But if Apple rolled this out, I bet "gross" would flip to "cool" and "we" would be gushing love for such a feature to no end.
See post 170 (it has pictures too). One could leave the main screen off and still get their alerts & notifications at a glance. Something important enough to address immediately? Fire up the phone and do so. Not important enough for immediate action? You still got the core message.
Apparently, the iWatch may do some of this very same stuff. And "we're" all apparently ready to pay extra for that.
Unfortunately, this is SO true. Bigger screen phones were "abominations", "UFC was "useless" and "stupid", "1080p was a gimmick" (when
TV was limited to 720p playback) and on and on. Then, Apple switches and Apple stuff is never tagged "abominations", "stupid", etc. Dazzling how that works… EVERY TIME.No, it simply uses a different kind of case that will show that edge… much like iDevice cases are designed to still yield access to ports. In fact, my own iDevice case is such that I can see almost the entire edge on 3 sides. It's not impossible to build a good case that would expose this edge on one side.
Abomination is a term heavily used by this crowd when Apple deemed 3.5" and then 4" as the "perfect" sizes of iPhone screens. All sizes above were bashed as "abominations", "stupid" and "99% don't want". Now that it seems very likely that Apple is about to roll out bigger screens, apparently they are no longer abominations and/or that other 1% is about to buy tens of millions of abominations from Apple. Funny how that works too… EVERY TIME.
Or if Apple would put in more than 1GB, that more efficient OS could still be just as efficient but have more space available to do it's thing. A multitasking OS with a 64bit processor could definitely work better with more RAM. What do you think this is- an Amiga?
If you genuinely believe it's about managing "lazy programmers"
Apple could cap the RAM available to any given program at some level <1GB so that extra RAM strictly exists for better multitasking and tangible issues like tab reloads.It has it's applications- anytime it would be helpful to have one app open while using another. I just needed to see a list in one app while using another. Flipping back & forth was a pain. Even on a phone screen, being able to split screen could have tangible benefits… especially on phone screens bigger than 4"
The rule seems to be "Specs don't matter" when Apple is on the wrong end of that but "Specs matter" when Apple's specs are better.
Try to imagine how any singular design of a watch is going to look fantastic to everyone. Watches are jewelry. We've got 100+ years of being exposed to them in every shape, size, color, style, material, etc. Can Apple make one that would be more attractive to you? Sure. Can they make one that will be attractive to everybody? I don't see how. Jewelry begs for design diversity. In jewelry, buyers want something that seems special rather than an exact copy of something worn by everyone else.
Correct. "We" would "gush" love at the incredible innovation of that edge and spin the potential when the developers take full advantage of it.
And yet "we" are ready to embrace Sapphire which is MORE brittle than Gorilla Glass. Plus, when it shatters, there's a possibility the replacement part will ONLY be available from Apple and will very likely be priced for the much higher cost of Sapphire instead of glass.
Why do we need an A8 when everything that can be done in iOS apps can be done by A7s. Why do we need A7s when almost everything that can be done in iOS apps can be done with A6s? Etc. We have no problem with Apple building newer, faster processors. But we fault the other guys based on "why would we ever need"???
The always are... but nothing compares to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7qTHbOEiDY
The Note edge is actually something new! I like the idea of having a notifications control bar on the side. Certainly something smash able though! And something Fragemented again
Does make me chuckle that they bring out a VR headset that is not compatible with only the note.. not ht enot edge. It's really arse from elbow stuff. They just don't seem to have any cohesion with their products... Just shove out any old junk and see what people buy.
OMG, couldn't stop laughing. And of course Balmer had to be there. That was insanely funny. Thanks for the share.
But yeah, something new and innovating. Very cool. I do like the curved watch. The CEO is wearing one on stage and doesnt' look bulky or stupid.
Instead, it went to a company that has 1 GB of RAM and their cult members saying "it's all that it needs."
Hard to know where to start with this one isn't it! lol
Not seen any articles about virtual reality and the Oculus Rift have you over the past couple of years?
If its a thing that has no interest to you then fair enough, but many, and I mean MANY are looking forward to this very much.
Is anyone else finding it weird that the edge display in the photo is upside down?

Yes. Why can Samsung make elegant small bezels and Apple can not??
With Samsung, more of the phone size is dedicated to screen. Apple, gives you wasted space.
I don't actually like the idea of a wraparound. I may be gay but still.... it's like meh... especially for a phone. It's too easy for accidents to happen.
It's the same reason why Apple is releasing both a 4.7" and 5.5" phone. What if Apple went straight to 5.5"? I think Apple is starting to realize that people have different taste. Same thing going on here; one has a traditional display and the other has a curve. I think it would have been disastrous to release only the curved model.
Gotta give Samsung credit. Many people in the industry laughed at them when they heard that Samsung was releasing a 5.3" phone. Today we are on the Note 4 talking about it in a Apple forum. In a few years you may have some type of curve in every phone.
IMO it is a gimmick for a smart phone.
Depending on the kind of stylus, I have a seen some decent usages for graphic artist when working on iPad or tablet.
HobeSound: because nobody on here ever...ever...ever complains about stuff Apple does....clearly...
Wait, so let me get this straight. My $50 Timex is a "douchebag status symbol" more than the $700 iPhone you have in your hand? And what the he** is "anachronistic" about wearing a device that *works*? As for not seeing anyone wear a watch in the last 5 years, maybe you need to get out more? I live I NYC and on the subway I can count easily dozens of men and women wearing wristwatches every single day. I'm wearing one right now because I like to know what time it is without digging out my damned phone. It's a timex, but I also own an old stainless steel Omega I wear if I'm getting dressed up. Let me guess, you're wearing sweatpants right now aren't you?
This made me L0L
The "edge" looks weird to me when I first saw it, mainly because of the unsightly left side bezel. If that was way thinner, it would probably look better. Other than that I think the iPhone Air (5.5") will be a competitor mainly because the resolution is basically up to par with the Note 4.
Whoa that curved display is awesome! Nice to see innovation its going to be a great year for tech!
But at the same time Sony had a big event and Asus released a decent looking smartwatch. My issue with MacRumors is that they only focus on Samsung and no one else. To me it's either you do everybody or you just talk about Apple. Tomorrow Motorola is going to have a big event and I doubt that we will see any news on that front.
Should just call the site MacSamRumors or is that SamMacRumors?
Innovation is a funny thing. Not so sure that Samsung has done much here, except a reactionary release in anticipation of what Apple is going to deliver. Yes, Samsung is delivering heavily spec'd devices for people who are big into specs, maybe a smidgen of innovation with the curved context-based display (depends on how well it works), but not much of anything else. Still relatively square smartphones/phablets, relatively square watch. No major changes to form factor. Which will be the same with Apple's release. What are you seeing that I'm not?
I think they were more after an explanation of what it can be used for, not how well it works.
I have a sub-group of friends that have notes, and never use the stylist. It all depends on what applications you use, if you take notes, if you draw, or if you need it as an accessibility feature.
FWIW the notes I used, the stylus worked quite well!
If you have been around long enough, you know that this has to do with apple, FYI that is a list of products that can compete with apple products, that is the only reason it is there.
We'll have to agree to disagree on that one. Simplicity and ease of use are far more important to me than every feature under the sun.
Love it ,
Although im not a fan of sammy releasing 30 phones in a year, their flagships are sexy.
I have the S5 right now, will most likely switch back to apple with the iphone 6, but I love the big screen now, can't go back to small.

I've seen them, and their predecessors for many years now. The narrative has been the same: everyone oohs and ahhs over the big clunky thing you wear on your head that makes you see pretty things. Then after the initial awe fades, everyone forgets about it. Because at the end of the day, people don't like wearing a big clunky thing on your head to see pretty things over an extended period of time.
Let me know how long you end up using yours before you're tired of it.
