i could not give a fart about the headphone jack the home button is a little weird but touch id so fast i don't care the naked phone still feels like a greased ferret trying to jump out of your hand, gotta get a case for it the last phone i submerged was a nokia flip in high school, so i doubt the waterproofness will matter? battery life: Very Good!

eric posted:Scott o'reilly spreading FUD reading through the replies to that tweet, he replied to himself saying that by "inactivity" he meant not playing audio. so if you pause music/podcast playback for 5+ minutes, you won't be able to resume by clicking the little button on the headphones if they're the lightning headphones or plugged in via the lightning->3.5mm adapter until you unplug then plug them back in. annoying, but not a big deal and probably just an oversight by apple. it doesn't mean that audio cuts out or anything like that.

The camera modules and displays for Nexus 4 mobile phones are identical phone-to-phone, for all intents and purposes. What poo poo-rear end phone are you using that has to have the camera calibrated? I mean, I can see apple maybe calibrating the displays individually for iPad Pros or something, but usually that's not something that needs to be done.

zen death robot posted:to me the main thing about apple is still the fact that if I'm a clumsy idiot and bust my screen there are usually multiple Apple stores to get my phone fixed properly for a reasonable price anywhere within a few hours then about 2 weeks ago i dropped my phone on my way to work, shattered the top left corner of the screen. got the screen replaced on the same day. two days later i drop the phone again and the glass goes neatly in two with a horizontal break in the lower third of the screen.

even the cheapest camera modules are going to have defect pixel correction tables and the like usually the table is on module itself though

atomicthumbs posted:i don't buy it almost all components that have mechanical parts need some calibration. it is much cheaper to correct lens distortion in software than to manufacture perfect lenses. bad pixels are corrected in software, increasing CCD yields. display backlights variations, pixel response, driver strength variations, all require device-specific correction. accelerometers have correction matrices and magnetometers need to be oriented.

Sagebrush posted:i'd imagine stuff like that is all in the camera board EEPROM, not in the phone's memory you're not thinking fourth dimensionally, marty 1) having storage in the camera module itself costs money. using the mass storage on the phone is free. embedded is all about shaving pennies off the bill of materials 2) the mass storage has special zones that are outside the normal area that is used by the OS as a block device, and cannot be wiped out by a normal restore process. these store the NAND block map and other storage-specific data, but also stuff like the device serial number, possibly the boot loader and encryption keys, and factory calibration settings. 3) there is no recalibration routine you can do at home. this requires a factory fixture to perform.

The Management posted:you're not thinking fourth dimensionally, marty I work in mobile image processor design and his is a correct post. Your phone probably has some data that is stored in non-voltatile memory that is not visible to the OS and is only accessible by hardware (like by the camera itself). That said, there are algorithmic ways to do dead pixel correction (threshold based dead pixel correction which picks out pixels that vary too much from surrounding pixels vs table based dead pixel correction which uses a look up table of dead pixels for the specific sensor) that may let you detect dead pixels on the fly and not require you to actually store the location of dead pixels in your sensor, but every smartphone will have a few dead pixels in the camera sensor that are replaced by software. There are also lens imperfections that and other hardware differences that vary from phone to phone and various ways of compensating for those differences so whether or not this is actually something you have to update can vary from one model of phone to another.

the first time it cracked i somehow got beer in it and then there were some hella rad specks of white light moving up and down the display for a bit but a big black blob in the centre so that was pretty useless

DisplayMate Technologies has declared iPhone 7has the "best LCD display" it has ever tested, calling it "truly impressive" and a "major upgrade" over the iPhone 6 based on a series of advanced viewing tests and measurements. iPhone 7 achieved the highest color accuracy, peak brightness, and contrast rating in bright light of any smartphone display, the highest contrast ratio of any IPS LCD display, and the lowest screen reflectance of any smartphone display. "the most color accurate display" that it has ever measured, adding that the smartphone's display is "very likely considerably better than any mobile display, monitor, TV, or UHD TV" that consumers have.
