idk seems like the news app would be better suited to news stories? why check stocks a dozen times a day with no intention to act on the price changes?

the news app doesn't gather financial news and sorts them by stock, and isn't particularly useful for breaking company news.

I check stocks because I have companies in which I have a lot of money invested or am interested in investing. I like to be aware of their news and reporting cycle and how they perform relative to news and the rest of the market. there are rare cases where I spot a special circumstance and go into my brokerage account to do a trade, but that only happens a few times a year. my trading is not that time sensitive.

so are they scrapping touch id, the best security on a mobile device, for faceid? or will it be like those early patents suggested where it'll be able to read your fingerprint anywhere on the screen

i'm going to be super disappointed if they got rid of touch id

the main reason i like the force touch trackpad is that there isn't a hinge at top, it takes the same amount of force to make a click no matter where you do it. it's beautiful, and magical, and amazing.

life isnt like the wall street movies. even for people who actively pick stocks (the minority) they hold their positions for months or years

the purpose of the stocks app is to ruin your mood whenever you pull down on the widgets thing and the top 5 are in the red

also the design of iPhones post Steve are too thin [pbuh] garbage that are impossible to hold so more thickness is good. naturally it's for a dumb reason like a glass back instead of more battery

yea that was my point, for what it does it's weird that it's included by default in ios. maybe somewhere along the line the code monkey finalizing ios misinterpreted its description as "a stock app" :rimshot:

only thing i hate is the upclick is too soft, and completely missing if you start dragging. ruins the illusion of physical buttons
