Actually, all you need is a Bluetooth keyboard(with built-in trackpad) and any TV with a HDMI port. Even those tiny mini BT keyboards will work.

No one is asking anyone to defy physics or thermodynamics. Not saying a phone can run completely cool during periods of heavy processing, but Apple will find a way one day to re-engineer the device, or optimize the OS, to be a little more efficient in this capacity.
If PDA's count, Apple wins with the Newton, big screen, stylus, handwriting recognition...
1994 is back, baby!
Oh Damn! You really got me on that one! Lol. Really had to think of my grade 7/8 class year to see if I had a counter rebuttal ... I got nothing!
At least the POOF still remained in OSX for a while until MacOS renaming.

I got a sneak peek at the next-generation Samsung Watch. Still in Development; but they have leaked some Prototypes out...
FROLMAO!
You guys got jokes!!
Definitely 90’s is back! “Flavour Flav Bass for your face London”
Following you both can’t wait to see future posts.

Thank you for the updated info.
The only bad thing with Tizen is only Samsung is using it and looses on the consolidated “promise” of strength Google should have continued with WearOS.
Oh well.

I don’t think you understood my post about retina ... you’re preaching to the choir on that topic. My post meant I saw through Jobs’ BS about retina way back upon introduction.
Every business is after maximum profits so they all copy each other as regards that. If Samsung raise prices to a new level and get away with it, Apple will follow suit.
I am ok with people having a different opinion. But really the pencil is mainly for drawing. I am pretty sure you are not an artist. The size alone is a huge difference (positive) when you use it. And yes it doesn't appeal to many people and that's fine. Both devices are fine tools I guess. I have never used a stylus because only the note can store it inside and I personally don't like Samsung devices.
No I am not an artist but plenty of artists use an S pen or a surface pen for drawing. There have also been Wacom tablets with Wacom styli for artists long before the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil. Apple also promote the Pencil for taking notes which is what I use it for.
I’m not saying Apple don’t create great devices, they do. Many of which I own and love. However to try and make out Apple have ‘invented’ all these features is just wrong.
If you look at the timeline, it’s been Samsung that’s pushed Apple to come out with larger phones. So i’d say yes.
Maybe you should look at Tag Heuer or Hublot instead of cheaper offerings from Apple etc
I have entered conference rooms where there will not be any laptops but monitor or projector with HDMI cables. I typically carry a piece of HDMI to Micro USB dongle. For corporate presentations/trainings this good enough so long you don't need extensive typings during the sessions.
Dex will NOT replace anything just like iPad did not replace laptops. But it works in certain situations where you don't need to power your laptops.
I have external monitor, BT Keyboard at home use my Note 8 for doing quick stuff.
Certainly not a productivity replacement device for your powerful laptops.

I used to carry Note Pad 12 inch along with HDMI adopter, Microsoft Wedge Keyboard for my meetings with clients.
It actually works pretty well on a large phone. Apple were late in implementing it on the iPad.

Don’t think it can be argued that the note 9 doesn’t have more features or technology than the iPhone X. However the argument is about what features someone finds useful.
The note 9 is a great phone and I don’t think it can be faulted. It’s pretty flawless.
However I do prefer to have an iPhone because of how it integrates with the Apple ecosystem.
That's the funniest thing I've read today.
I don't have to prove anything, it runs Android and it's a fact it's less secure.
Well I think that considering it comes with 512 GB of internal storage then it can go for above $1000.
The base model note9 is only £31 more than the note 8 went for in the uk and it has double the storage.
The note 8 was ~$940 last time depending on the carrier. In some instances it was a bit more. So the base model isn’t really much more than it was last year.
Also the note 9 with 512GB of internal storage. Is still about £50 cheaper in the UK than the 256GB iPhone X.
I didn't say it was 100% (Totally) safe did I, it's a fact android is inherently less secure than iOS.
Are you sure? Galaxy S8, S8+, S9, S9+, Note 8 and Note 9 all have 3.5mm headphone jacks.
Research is not some peoples strong point on here!
I know on EE it’s £83 a month on annual upgrade for 128GB
The other way around. Samsung was emboldened because Apple did it first. This is one case they blatantly copied and exceeded expectations.

They aren’t going to get all the money Apple got though are they.
The reason Apple did it first is because thanks to their ecosystem they can trap customers and make em buy anything with an Apple logo on it. If Samsung tries to remove their headphone jack or design a notched phone or raise prices to $2000, their customers will desert them. When Apple does it, Samsung has an excuse to raise it higher as at this point even if customers desert them there is no competitor to migrate to. Also note the higher price of the X is thanks to Samsung looting Apple with oled pricesThe other way around. Samsung was emboldened because Apple did it first.

The competition for Samsung is android not Apple. How are those s9 sales? When was apple’s iPhone sales below expectations?
Don’t worry about oled prices, Apple will have alternate suppliers shortly with better panels.
