    How was Apple late to the game with edge to edge displays? They only started appearing on flagships in 2017, this is their first phone release since then. Not to mention most of th…

    Getting rid of a physical button is hardly a decent hardware feature. I would've been massively disappointed if apple had gone the android route and just slapped a virtual button i…

    Before the AirPods came out I had a pair of Jaybird X2's. For me at least being able to hang them around my neck when not in use did not help keep from losing them, it's the REASON…

    A lot of these I don't think are different phrasings, they're different in meaning as well. A closer rephrasing with similar sentiment is: "No one cares" All the phrasing you provi…
