[kevenmayne]

That's for the iPad, not for iPhone, though..

iPhone still starting out at 16GB storage. Phone manufacturers need to cut that bull **** (not just Apple).

While I agree 16GB isn't enough storage for my personal needs I feel like there is still a decent demographic that won't need more than 16GB. If it means manufacturers can drop the price a little and more people will buy their product I think it'll remain in the market.

16GB to 32GB costs the manufacturers next to nothing. It's simply a business tactic to get you to give them an extra $100 knowing that a lot of people are willing to spend that for the extra storage. A lot less people would be willing to do the storage upgrade from the base model if the base model was 32GB.

I accidentally spilled some protein shake on top of my phone yesterday. Some milk managed to get inside the earpiece but I didn't think too much about it since it wasn't a lot.

Now I could barely hear anything when people call me. My tech brethren, is there a solution for this?

LG Nexus is trash

 

[T Lo Sweater]

Went up there. Told me 200. Then tried to tell me if I cop a nexus 6, the watch would be 99 cents.

Ppl on reddit bought both then returned the nexus or sold it. But it sounds like a hassle

at that Apple pic

Yeah I feel you, just sorta playing Devil's advocate. I always need that extra storage space. I went with the 32GB model on the first-gen iPod touch and people said I was crazy lol

 

[nelson999]

im gonna cop the 16gb moto x since it has a micro SD slot anyway

 

[jewelknows]

I was very underwhelmed with the Apple release like I thought I would. Im tired of this 6 as well. I guess it will be between the Nexus, Moto X and OP2. I miss Android too much. I am enjoying the continuity of iMessage between my laptop and iPad. I can do without that though.

I mean, why are you gonna show off 4k video capabilities when you can only take 30 seconds of it before you run out of storage?

 

[T Lo Sweater]

Yea, keep us posted. I thought smartwatches were just some bogus foolishness but after getting my first Pebble, I'm convinced. Comes through clutch especially in the winter and at the gym.

took it off the charger at 830 am today

its 930 pm now

im at 44 percent battery. can easily get another few hours of usage tomorrow but i charge all my gadgets overnight

it holds up really well

Got a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

Converted from iPhone. I love it so far

The one thing I notice is the battery life isnt great though. If I leave for work at 100% im usually at 5% when I leave to go home 8 hours later. Any advice?

Also, any general apps or websites you guys reccomend to help me learn a bit? Thanks!

I don't know any GS6 Edge specific tips but here are some general Android battery saving tips

Uninstall/disable apps that you don't use, keep your screen brightness low, turn off data/wifi/location when you're not using them, use a dark wallpaper, shorten the screen timeout, turn off sync if it's not necessary

Look into using Greenify and maybe check out GSAM Battery Monitor to see what's eating up your battery.

Apple's creativity went to the grave with Steve Jobs. They're just a giant marketing scheme at this point.

The round finger scanner, the two-tone LED flash, and the laser autofocus system of LG, are also clearly visible. The insiders that tipped this slide have also reconfirmed the rumored specs to be a 5.2" 1080p LCD display, a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 hexa-core processor, clocked at 1.8 GHz maximums, and paired with an LTE Cat. 6 cellular modem, as well as 2 GB of RAM, and 32/64 GB of internal storage.

The rear camera is listed as 12.3 MP, which will likely be branded as a 13 MP shooter, and a 5 MP selfie snapper is allegedly placed at the front. The only ho-hum endeavor is the 2700 mAh juicer, but Nexus phones have rarely been excellent in terms of battery life, so there you go.

looks turrble.


...srsly looks bad.


quick rant...

type c can take its time in becoming commonplace (tho i want it sooner rather than later). but real world all day battery, fast charging, and water resistance should really be standard on any smartphone you buy today. there should be no reason at this point why these features aren't on every device. everyone wants a phone that can last all day with typical use, and water resistance is great for protecting against the most likely forms of moisture that would come into contact with a phone: sweat, rain, accidental spill. fast charging isn't difficult to engineer nor will it alter the shape of a phone, and for the prices we pay, that **** should be in every phone sold today.

also thinner isn't always better.

looks like a Samsung Galaxy S3.

and I think all those features were on the Nexus 6. but the "experts" didn't think it was a good phone.

you get what you ask for.

Apple makes solid products. If I didn't use Google services heavy I would have an iPhone.

Their new payment plan option looks solid and you can avoid carrier locked devices.

Yo just saw that this is how you charge the Apple Pencil

The design of that Nexus though 

Leaning towards the Note 5.
