When it comes to devices that “time out” rather than wear out.

The sooner you get it the longer it’s useful life is. And the more use you will get out of it.

Sure you could wait 25% of its useful life to get it 25% off. But the math on that trade off isn’t great.

Same reason I don’t really understand the market for year old cell phones at 85-95% of initial msrp

interlopers.

back to the apple thread with you.

May make sense for iDevices as they get 5-6 years of iOS updates. Even Pixel 6 only get 3. So the rumor of 5 year update are 3 OS and 2 security. So underwhelmed.

iPhone 13 pro is only $200 more and get at least 2 years of iOS updates or more. That definitely keep the resale much better on iPhones.

It's 3 years OS and 5 for security for Pixel 6.

I was at Joeys with friends last night, and I tapped the NFC token to pull up the menu. My Apple friends just sat there like dunces.

I had no idea that Apple can't do NFC!

haha, wtf.

edit: or maybe my friends dont know what they are doing?

Yep also had a Samsung galaxy S3 and that had wireless charging years before Apple even thought to do it.

All the iPhones released in recent years have NFC. In fact, every iPhone since iPhone 6, which came out in 2014, has a built-in NFC chip

Shhh the Android people like to pretend they are special. They don’t have much, let them have this.

Still waiting for my shipping notification email I managed to get a Spigen case delivered as those are out of stock right now as well.

Looks like it has the best camera except for video.

Basically the same story for Pixel forever. Tensor didn't change the game.

As best Android phone benchmarks has not exceeded Apple A12, also not surprised. Google need to poach Apple processor folks if they are serious about Tensor, Snapdragon is pulling an Intel resting on their laurels.

Tensor is just a re badged exynos from Samsung is it not? Made by Samsung at least.


But yea, Apples chips are still king.

Still, the new pixel looks pretty good. If I was getting an Android phone a pixel would be the only one I would consider now.

Is it lacking in video in any way that 99% of users are going to even be aware of?

Anyone else install android 12? It's absolutely killing my battery life and I've tried playing around with settings with not much luck.

Hoping there are some updates coming soon for it.
