They didn’t.

Trackers unconditionally have every right to exist.

Is this a copypasta?? It’s should be if not.

>Why the fuck would ANYONE need a 1500€ phone???????????

Exactly. Buy one of these and 2 spare batteries it would keep you going for years.

I would be more concerned about a lack of software updates / excess software bloat causing issues years down the line.

So it’s bullshit

Considering all the blank real estate on the base, for the sake of the goof, you'd think they'd have gone all out and make it a truly huge keyboard that fills up the entire base instead of just the relatively smaller portion that it does.

100 pounds? I mean 50" tvs are relatively light these days, maybe 20 pounds? Even that sounds high. Meanwhile a typical laptop these days must weigh maybe 5 to 10 pounds. Where is all the extra weight coming from? Did they just load up the base with a bunch of extra weight so that it doesn't fall over when you pull up the screen?

no

There are a ton of shady movers in the industry trying to make a buck by cutting down overhead. They’ll move your stuff into a storage unit until they can combine it with other clients’ stuff into a larger (semi) truck headed in the same direction.

This level of coordination requires quite a network to work smoothly which most don’t have, hence the excessive delays and demands for more money. Possibly the worst part is that they’re staffed by the absolute cheapest day-laborers available who probably don’t care about treating your property with respect.

Absolutely. Both are less than useful. While I'm not worried about it, it would be nice to have a standalone, always on device that always sweeps. Or maybe something you could plug into the. Car that does a sweep every time you start the car.

Guess prepare for them to be even worse now as QC still has to ramp up in India. Ballsy move to put their most premium phoned in a new untested location, which as apple has seen is still far quality wise from traditional markets; should have probably gambled with the A series phones

Very mild argument that one could ship something valuable and have the boys rob the shipper and the one who shipped can get their product back and claim on the shipping insurance.

Personally though I feel the pros outweigh the cons and folks just really get upset because it shows incompetence in actually shipping something.

Folks have been throwing these into luggages and finding out their shit is stuck in a hallway somewhere nearby rather than where the airliner thinks it is.

I'd rather buy 10 of those phones than a new "flagship" phone. People only use their phones to browse facebook and tiktok anyway. Why the fuck would i need a 1500€ phone? Why the fuck would ANYONE need a 1500€ phone???????????

(owning a 5 year old HMD nokia 4.2 which cost 100€ and still runs fine. People near me are buying 1000€-1500€ phones every 6 months.)

I mean. 100 pounds on your lap isn’t not that bad. People sit on each other all the time lol

21st century, join us please.

You can use the lightening port if you absolutely must have wired headphones. Time to move on though, about 0.002% of iphone users are audiophiles, the rest don’t give a fuck. And the new AirPod pros are absolutely unreal.

They don’t have to remove it, it’s a cool feature the phone has and actually really practical.

So much this. There is no rational reason for them to have an issue unless it blunts their predatory business model

Yeah, you gotta love the “is a device” in the headline. No it’s not.

No. How do you expect to upgrade ram on a smartphone SoC, when the ram is on the same silicon as your CPU/GPU/modem?

What they call "virtual memory" is certainly an equivalent to the swap on your PC. You use some of your hardrive space as your RAM. The downside is that it is incredibly slow.

So can I buy one?

I can’t find the actual listing anywhere…

That's what I was wondering. Only 3y of update support, and that "unknown" SoC probably doesn't have good custom ROM support. So after the 3y of official support you are probably stuck with an unsecured device, that you cannot update through customs ROM like LineageOS.

Also can we talk about about that 6,5" 720p display? What an atrocious thing to put your eyes on...

I think I had one of these in college. Dell Inspiron 9100. My gosh that thing was an absolute tank.

Does it drains your battery more quickly? Actively searching sounds like it will take a lot of power to do constantly.
