iPhone XS and XS Max Have 4GB of RAM, XR Has 3GB; XS Max and XR Have Larger 3,174 and 2,942 mAH Batteries

With a 4 hour and a half SOT.

That doesn’t seem right, my iPhone X does more than that.

The note 9 is expensive. You can get any phone you want from your carrier. Definitely not any kind of status symbol where I live. People who are on unemployment benefits have iPhones here.

Exactly. Most people who are phone geeks don't buy Android phones because they are cheap or they can't afford an iPhone --they buy one because it actually gives them freedom customize, at will, a device they have paid for. iPhones are like the 1984 of cell phones.

Curious why are you both quoting me as if I made an apoosing statement? You both should be quoting @fourthtunz as your rebuttals are better suited to his comment I quoted, not mine.

A loooong time ago. I've seen a few familiar faces around here.
(I also am a big Android nerd as well as iOS.)

Like foghorn said, it's a joke son, lighten up

There was absolutely nothing to indicate such a poor joke.

Foghorn, “there’s something wrong with that boy” (referring to the chicken hawk) j/k or /s makes it obvious. Or like our quotes herein as we both have a frame of reference we can commonly relate to.

I was agreeing with you and posting my reasons for agreeing with you.

Nobody is upgrading from X to Xr.

Wrong. I've seen many posts on here and elsewhere of people "upgrading" for the A12, slightly bigger display and to save some money. I think it's a bad move but it's not my problem.

Agreed. Apple as a company has run out of steam. Innovation is limited by dimension and scale. More cores, more heat, more warping of the logic board, higher failure rates on the MacBook Pro line from 2018 model year is one large clue. Because Apple is designing their own CPU does not really matter much, the industry is based on Intel (and some AMD) chips.

Expect Apple to do a Microsoft and begin to license the desktop OS (pattern already exists with NeXT purchase) and we will "activate" using the Apple Store.

Apple will get out the notebook market in the future and focus on iOS. macOS will be opened enough to allow hardware companies to license the security chip and decide if memory and storage need to be soldered to the logic board or go back to more ports and upgrade options for a host notebook.

Apple has lost its way in design for the "Pro" and should really just let the free market design the next generation. Let macOS follow Windows and capitalize on services and support.

Focus on iPhones and such. The best part of "Mac" is the OS. Rid needing to Hackintosh PC's to prove that point.

You don’t know Apple very well, do you?

This is but the next step of Apple’s ascent. All the way to the top.

If someone says they are upgrading from x to Xr to save money, they are math deficient.

Someone is triggered. Need a safe space?

Not at all, I'm proud to step on your turds and spread them and bury them. All in a days work.

Those benchmarks do not reflect the true day to day usage of a phone. So yeah the Note can get 6 hours or more of SOT pretty easily, while the Max dies at 4:30 hours.

2650mAh beats 4000 mAh, so we can stop saying "bigger is better" now.

Yeah I posted that some hours ago and I’m impressed.

Nice article link. Thanks! Further defines Apple well enough, and conceptually underscores my points. Essentially Apple has painted the company into a corner, a virtual black hole of product diversity that stems away from Jobsian success. Apple is repeating the cycle that occurred when Steve left the first time. Unfortunately he can not come back a second time to save Apple from itself.

I look forward to being able to load macOS on a PC as a licensed user. Imagine macOS running on a 4K Razer Blade Pro with all those ports. I can not wait.

Jobs saved the company in no small part by canceling the licensing of the Mac’s OS, since there’s little revenue (and even less profit) in that business model.

Cook is well aware that a major reason for Apple’s success is controlling both the hardware and software. You’re going to have a very long wait if you expect to run MacOS on PC (or iOS on Android) clones.

We need a dark mode for those OLED displays.

Yes and a REAL DARK MODE! None of that partial dark mode stuff nope.

He’s also going to have a long wait if he thinks Apple needs saving from itself. Why do I think the mgmt at Apple is very, very smart and probably not going to fall into the black hole that people predict?

Wait, is the article implying OLED is “power hungrier” than LED or is it correctly pointing out the power implications of managing so many more pixels or is it unsure so it is hedging its bets?

Not backlight, GPU rendering millions more pixels cost significant power that can’t be reduced, even mathematically.

The problem with that is that scrolling with true blacks can sometimes cause images to smear. This is why I think dark themes look and feel amateurish. Reminds me of the old Galaxy S 1 and 2 days..
