I agree that it’s suspicious. This is a HUGE number that would imply a drastic change in their development process and I’m surprised that they don’t give much more information, especially since (as you said) it would promote their product.

Thanks ! ❤️

Not disappointed by The Verge, first paragraph paraphrases the title with no source and the following is just off topic.

I’d be surprised if it wasn’t a bit more subtle than that. While the medium really facilitate the behavior that you describe, I’m pretty sure that it also hosts sane usages, creative content and positive communities.

So if it’s true, Tim Cook isn’t thrilled about strong regulation? What a surprising and breaking news from the CEO of an no-so-far-from-monopolistic company!

Trump really sounds like a child complaining that his parents forbid him to play video games after 8pm.

What kind of innovation do you have in mind?

Answering from my Fairphone 3 & its brand new battery 😎

The improvement on cameras is nice though, but I think it’s been nice enough for anyone for a while and people are just comparing color balance now.

I think the phone industry is trying very hard to look interesting but it’s been a while since anybody cared? Or is it really just me?

Yeah but they have one killer feature others don’t : shuting up these f**king notifications.

You could still go for a premium subscription, but I don’t trust Google with my money either.

I hope this would make some quality content creators to move to another platform, but I don’t really believe in this.

But at least France is holding its hand this time! 🙃

I’m relieved that the group I wanted to vote was against. I’m frightened that it was the only one against in France 😱

Plus I would guess that few country could also rebuild the whole manufacturing process in a few years?

That makes a lot of sense👍

Where do you live?

I think it’s been a long time since digital companies tried to solve actual problems.

I was more thinking that if people were paying they might give more thoughts to what they are diving into. But yeah I agree that’s just a wet dream.

You mean that having N+1 sensors every other year is redundant. My phone is 4 years old and had already a quite bad camera at that time so I wouldn’t know.

Seeing photos from other people it’s obvious how good phones have become (even if there might be some overengineering), on the other hand my phone also had a bad CPU / RAM / Battery / Screen for the time and people who have phones with more computing power than my laptop do the exact same things as I do.

I hope for one good thing to come out from all this AI madness : people might get used to pay for a service on the internet again. If this miraculously happens it could lead to people more cautiously choose services over quality instead of the one with darkest patterns.

One can still dream…

My FP3 hanged around in my pocket unprotected for 4 years and still has no scratch on its screen. I feel like the industry learned how to make basically indestructible glass for a while (except if you casually put diamonds in the same pocket).
