And iPads before the Air 2 will never get split screen even though they are running iOS 9 or higher, so updating the OS can still have fragmentation issues too.
Got a tip for us?

Maps was just one example, and I simply said less of an issue. Most people dont care what OS version they are on anyway.

Thats a hardware issue though. Nothing apple can do about that.
No it's for rendering video and 3-D art work on your phone ha ha Ha ha ha but the funny thing is the processor can't even pull it off... its as slow as molasses.... Nine times out of 10 you're outside looking at your phone so doesn't really matter how many billions of pixels you see it matters if you can actually see the screen at all lol!
Probably to capture holiday sales as soon as supply starts to meet demand from the launch. Plus since most phones launch in the spring part of the calendar, there's less stress on suppliers in the fall so they have more resources for the iPhone.
Likely because they are nothing alike. Google develops and announces and turns over to the OEM's to develop their editions. When Google announces it isn't "ready to go". Apple does it differently. When they announce it is released it is ready to install and use.
Different methods. This Year vs. Year is a fallacy of comparison.
One or two or thousand examples is irrelevant. If you can't get latest OS with latest security updates, stability improvements and other OS related features its not going to matter if you have latest hangouts app.
And people who don't care about OS version they are on care much less about which version of app they use.
Could be. It wouldn't surprise me that at that time they were asked by Apple to create a few display prototypes.
Doesn't look like a horrible phone at all! Physically, Samsung Galaxy phones, aren't as bad as a lot of people here make them.
I just prefer the iPhone and iOS.
So happy Apple already has a patent on finger-scanning through the glass. Lol. Sometimes I feel like Samsung just waits for Apple rumors and then goes into production. . .

Video editing on a phone, I too enjoy driving nails into boards with a banana.
This new Samsung phone looks a lot like what the i8 has been rumored to looks like.
AMOLED screens are a significant improvement over LCT and other technologies. Better picture, bendable (so can be shaped to new phone designs), and uses less power. Apple will eventually replace all screens if they can get a supplier that lowers the price. I think we will only see it in the 8 this year.
As far as curved display covering some of the edges, I don't have any experience with actually using one. It looks nice and an article reported less glass edge breakage as compared to bringig a flat piece up to the edge of the phone.
Do you think Apples chip will be better than an 10nm one?
I have also tried Android a couple of times, but not lately. Didn't like it. Always coming back to
apple like a trained puppy or happy customer.

Yup. When it comes to screens nowadays no flagship phone on the market comes close to Samsung

If that were the case then the older devices would have more up to date OS's, since they have had time to release and Samsung to patch, but they don't. It's still release OS+1.
First of all, I truly wish you a lasting recovery. This is some very scary stuff.
As for the AirPods: they have the same RF output as a WiFi access point (100mw), so it's essentially like tying an AP to each side of your head and sticking the antenna in your ear. I initially bought them but have since stopped using them because they continuously gave me headaches (literally). Don't know whether it's the RF output or just the form of the device exerting physical pressure on my scull bone and / or cartilage. There are three different bluetooth classes, 1, 2 + 3. Class 3 has a power output of 1mw, class 2 has an output of 2.5mw and class one is at 100mw. So far, bluetooth headsets have mainly been class 2 (or even one). That has proven to be enough power to keep them connected for a distance of around 10m. Why Apple has chosen to use a class 1 radio with a range of hundreds of feet, nobody knows. It seems completely unnecessary and careless.

so you're waiting for the S8 copy made by Apple.
This. What is everyone expecting? All phones from either company are going to be a rectangle with a screen. Forever. I don't how majorly you can redesign that.
I don't think it will be enough to stop the iPhone onslaught. Last year the S7 and yes the ill fated Note 7 were superior in many ways to the iPhone 7/7+, but still the iphones sold like hotcakes. This year Apple is blazing all its guns and its fans are seriously chomping at the bit for a new design, they are going to sell a record number of phones. I also foresee Apple keeping the fp sensor on the front as being more popular than Samsung moving it behind. What stood out to me as Samsungs number one advantage, having a larger screen in a smaller package, isn't an advantage anymore in 2017 as Apple moves that way as well. Even though the S8 looks like an awesome phone, it may be too little to stand up to a redesigned iPhone.
But the big winner is competition. I'll bet Apple would have gladly released an iPhone 7s instead of a redesigned iPhone if it were not for Samsung pushing them so hard.

Because of the beginning of school year and holiday shopping season.

I will wait and see what Apple brings us the fall. I hope it is no bezel for all form factors.
