Your comment is enabling able and their pathetic practice of thinking 16 GB is okay on a phone that shoots 4k video. It's 2016, not 2006.
Got a tip for us?

One 1tb.hardrive costs 40 UK pounds, Surely it's better to store your entire collection on that and just. Put stuff on as and when needed. A ipad is great for movies, a phone, not so..

Hang on , but they still sell phones. That aren't full.HD either.. is that not OK?
More properly worded - don't be surprised if Samsung SSDs with sprayed EMI coating show up in Macs, too
True enough. While maybe not "warring" per se, but if you run a division that is required to turn a profit, you sell your parts/services for what the market will bear. Unless your revenues are rolled up with other internal groups, there is no reason to prioritize in any way other than ability to pay. If your internal customers want premium parts and animosity is not a factor, they can change their price-points and pony up the bucks like everyone else. And believe me, this happens all_the_time in the free market world, from individual employees within a firm competing with external sources to do a job all the way up to where a country chooses to sell the resources it rips from its own land. Highest (or in the case of employees, lowest) bidder wins. In the case of Samsung and Apple, it is not out of the question that Samsung could not afford Samsung parts for the price point that it wants to sell its Galaxy phones at.
Ever hear that joke about the two plumbers? One tells the other that the pipes in his house broke. The other asks 'Did you fix them?' He replies 'Hell no, I couldn't afford my hourly rate!' Sort of like that.
I was yawning at how boring it is to hear "Still a 16gb model" over and over and over.
lol
I agree the perfectionist attitude in all things Apple seems to be missing lately. Design compromises, increasingly frequent software snafus, they're all slowly taking away a bit of the lustre of the company we once knew.
I also wonder if Tim dares to challenge/reign in Jony once in a while, or has the cajones to send him back to the drawing board if needed.
Perhaps I didn't notice it before, but lately it just all seems to be more and more about maximizing profits. Somehow I had naively hoped this wouldn't happen to Apple.
BGAs are extremely common in systems these days. They are more forgiving mechanically than a part flat against a board, and they're simpler to implement than columns (CGA).
The issue with the 360 was indeed inadequate thermal management which led to board deformation and loss of part/thermal management contact. That's why the towel or oven tricks worked- they actually reflowed the part to reform connections. BGAs aren't inherently the problem - being cheap on your thermal management is.
If that's true why did Apple reduce the size of IOS upgrades? If nobody was being affected there wouldn't be a need for it. Considering the average selling price of Iphones Apple could make 64GB the low end. Seems like they're using the 16GB to force people to pay extra for the 64GB. As long as people are willing to do it why not?
Are you aware of other countries except usa?
What am I going to do with the extra 150? I dont know, but im not buying a 1000bucks phone thats for sure
Are you dumb even high schools students know that water has larger molecules.JEEz
iMacs for a start. I ended up buying a PC recently despite wanting an iMac, sadly they're no more than glorified laptops now thanks to the need to make them as thin as possible - hindering the usable space for internal components and cooling to the level that powerful hardware is out of the question. I do a lot of rendering for my job and there was no way even the top iMac was up to doing that at reasonable speed. The real kicker - the stand itself is 6" or so deep the the "thinness" of the iMac (let's face it, as with the camera bump on the phones the thin parts aren't even the real depth!) is irrelevant. There is literally no benefit to making an iMac excessively thin when it's thicker in the middle and the stand is necessarily deep. This is without even going into phones and their cameras, batteries, ergonomics...
Shouldn't call someone "Dumb" without knowing what you are talking about. Water does have surface tension and is in liquid form which makes it harder to penetrate than air, but an oxygen (O2) molecule is LARGER than a water (H2O) molecule, so the person you called "dumb" was correct.
The density of water is 1kg/L and that of liquid oxygen is 1.14kg/L. The molecular weights are 18 and 32 respectively. So I reckon the volume of an oxygen molecule is about 32/(18*1.14)=1.56 times that of water. The exact volume of each molecule can be calculated using Avagadro's constant and the above data. If the molecules are assumed spherical, apply a factor of π 3 √ 2 π32 for closely packed spheres and you can find out the radius. Can't help with materials for osmosis.

With the exception of some contracts, transfer cost was pretty close to external customer pricing. It became a problem when a component, which you were required to source within the company, wasn't available to manufacture your product.
It was beyond a price issue.
