Try to explain to foreigners that cleave means to stick tight to or to split apart from, or that sanction is to permit or to forbid something, and they will run screaming.
I love/hate the " sanction " thing; but did not know of the "stick tight" definition for "cleave"..
Noooo apple has never been overly litigious. Thats why apple and frivolous lawsuits have become synonyms.
If you can look at the photo of the original iPhone and the Samsung nearly identical phone side-by-side and call their lawsuit against Samsung "frivolous", then it is not I who is willfully blind, here.
No, someone named Macs4all who sucks Apple's dick in every single Apple post and says childish stuff like "Slamdung" is almost definitely a "shill".
When I get to "enjoy" ad hominem attacks like the one below on a daily basis by those who are immune to Karmic discipline by "virtue"of their AC status, I do believe I have earned the "right" to hurl a little "dung" at a faceless corporation now and again.
And now, for a sample of a typical daily AC attack against me, taken from today's fare:
"The only thing on fire around here is your asshole. You've got a massive case of the red ass. You need someone to call you a whaaambulance? Ya need a buuurn unit?"
And that's a fairly mild example...
And, besides, your comment is not only ad hominem personally against me, but it is also non-responsive to the comment it purports to be responding-to.
Go back to your Steve Jobs shrine. What a loser you are.
Really? Slamdung cold-copies the original iPhone down to the very last detail, and the person who points out some AC's assertion that Apple's ire was NOT raised by "rounded corners" is a SHILL?!?
You do realize that "shill" is not a synonym for "one who has a different opinion than me", right?
thats right there were lots of other crap patents that apple tried to use but over time they where disallowed
You can really sit there and look at those to oh ones and say with a straight face that Apple was overly litigious in suing Samsung for what amounted to a nearly pixel perfect cooy of the original iPhone?!?
maybe some people just dont want to support such a terrible company as apple
The fucking AC set up the "conditions" by saying that his reasons were the following:
"I don't buy Apple shit because of their choices that would cost me more than comparable products that are just as good if not better."
I will concede that "as good if not better" is somewhat subjective (although that speed test is pretty damning for the GN7); but "cost me more"? Sorry, no. And I provided the link to prove it.
Samsung is far-and-away the leader in that technology, and has the Patent Portfolio to prove it. So, they have had a merry old time, DENYING Apple their AMOLED parts (or pricing them so they are deliberately out-of-the-question).
How do you expect a supplier to act when you sue them for something as stupid as rounded corners? They brought that on themselves.
Maybe this is a dumb question, but why would I pay 50% more for an iPhone, only to have to buy this thing to get headphones and decent battery life, when I can just buy an android phone that already has both built in?
What 50% more? A GN7 is typically a couple of hundred MORE than an iPhone 7 (even the 7 plus!) for an equivalent amount of Flash storage.
Anything less than a GN7 isn't even a fair comparison.
You've never met Apple users, have you? It absolutely did happen. If you're dumb enough to buy a phone without a headphone jack, you're dumb enough to try and drill a hole in your phone to add it back when you realize that, just like everyone else, you really did need it.
If you think Apple has a stranglehold on stupid users, you've never met some of the typical Android users...
Apple makes it difficult to replace the battery, which means you'll be forced to buy a new phone once the battery decays (which all batteries do).
You're nuts.
Not only are there about a bazillion videos on the internet showing how to replace the built-in battery on your Apple (or Samsung, or...) smartphone; but in the case of Apple, they will also do it for you for a reasonable fee, or you can take it to the Googolplex of third-party repair shops that will also do it for you.
Having said that, I have a pretty non-technical cow-orker (salesperson) who told me that he did exactly that himself to his iPhone, using one of the many online tutorials. Took him about 30 minutes, even though he'd never attempted anything like that before, and he didn't even have a heat-gun.
the iPhone's internal DAC was limited to 24-bit/48kHz.
Which, when listening to 16 bit, 44.1 Kbps encoded AAC is more than sufficient.
But one thing you aren't factoring in when discussing the "merits" of an internal DAC, is that the electrical ENVIRONMENT that the DAC has to live in inside the phone is FAR AND AWAY noisier than what would typically be true with an external DAC, even one that is powered by the phone's power supply.
There is absolutely no advantage in having a 24-bit DAC, when the bottom 4 bits are nothing but random noise from the power supply and RF intrusion from the rest of the circuitry.
Why do you think that people actually PUT DACs/ADCs and power supplies OUTSIDE of the device?
The 7 plus easily beat both the 6 plus (which I have, and which gets me about 4 DAYS of average use) and the 6s plus. No, it wasn't by 2 hours; but real-world battery tests are not scientific. The point is, the 7 plus DID have significantly better battery life than the two previous models, and that is going to stay true no matter the application.
And if you are doing something like listening to streaming music, where the iPhone 7 can take advantage of the A10's two "low-power" cores, the difference probably will meet (or even exceed) that 2 hour difference claim.
It probably helps a lot that Samsung is a screen manufacturer and is at the cutting edge of these technologies, whereas Apple doesn't manufacture anything at all and has to outsource everything, and has to buy their screens from someone else (like Samsung).
There are only 4 manufacuters (if that) of AMOLED "glass" on the Planet. Samsung is far-and-away the leader in that technology, and has the Patent Portfolio to prove it. So, they have had a merry old time, DENYING Apple their AMOLED parts (or pricing them so they are deliberately out-of-the-question).
That's not Apple's "fault". It is Capitalism.

Not true. I am pretty sure that Apple is manufacturing its own case hardware, the Lightning connector (at least) and has plenty of custom-designed Silicon in their products.
And as I said above, almost everyone has to buy their displays from a very small number of manufacturers. So, meh.
Subject says it all. They keep making phones slimmer so they can brag but we know beyond any shadow of a doubt that many people will pay for more battery life.
The iPhone 7 is the same dimensions as the iPhone 6s, and yet it gets around 2 hours more battery life.

Uh oh, I pissed off the Apple shill!!!

loading game textures etc. WOULD take longer
Four times as many cores; and if Samsung can't fill those extra pixels in a timely manner, then WTF good are they to the user?
Oh, and a number of the tests that the iPhone REALLY whipped on the Slamdung on were things that were NOT especially display-bound.
thats right there were lots of other crap patents that apple tried to use but over time they where disallowed

Let's dispel (once again!) that meme.
It was OBVIOUSLY a lot more than just "Rounded Corners".
So, kindly take your meme and STFU.

Besides, worthwhile headphones don't come with an 1/8 inch jack anyway.
Correct. They come with a 1/8 inch plug.
Good one!

1/8th inch. 3.5mm is not correct. This is American product.
1/8 inch equals 3.175 mm. That means that you are quibbling over 13/40ths of an inch (.325 inch).
That being said, I grew up with that being called an 1/8 inch jack, too...
Now get off my lawn!
That's a great idea for a kickstarter - an iPhone case with a built-in Galaxy S7 to do all the things the iPhone stops you doing.
Why would you want an inferior, slower phone for your phone?
Yeah, I don't see the point of strapping an iPhone to my phone.
Perhaps so you'll have something to use when your GN7 goes up in flames?
real world test are not scientific but apple claims of 2 hours are the truth.
what kind of world do you live in?
Nice selective editing, fucktard.
We're done now.

By the way, did you even watch that battery test?
The 7 plus easily beat both the 6 plus (which I have, and which gets me about 4 DAYS of average use) and the 6s plus. No, it wasn't by 2 hours; but real-world battery tests are not scientific.

Do you want me to show you the GN7 v. iPhone 7 speed test?

Oh, you mean like that SLOW-ASS Galaxy Note 7 "Fireball Edition" (which feature they have apparently kept on the "non-fireball" version), that > costs as much or more as an equivalent-storage Unlocked iPhone 7?
Yeah, good choice!

Doesn't Apple get license fee for this adapter?
Yes.
Yeah, because that is Apple's MO, right? Build something that nobody other than Apple can use?
If the product says "Apple" or "iPhone" anywhere on the marketing material, packaging or product... they are getting license fees....
Assuming they are doing the Adapter the "legit" way, Apple is getting an MFi license fee for the adapter built into the case.
