Very cool not going to lie!
 
The way I figure it is this. With Apple, they and my carrier have access to my data. With Samsung, Google, Facebook, which cannot be deleted, Samsung and my carrrier have access to my data. That’s one of the main reasons I chose Apple. Am I naive to think this way?

Do you use gmail, YouTube, Google search? Guess what no matter what device you use you're in Google ecosystem
 
Thanks for restating what I mentioned in my post.
Yep, we agree on that part. But also Samsung isn’t loosing money on its phone business, they’re just not that greedy as Apple and accept lower margins.

S10 is a great phone but still has android...

Samsung needs to make the os like apple has,and that will take years.
They’re past that. 2017 was the year. 2019 is the year they also won the speed crown with everything better while still being able to deliver it cheaper ;)

How can a feature be removed from a product catagory that a company has never had on sale before?
What category they didn’t have? Smatphone category? Is this the first smartphone Samsung is releasing? Under what category those Galaxy/ A / J/ Note / M / S series phones been coming out? Kitchen appliences?
And what’s with the phones PPI? 420 ppi for 2000$ ? That’s even worse than 5 year old S5 phone! Samsungs shameless money grabbing! Just buy iPhone for 3x less and better pixel density.

A very creative and nice solution :)

Look how Apple is trying to hide the nodge:

Why would you want a fingerprint sensor when you can have facial recognition that is more accurate and secure?
 
Let me give you a real world example of how this could be an issue:

Let's say I'm on a first date (yes, that can happen even to non 'James Bond' people) I'm having a drink at the bar with her and after a few beers, I have my phone resting on the bar and it 'notices' my face so it's unlocked. Then I go to the restroom, and given that I've had a few beers, I forget that my phone could be unlocked. So while I'm away, she wants to see 'what kind of guy I am' and notices a text or two I may have sent to another potential date, or a text I sent to a friend about my expectations about this date with her ...

Yea, she shouldn't be looking at my phone for sure, but people are naturally curious so it's not like she's an evil person or something.
But bottom line, my privacy has been compromised, and she potentially sees something on my phone or texts she doesn't like, for whatever reason.

So basically, because I was a little careless, and she was a little curious ... our date is effectively ruined.
just giving you a hard time! I guess I just got into the habit of locking it after I look at it!

Doesn’t The adapter output what you need?
The adapter has usb and Lightening but not a head phone output so you need another adapter or or a different rig but the point is..with older iPad or iPhones its not a problem.
Some of us would like the horsepower of the new iPads or iPhones for running synths and not have to bring
a bunch of adapters. So is it thousands of people that would like the headphone jack back or millions,
no idea but a lot of musicians, DJ's and performers.

Love your squirrel by the way. It looks adorable.
This is what I’ve got in my garden :D:

My favourite s10+ wallpaper yet

There is so much creativity on the other side these days :D

Oh wait, Timmy pushed all those creative professionals away ;)
 
But the Snapdragon 855 performance is listed...so it's a moot point.
Whatever.... the real world test showed different results. It’s whats happening in real life what matters for me.

Samsung Galaxy S10 smokes the iPhone XS in terms of speed and fluidity of graphics.

That’s new and never happened before.

My take on the debate between which is better, FaceID or TouchID. Neither is better than the other! It's all personal preference. My gosh how some people are so dense.

I was a big fan of TouchID when it came out. Then I had an iPhone X, used FaceID for a year, then got an XS MAX and still used FaceID for a few months. Then I sold it and got a Pixel 3 XL, and now back to TouchID. I prefer TouchID much more. Am I saying it's better? No, I am just saying I like it better. It's irrelevant why I like it better, and it's irrelevant why other's like FaceID better. We all like what we like, and to argue with someone over this saying you are right and I am wrong is crazy.

You’re right but wrong :D
 
Doesn’t Samsung offer both?
No. Samsung's face unlock is not secure.

I predict the S10 will overtake Apple’s volume this year. By the time Apple is releasing its incremental update in September/October. Samsung’s next flagship the Note will come out to deliver the knockout :D
So you are predicting that S10 series will sell 200 million units?

Samsung flagships have sold perhaps something like 30 million per year in previous years..we are going to see insane growth for Samsung then :)

(By the way, Samsung hasn't reported unit sales in years. Nobody seems to care, but when Apple told they'll stop reporting unit sales...)

In reality Samsung is going to be in big trouble against the Chinese OEMs. If Huawei gets to enter US market it's going to be very bad for Samsung. The effect on Apple will be much smaller. People aren't any more likely to jump to Huawei than to Samsung from iOS. For existing Android users it's different though, very easy to switch.
 
Might be a good reason to stick with Apple, I continue to keep my 6S because I like IOS and the eco system.

I don't think Apple's ego will ever let them reincorporate the fingerprint sensor (huge mistake on their part) and the audio jack … I fear, sadly gone forever.
I hope Apple keeps the low end sweet and petite SE with the jack, fingerprint sensor, and updated internals. I would finally move on from my 6s. Otherwise, my 6s will just have to keep going as long as it can. If I have to leave iOS, I will. I still have at least a year or two.

I guess my post wasn't clear, I didn't say Samsung wasn't losing money on it's phone business, but I specifically called out their top tier phones like the ones that were released, which don't sell in enough numbers to make a profitable dent.
 
I wish Apple had not abandoned the fingerprint sensor. I am not against facial recognition, but I still want a fingerprint unlock.

EDIT: Oh yea, and Samsung still offers a traditional audio jack. Apple screwed up eliminating these two things.

So im guessing u dont have a iphone
 
just giving you a hard time! I guess I just got into the habit of locking it after I look at it!

But that to me is the main benefit of touch ID vs. faceID. Because the phone is only unlocking when I deliberately make it unlock, I don't have to constantly recheck my phone to make sure it's in fact, locked. Always wondering if my phone is safety locked would make my obsessive compulsive nature go nuts.
