How long do you keep your phone for?

Do you upgrade yearly? Do you keep your phone until your service provider's contact is over? Or do you hold on to it until the battery can't hold a charge and/or software support is over?

The jump from one gen to the next (especially for flagships) is now pretty tiny. Sure benchmark results are still improving, but for daily use it's damn near impossible to tell a difference. Couple that with most companies moving to increase their software support committment to 3 years, chip shortages, and ri...

Launcher discussion: Isn't it time for launchers to support app tagging?

In a world where we can tag everything from photos to tasks, it's interesting that we haven't extended this to launchers and app folders.

I'm not talking about simply putting your app into a folder. If you delete a folder, then you need to manually remake & re-add your apps back into that folder. Instead, I'm specifically talking about creating a list of tags, bulk adding tags to an app, or bulk adding apps to a tag. These tags could then be utilized to:

Search for apps based on tags

The fact that you can't control auto-correct on a per-app basis is incredibly frustrating

I like having autocorrect in certain apps, like Google search and messages. However, in other apps in is very counterproductive and noticeably degrades the experience.

How is the the touchscreen smoothness on android products compared to iOS?

The only reason I haven’t switched to android is how smooth I think iOS is compared to android.

I’ve been thinking of switching to android in the near future but I have had this image of android phones having a laggy touchscreen compared to iOS ever since I’ve touched one like 10 yrs ago.

To people who has both, or have tried both recent ios/android units how different does it feel?...
