It’s their backend that’s just slow.

Thankfully, iOS 11 AppStore is much faster for everything.

As we all can see, we're narrowing the release of a new iPhone. An article from June gets reposted...

I don't think the difference here is the population size.

I think the biggest difference is the target audience.

Old computer magazines: sophisticated, educated readers that want the truth.

New tech sites: uneducated masses, typically teenagers that just want confirmation bias on their choice.

It's also increasingly complicated today to be a magazine like Byte was back in the day. Even if a team tries really hard, it's no use, the universe is so big that's impossible to report everything, the publication will always be lying by occultation.

Nice!

Movies and TV series is just something there's always space for more.

Suits Apple, they normally position themselves in a manner that nobody needs to lose for them to win.

Are you suggesting that Apple is using Bluetooth out of spec?

Also, that headphone thing? Apple uses the same pinout as Sony, HTC, Nokia, the main players in the phone business before Samsung.

I hate this, right now, you can’t do anything out of free will.

I’m not insured with them, but if I am, can I go to the gym, and enjoy it, or will I be always subconsciously thinking “I’m doing this to save insurance money”.

I’m saddened to see Apple go that way to sell Apple Watches, I would expect this from many companies, none of them being Apple. BTW, loving my Series 0 since the first day they came out.

Apple users won’t complain, sure there will be a lot of fake iHater complaints on the web, but you can choose your search engine provider on iOS and anyone smart enough to be bothered, will be smart enough to change the search provider.

Which Siri fiasco?

Siri is “just” the second most used personal assistant, and the iPhone only has a 10-15% marketshare.

No, they can't.

Because on iOS, first, it's only possible with SIP calls. Second, a red tab bar appears while on that, alerting the user that a background call is in place. Third, Apps can't make this on their own, no background execution.

Also, there's no way Apps can access any logs on iOS.

Nope.

However, Swift 4 is very close to Swift 3 for the most part and the source migrator should work for the most menial transformations.

Ray Wanderlich tutorials are good quality, but I don’t really like the way he writes.

I recommend to look at this site, he’s a really “clean” teacher

Did you actually read the article or it’s just antibodies working?

Actually I didn’t, but they provide with more sources to supplant their narrative than any other “legitimate news source” that I have encountered.

This is exactly why I hate Google and want everything coming from them to fail.

This won’t appear on mainstream tech sites, because Google buys the press, and with it, millions of fanboys.

It’s a shame that excellent pool of talent is wasted in this company with no principles and ridiculously bad management.

So... what Apple has been doing since iOS 8 or 9 IIRC...

No, it’s true, watch WWDC 2017

Bluetooth battery indicator is on iPhone since 2007.

Android?

Of course, an Android fanboy site defends the Android cult and tells their readers that it's okay, it's just him that's wrong.

Ridiculous defense.

"androidcentral.com", yeah, really seems unbiased...

No, that’s the implementation of an array. In reality an array is an array.

The best things about Tesla is that they don’t make and don’t have inventory of ICE cars they need to sell.

A good programmer is someone that possesses the same knowledge and experience of another good programmer.

A good programmer doesn’t exist in nature.

Now a good team is something that takes a couple of years of hard, honest work with stellar management. A rarity.
