This is honestly the saddest thing I’ve read in years, maybe even decades. Tech is such an shitty abyss right now, ten years ago people got excited because of truly revolutionary features , like cameras that were better than $1000 digital cameras, 4G that made the internet not just usable but fast biometrics that actually worked, on a phone, in your pocket, like holy fuck that was mind blowing. We’ve gone so far down…

The new system on a chip is an insane innovation but it’s “under the hood”.

10% faster P cores, E cores are the same speed. Some updates to the neural core thing that no one cares about. How is that insane?

Apple, I don’t want a giant phone that I have to carry in my hands. Make another mini version that costs less than $2k and you can have my money. I already have an iPad or several laptops that I can do “big” things on.

The iPhone mini is 135g. You can use it with one hand. It fits into any pocket. Take it with you when running (or swimming) and there‘s no need for an Apple Watch. Also, you don‘t need to twist your hand when paying but just pull it out of your pocket. I have read books on this thing, because, guess what, you can change font size on any reader and actually hold it for hours without your arm falling off. Have cracked…

Honestly for me the best part is the USB-C. Every year it's a new camera, new whatever, but USB-C is going to mean I can get rid of all these lightning cables. Not increasing the price is nice, I guess. Will have to buy more USB-C cables, though. (Technically the low highest end phone is higher, but higher spec, too). It comes with one USB-C to USB-C charging cable - not sure if it is a data cable, also. Pre-order Fr…

We wanted a folding phone, we got a new usb port instead. Lamest release.

Zenphone 10 is here for you :)

And then throw it away after 2 pathetic years of support?

As far as I can tell, the Zenphone 10 is much bigger and heavier than the iPhone 12/13 mini. It's much, much closer to the 13/14/15 (non pro) phones.

I fail to understand your point. What kind of feature do you to be excited to see in a product that is 16 years old? Do you think the and thing when you buy a new dishwasher, a couch, a chair? That it’s mediocre? Smartphones are not the future anymore, there’s people starting university soon that always had one, and never lived in a world without the iPhone. Also, besides arguably the first few iPhones, Apple never d…

> which is why bending phones or poorly designed antennas are more important for them

I see what you did there
