Wide slabs actually look really good. They might be a bit uncomfortable for people with smaller hands, but I'd love to see OPPO, Samsung, and Apple explore this form factor.
Especially Apple. I think it would look great as an iPhone Air 3.
@izziboye They both equally visible, I don't really see the point of the nano texture on the duo if the crease would still be visible like the regular glossy displays
You see everyone calling Samsung DeX a useless feature, but imagine Apple introducing something similar. I wouldn't even be surprised if they did.
Suddenly, DeX would become one of the biggest innovations in tech, and everyone would start talking about its potential. 😂
I'm waiting for that day!
@yltech Apple suddenly making phones they've looked down on all these years Is lame.
Seems they out of Ideas to now finally start copying others then do the "oh we being working on this for 8 years so it's perfection crap"
Looking at all of Apple's rumoured releases for next year, the iPhone 18e feels pretty pointless. You're already getting the iPhone 18, Air 2 and iPhone 20, all of which are expected to offer much better specs than the 18e.
I understand Apple is trying to cater to the budget market, but even then, it doesn't feel like a particularly good deal. I'd rather get the iPhone 17 than the 18e.
Apple just rushing its product releases and adding unnecessary products & features to the lineup. You already have three compelling iPhones launching in the same year. Why add another one that doesn't bring much to the table?
Apple- might be removing the dedicated Action Button from its 20th-anniversary iPhone.
Instead, its functionality could be integrated into the Camera Control button, allowing users to assign custom shortcuts without needing an additional physical button.
My thoughts on Apple so far:
> Adding a touchscreen to the MacBook wasn't necessary. It's a cool demo, but I don't see it being practical for 99% of users.
> The Duo was way too hyped. As Apple's first foldable, it wasn't supposed to be perfect, even with 8 years of development. There's a difference between developing a product behind closed doors, hoping to get everything right, and putting it out there, learning from real-world use and improving with each generation. That's what Samsung and other foldable manufacturers have been doing for years.
> I'm not really sold on HomeView. I understand the appeal of having dedicated smart home controls, but why not integrate those features into the iPad Pro instead of introducing another separate device.
> The variable aperture lens on the iPhone 18 Pro will probably appeal mostly to tech enthusiasts and photographers. That's a relatively small percentage of the overall smartphone market, perhaps 20% of consumers at most.
> The iPhone 20 is one product Apple has genuinely got me excited about. It looks like a major departure from the traditional hardware designs we've grown accustomed to from Apple.
> Siri still needs a lot of work. Apple needs to make it more deeply integrated into the ecosystem, especially on iPhone. It should be able to access files, organise emails and handle more complex everyday tasks, similar to what Bixby already offers.
