Is Samsung really that dominant in Europe? That’s news to me. Is there a distinction between poorer or richer countries?

2T. Also Nord 2 is not budget it's mid range. N200 is budget.

I mean that wasn’t a feature that was really important to me and I don’t feel stuck, the only features I would lose if I decided to go back to android are face time and iMessage. After having both phones the os wars are kind of absurd for 90% of people imo. If you do a lot of side loading or emulating on your phone sure android is the choice, if you own other apple products the iPhone makes more sense, if neither of those points matter which to most people they don’t just get whatever one has the better deal or you find more appealing to hood and use.

Yeah, but then you're stuck with an apple phone and no ability to sideload apps

What I’m supposed to do when the screen breaks. Or the whole phone?

I did plenty of research before I bought the Ultra. It wasn’t until I used it that I discovered that the way I use smart watches made it a poor choice for me. There are several design and user experience issues, the battery life as I’m experiencing is worse than reviews and official documentation made me expect, and the comfortability of the watch and it’s bands during certain activities that I do sucked. And unfortunately it took me about 4 weeks longer than the return window to hit critical mass of frustration. So now it sits in my watch case while I happily wear my Fenix 7.

Unless it is not. Heard many similar when they release airpods and watch. I am not a fan , but don't underestimate Apple.

I think Sony is the only exception to this. Afaik sony phones get support for a long time after release.

It’s possible they may be aimed at an enterprise market, which may make more sense for the price.
I can’t find any numbers for Oculus Pro, but it is half the price.
However Apple headset would be much tighter knit to the ecosystem of some companies, so there may be a huge value add there that may allow it to beat Oculus number with a high price. Guess we’ll see in June

When I got my 7T it was the cheapest phone on the market running the latest chipset, also the fastest charging phone on the market.
I've taken like 20 pictures total with my phone, don't care, wife takes the pictures. Gaming is what it important to me (and charging speed now that I've lived with 60W charging a while).
ASUS Rog phones barely worked on the US network when the 7T was new, specifically the LTE band at the pole up the street that was most important to check.

Right before my dad passed recently, I showed him how to answer a call from his Apple Watch like dick tracy. Most excited I’d seen him in years! He was in the hospital calling me randomly.

Edit: maybe I’m being too pessimistic. Apparently meta quest 2 has sold 15 MM units in 2 years, which I never would have expected. Obviously that model is much cheaper than the price target apple is setting

Mine is accurate unless my wrist is bent back. That screws with it a LOT. I know it makes a huge difference depending on how tight I have it. If it's really snug then it will say my HR is 52 when it's over 140.

Counterpoint: It is exceptional, this is nitpicking of sorts? Users don’t pay for it, and the long term data trends over time are outstanding. It’s not a coach or professional training software, and once that is internalized, I think you’ll better understand that what’s being voiced here is the assumption that it should be. It can be inconsistent in some of the conclusions it draws, but it’s exceptional for free software (and the complaints are irrelevant if you’re already drafting your own training plans, and modifying them based on the physiological data you’re able to collect with this level of Forerunner)

I just got a oneplus 10 pro from the 5t only cause the battery was waining and the screen was started to lift at the one edge... I dropped my new phone from 1 foot and it cracked the whole backside within the case. My 5T has never cracked...
I stil have the old phone, kinda want to back to it but the super charging is pretty nice

In all honesty, I know that many people don't sideload apps. But what I don't know is how they manage like that. There's just sooooo many ads. YouTube has minute long ads, ffs sometimes in the middle of the video I think. Games have tons of ads. Just general apps will have ads. Reddit's official app, tons of ads.... Why do people choose that life instead of sideloading better apps and ad blockers???
