10 is getting better reviews these days.
The car, maybe , if ever and very very late.
Without a visionary (a designer is not a visionary), we may go to 5 minutes after 12 soon.
And, that assessment is from somebody who likes and will stay with Apple to the bitter end.
I may be getting old, but when I saw the video my first thought was - "oh my, they have pimple faced teeny boppers doing reviews now." Never even noticed the shirt. Next thing you know they will have the nine year old girl from the WWDC doing the reviews.
BTW - to Matt, please do not take offence by the remarks from an old fuddy duddy.
Funny you'd call it spin after you mention that some of fashion's most highly regarded brands aren't respected and that the most profitable company in the world is in trouble while also talking about their high margins which is a sign of a healthy, not troubled business. I didn't think it was necessary to read beyond that.
utter nonsense. thats just, like, youre opinion, man. not fact.
iPhone 7 Plus only? = epic fail
Worse probably only the Pro version at a +$1000,= price point
You know "Pro" ...
Is this a joke or an actual thing? It looks like the phone has major outbreak of herpes.
Then you should your time on HTC, Samsung, or other news sites. Fact.
I'm curious about parallax problems. With wide angle photos and distant objects it should not be a problem but would be terrible for close ups. I'll be interested in seeing this but for now I'd rather have a single camera as is expected for the iP7.
How could you add an external lens to this? I'm looking forward to the OOWA lens coming as a Kickstarter campaign.

I've used some cheap external lenses before and find that between a 2x and 4x lens is helpful in many cases to capture features rather than wide scenes.
What do people mean by DSLR quality? A lot of the benefit of a DSLR is the kind of glass you use which will not apply to the iPhone.
Apps like Cortex Cam can help a lot with noise in still life scenes.
Attached is a photo of a pelican taken at 135mm with a Canon 40D. It will be a long time before we get pictures like this with a smart phone, mostly because of the glass. The lens alone weighs over a pound. (Pismo Beach pier)

You say a long time, but I don't believe DSLR quality will ever be capable in a smart phone.
This pelican picture is not very challenging (good lighting and still subject).
Try capturing motion in low light with a smart phone (then look at it on a screen bigger than an iPhone/iPad). Garbage.
You can not change the laws of physics.
I don't entirely disagree with you. I am a physicist and learned to be careful about making absolute pronouncements. There is no telling what sort of sensor could be developed given enough time and money.
The pelican was up on a light pole so an iPhone would need some good glass to pull it in.
It will be interesting to see what benefit Apple gets from enlarging the diameter of the lens on the iPhone 7.
I think the real advancements will come from software, but bigger better sensors with amazing lense will always trump everything else IMO.
That being said I will buy an iPhone 7 and look forward to a better camera, knowing it will never replace my Nikon gear.
Who leaks this stuff, which is free R&D for the competition? Apple execs have said they hate being "the world's R&D" yet they continue condoning these leaks.
And "in the form of a question" media articles are the sort of FUD and vaporware people hated in the 1990s because they are anti-competitive practices. But the competition likes it since they can one-up Apple before Apple can.

No smartphone will have the sheer quality of the DSLR due to the latter's sensor size. My Nikon will never be replaced by a chintzy smartphone, either, and by the time a smartphone truly has proper DSLR-worthy quality in a camera sensor that's half a centimeter in length and width, the DSLR's 3cm x 3cm size will be far, far, vastly far superior in image quality.
Try a Galaxy S7 for a useful camera, especially in low light -- though the smartphone cameras are only useful for espionage and as long as one remembers to turn it on at just the right moment to manipulate the rubes with as opposing to have it running constantly to get more context.

How is that relevant when Leica was the brand it was indexed to?
Compared to an Audemars Piguet watch Apple is slumming it - see how easy (and pointless) this game is?
True.
Huawei is the most popular brand in China. Just a couple years ago, it was Xiaomi. Things can change fast in this industry. Huawei CEO's goal is to top Samsung in five years. I don't know but they do come up with their own custom SoCs. But catching Apple at #2? That's more possible within 2-3 years. Back in 2014, Apple had about 17-18% marketshare. Now it is below 15% proving iPhones have reached its saturation point in a market saturated enough as is.
