As someone with long hair and a beard, I hate Face ID with a passion. It doesn’t work 90% of the time, and makes me have to do multiple attempt only to eventually have to type out my passwords like it’s 2005. It’s made every new Apple device abject misery to use for me, to the point where I’ve had to disable passwords and am considering switching to android.Speaking as a designer, Whoever thought this was a good idea needs to go back to design school.

This is an interesting segment. People obviously have little desire to unfold their foldables (which is why they clamor for regular-sized front displays), yet this one asks you to unfold TWICE, in different directions. For a premium price. 🤔

One of the reasons I’m upgrading is Apple Intelligence, though I’m realistically prepared to be underwhelmed by it.

The main detractor for corporations is the 30% protection tax in the forced app store. Enterprises often use custom apps delivered by application vendors. Why on earth would anyone spend an extra 30% on those, just because Apple wants money? Everything about Apple's VR endeavour is a disaster. Especially when software is already one of the biggest expenses for larger corporations?

Best Buy gave me $1,099 for my iPhone 14 Pro 128gb for a Pixel 9 Pro XL and they also gave me a $200 gift card.

This is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. Google is good at what they do, the other search engine companies cannot keep up. Do they want us to use bing? Bing is a joke... so is ask.com. Companies use Google because it's good for business. Of course Samsung is going to use Google as a default search engine, Samsung phones run android... Which is Google software. Why would goootle make another company it's default search for a software they own. Google also can run on several platforms.
