Is anyone else considering switching to Apple for this reason...

I feel like it's the only real privacy conscious option left.

To be clear, I hate iOS and the hardware limits on iPhones (lightning first and foremost)

However Google just doesn't fill me with an trust anymore. I was on the brink, but now with the reveal that they have removed the blocks bergen your name / personal info and their search / advertising ID, I think they've finally done a Facebook and forced me out.

Speaking of Facebook. I'm British. Unlike Americans, the rest of the world is mos...

It sure looks like Samsung/Amazon sliced off some of the Galaxy M bezels in this ad

It definitely looks like Amazon/Samsung are slicing off some of the bottom chin (and slightly ever-so, side bezels) in the promotional materials of their latest M-series models ( Galaxy M10, M20) on Amazon's website.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (6GB, 128GB) Exynos Definitive Written Review

To start off, I've recently switched to the note 9 from my old and trusty Galaxy S7 which has served me well for the past 3 years. However as I have come to expect, my S7 is suffering from very bad slowdowns as well as atrocious batter life which made me decide to finally upgrade. At first I was thinking of getting a OnePlus 6T. Great specs, value for money etc. But because my carrier(Singtel, Singapore) did not offer OnePlus Devices. I chose the note 9 easily over the Iphones which costs absolu...

What do you have to gain from buying a flagship phone on launch-day instead of waiting for price drop or buying last year's flagship?

If you wait more than a month after launch-day, it's all but guaranteed that the phone's price will drop. **The more you wait, the bigger the discount** will become. After one year, it will cost 50% of the original price (hundreds of $ less).

**Alternatively**, you can **buy last year's flagship at half the price** of the new flagship.

​

New flagship vs last year's flagship:

\- The **camera** on the new flagship is **only marginally better** than last year's flagship. You probably **c...

Beware of colorful phone cases

I bought a case for my Pixel 2 XL from Amazon less than a month ago. Just something slim and shiny, not a lot of protection, but enough to keep the phone in decent condition -- or so I thought.

Last night when I went to change the SIM card, I removed the case only to find that it's color had transferred to the phone!
