the 6P also overheats with normal use, goes down to 50% performance after 10 minutes of doing anything vaguely intensive. gr8 thermals huawei.

at least the 6P doesn't bend with normal use (it disintegrates)

also wasn't the encryption total crap and slowed the device down so bad they disabled it with a software update?

i mean this is the phone that effectively killed the Nexus line. feel sorry for anyone who had a previous Nexus and "upgraded" to this only to get Huawei garbage

The same insane MEgaCorp White KNights who dismissed the iPhone 6 bending with normal use jumped on this video like rabid dogs. Proof positive of psychopathy. The encryption works perfectly and I have never encountered a single slowdown, bug, or error. If a user encounters such a thing, they're Holding it Wrong.

oh hey john fireball weighed in on the "courage" comment

he thought it was actually extremely good

it's really bad when one of your biggest fanboys can not muster up a convincing argument. he compares it to not supporting flash, and in the next paragraph concedes that the audio jack isn't bad unlike flash. the other point is that if they didn't remove it then the airbuds wouldn't sell as much, thus robbing people of the superior experience..

and i'm pretty sure using lightning to passthrough an analog audio signal is the hardware equivalent of flash.

Also my wife has an iPad she got as a gift from my parents and if you ask her she'll say she loves it but she hasn't used the thing in literal months

She is right now as I type this couch-browsing (aka the #1 use case for tablets) with her giant 6-year-old MBP balanced on her stomach

you may not know this because you don't go there, but when your outside its easier to see a phone screen if its brighter.

the lumia 950's brightness range is 1 to 628 nits and the auto brightness control is so well calibrated that you will never touch the brightness settings ever.

there not being a strava app for winphones is kind of a deal breaker for me right now even if i wanted one, because i'd have to get an entirely separate garmin or something and those run like $300
