seems odd that you can still get every color every size and every capacity of the 8 for pick up or delivery on launch day. didn't past launches of in-demand combinations get backordered within an hour or so or am I misremembering?

Don't mask or call special attention to key display features. Don't attempt to hide the device's rounded corners, sensor housing, or indicator for accessing the Home screen by placing black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Don't use visual adornments like brackets, bezels, shapes, or instructional text to call special attention to these areas either.

people might be waiting for the X

or they might’ve gotten all that poo poo figured out by now since the iphone 8 design isn’t a huge departure from the 6, 6S, & 7.

so, basically, if your app is using the correct UI positioning stuff already (Autolayout, anchoring constraints to the system-provided edge insets, using the built-in navbar & toolbar elements, etc) then your app will Just Work.

apps that do dumb poo poo like assuming status bar height, anchoring to vertical insets but not horizontal ones, making their own navbar & toolbar UI elements instead of customizing the built-in ones, etc, will be the only ones affected.

Apple should just move to releases every 18-24 months like they've done with Macs and iPads. Every other major smart phone maker would follow.

apple sells about 75 million phones per launch quarter and about 40-50 million other quarters. moving the launch day of the phone out by a week has a noticeable impact on their earnings which hits the stock price. pushing out the release by 6 months would make shareholders very sad.

it would be really cool to see how apple's cpus perform in a non-power-constrained system (ie desktop). big honkin heatsink, no thermal throttling or worries about draining a battery.

they'd probably run software that's designed for the architecture at an amazing speed. the problem is, outside of apple oses and more specifically ios, nothing is designed to run on them.

let's go back to the very early 90s where you like had a CHOICE, man, a choice for your hardware. fuckin' RISC OS, BeOS on PowerPC chips, enough of this boring wintel stuff! *massive bong rip*
