yeah the iPhone, and iPad were certainly trend following devices

I still don't understand what possible use case you could ever have for an iPad, or any other smartphone-OS tablet. At least Microsoft makes an x86 Surface.

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

real answer: as a cost-cutting measure leaving out the nfc hardware to keep the unit price down

ideal answer: because tim is making an effort to correct his mistakes and phase out poorly conceived features

including Apple Pay is like the entire reason they're doing a new 4inch phone instead of just selling the 5 still

I dunno why anyone would be excited to buy a slightly upgraded version of an old phone with a tiny screen though. like if you're gonna spend money get the new $#%#!!

I'm working retail while I wait for college to start and Apple Pay or any other contactless NFC payment system is totally pointless because company policy still requires people to enter their PINs manually for debit accounts or to sign all receipts for credit accounts. It's slower and more of a hassle to use them.

though on the other hand, all of the vending machines at my university are now equipped for apple pay so it is more convenient than swiping a card or feeding change

i think the biggest innovation that steve brought to apple wasn't just his sense of design or what makes a good product, it was the utter contempt he had for people who actually work in tech, including engineers and especially executives

tim actually lets the very bad and dumb employees have their sway and as a result design and overall quality is slipping because if you give them an inch they'll take a mile

actually samsung pay can work with chip readers, because the credit card number it blasts to fool the magstripe reader into thinking a card was swiped can still be tokenized, i.e. its not the same numbers that are actually printed on the card. but that requires samsung to work directly with every bank

the tokenized number wont have the flag to require a chip be used so it could still work, but that's just the bank's decision. if youre directly converting your debit card to samsung pay and then your bank updates your card to have a chip and there's no integration beyond that, then yeah it wouldnt work

its just a really ghetto way of getting mobile payments going in the us in the interim while everything transitions

as i understand it, there are two major manufacturers for the a9 chip and one of the two has significant performance problems i don't recall which

moreover, one was produced in korea and one in china resulting in some nationalist furor over which was installed in a given phone

sarnsung and tsmc

they use different process nodes and have different performance characteristics and power envelopes, so of coursed they're mixed randomly through the 6s and 6s+ lines
