"It's Glowtime" in reference to glowies pwning your software and hardware out-of-the-box. Appropriate. At least they're upfront about it.
Similar comment in the Apple sub didn't get as much love.
An interesting dichotomy of the audience
Yaaaay! My partner and I don’t NEED to, but we’re gonna finally upgrade our six year old iPhones! I just want USB-C, a 120hz screen, and a Terabyte. My partner is on 64 gifs and that is NOT enough for the cat pics we take.
I am on iPhone X but changed the battery this year instead and will see how it goes.
If the rumors for the capture button are true it’s pretty neat. Being able to zoom, focus, and snap a picture with the same capacitive button is neat, and would make smartphone camerawork be nearly as easy as digital cameras from twenty five years ago! 😅
Sony has had the dedicated focus/snap button for years but zoom is handled by the volume buttons. I liked that setup, but went away from them earlier this year because their phone keeps overheating in camera mode. That was as of mark IV anyway. I hear the new ones are better but not sure how much.
I never got on the Xperia train cause my buddy had a rough experience with one (long before I went to the dark side and bought an iPhone).
But I did think the camera stuff seemed cool.
One of the few things I truly miss going from my OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Edition (greatest phone I ever owned, may it rest bricked in peace) to the iPhone is being able to open the camera without waking the phone first. Double tapping the power button to open the camera was great. On iPhone I have to wake the screen and then get to the camera, which is fast but not NEARLY as fast, so I sometimes miss shots I would’ve gotten with an Android phone. This should also fix that (as did the Action button in the iPhone 15, I think, but I don’t have that).
Yeah, as in it's time for more backdoors for the glowies.
Apple's propaganda clowns either too stupid or knows that their real customer are the spooks lol
So why even pretend anymore?
Do you remember that circle jerk with some masshooters phone. Best PR apple ever got and I doubt it was libre 🐸
