Eh, I think the problem is customers just prefer bigger phones. I mean, personally I prefer the mini, but I think it's clear I'm in the minority.

Using a rebrand to try and downplay the compactness may work for sight-unseen buyers, but in the end if they're shown the bigger phone in-store, past sales would suggest they're likely going to pick the bigger phone. (Phones ended up so big in the first place because people preferred them, too.)

I just wish Signal had better history and backup features.

Oh I wasn’t being sarcastic or anything, I think it’ll make a great addition.

This is absolutely the reason why Apple sticks with a rectangle, but that said, I'd still love to see them try for a round face.

Round faces look amazing for analog watch faces and only for that—but I'd still get one if they offered it.

You just know this is going to get mentioned at Tim Cook's next iPhone keynote.

Why not everything? Honestly even 25 years seems too long, make it 10.

Wish the TouchID rumors were true; I have the iPad Air M1 with the side TouchID button and it works amazingly.

I wish Apple would bring it to their phones, but they really seem to like FaceID for some reason.

Yup. Lest we forget, Android is Linux-based, and it's the most popular consumer operating system in the world.

Exactly! The great thing about Lemmy is that if your instance’s admins start doing stupid stuff you can just go to another instance.

As fun as it is to watch Musk do dumb stuff, giving him credit for killing HSR is a reach. There’s a really great article about it here — even Epstein was involved for some reason!

Well, to quote a classic film:

"Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb."

All Elon had to do was stick to the rockets and cars!

But no, he has to go pick fights with random people online and espouse stupid talking points. It’s like a masterclass in killing your personal brand.
