When I had my Galaxy S3 I would have agreed with you, but that hasn't been the case for a long time. I would say my Note 5 is easily as smooth as an iPhone.
I listen to audio books when I fall asleep with earbuds and just let them go. So the Apple solution will not allow me to charge my phone at night any longer, which is when I usually charge my phone. I also use my phone to wake up in the morning, so I would be risking not waking up due to a dead battery. Even if the battery isn't dead I wouldn't get to wake up to a charged phone any longer and would have to find time somehow to charge it during the day. So yes it is a big deal to me.
A) You don't have a vehicle? Heck, if you can't change a battery in a leaking popup tent without wrecking your phone then I guess you do need a sealed battery, but this only applies to a small percentage of the most inept people.
B) So you have to take the phone from your pocket, unplug it, put the battery pack back in your pocket, use the phone, take battery pack from pocket, plug in phone, and then walk around with a phone and battery pack in your pocket. Yeah, elegant.
A) A person that replaces their battery without finding a clean dry place to do it is just stupid,
B) How is having a battery pack dangling from your phone by a cord in any way more elegant? You have made a portable device non-portable, or at least very awkward.
So we have a company that has made it known that they scan and use anything and everything that their members submit.. and now they expect to attract businesses? I guess if you are a business that doesn't have anything confidential going on you might be interested, but it doesn't seem like a very good strategy to give all your critical information to Facebook.
You're completely wrong. People like you try to see game in everything and end up sounding ridiculous when there is no game. I'm just a guy who posts what he feels based on what he knows. This is the internet, not some sort of expert advice column. But by all means, if your philosophy means we hear from you less, keep on going with it.
Maybe he/she doesn't like people who make outrageous claims they can't back up. While I have no ax to grind on this particular claim, I can understand being irritated by these kinds of people.
I guess nothing changes in the place I live. There are back ups but they are predictable because they always happen in the same place. So you learn easily what route to take based on weather and time of day.
I'm starting to think they are way over thinking this traffic thing. Usually sticking my head outside my front door will tell me all I need to know about getting to work for that day.
Return shipping is a pain in the ass, for the time it takes you will be without a phone. Also, it is worthless unless the carrier allows you out of the contract, which they won't. You will be forced to choose another phone from their selection.
The first article talks about formaldehyde, not cancer...
Second article says there isn't much evidence... which is why I was asking in the first place
Third article says some stuff about possible heart and respiratory issues, nothing about cancer
Do you f'n read?? You just wasted my time, thanks. Even worse, you are spreading misinformation.
Have you seen evidence that they cause cancer? I recently read the opposite; that they may be coming around to accepting them as a stop smoking method. I don't use them, just interested.

Why do people like you always think people don't mind buying more stuff?
Those who want a headphone jack.... screw you, apple wanted to save $1 per phone so you get to pay $79 for an extra accessory you never wanted.

Apple customers were burdened by having more than one button, so it surprises you they find a headphone jack a burden?

I don't look at people's past posts.. I find it kind of creepy.
This is an example of why the cloud is bad. Even if companies are trustworthy, can that be said of every single employee in contact with your data?
I thought we were talking about the guy who said Musk's rocket blew up, which is true... What false claims have been made?

I'm not following.. economy or first class?
And I expected them to cure every disease. Thanks for shattering my world.
That's a lot of blah blah blahs for someone who is asking for a constructive conversation.
So in this metaphor, the internet is your hand not the oreo cookie. Should it cost more to glove the hand that delivers the double stuffed oreo?

I have an app with this special feature where you can repeat the alarm on weekdays WITHOUT EVER GOING INTO THE APP! fluffernutter 1 internet 0
Don't tell me about 1 and 3.. It's the people drilling holes in their phones that I'm talking about. I go android and I'm always happy with it.

That's not global. The carriers where I am won't do it.
