Apple iPhone and related items (cont.)

Yeah, exactly. Not a big thing but they did mention it at the event when talking about the Pro, so they've obviously considered it.
More pertinent for most people is still the power charging limitations.

I mean I don't use Apple, but 20W is still not a slow charge. I think my Pixel does 21W and it's really quick on my laptop charger.
 
Imagine charging your phone in under 10 mins!

Well I guess they can't flog us more megapixels any more.
 
But the faster the charging, the better, right?

Nice, but it gets to a point it doesn't really matter.

I've never thought that I wish my Pixel charged faster. The battery lasts a good amount of time, so it's easy to plug it in. I wouldn't want to go back to usig a 0.5a charger either though.

I'd also want to do more reading on what it does to battery health to fast charge so often, but if there is no impact the why not?
 
Database of posts, conversations, likes etc is about 16GB, attachments etc another 88GB, image cache (for external images) about 13GB

The database backup is about 5.5GB, compressed

That's a lot smaller then I expected! I'm guessing bandwidth and various pet threads are a fair bit of that?
 
The whole lot can fit on my camera's microSD card.

I remember enquiring about a 8MB flash card in a computer shop and being warned by the proprietor that it would be very expensive.

Pretty much. In 20 years of owning a smartphone I’ve never once had a charging emergency which mean needing fast charging.z

Oh I've had a few, but my life is more routine now.

Thing is 20w is fast charging compared to what we had. No doubt when I get 40w it will be very cool and I look forward to it, but it's marginal gaines.

The times I can think I'd need it the most, I'll probably be using a power bank that won't deliver it. I'd be more excited for longer battery life, but in a quest for thin and light, that ship sailed.

Of the billions of iPhone users i doubt many have needed emergency charging tbh. It really is a non issue that tech nerds bang on about.
 
There was a pre-pre-order process to go through to ensure that you could pre-order efficiently at 1pm today when pre-orders opened.

The Apple Store is now down.
Ordered a 15 Pro (work paid) and decided to pick up from the store rather than get it delivered as it’s near work and I’m rarely wfh these days.

Got a 15 min slot to pick up. “For best service, please arrive during your reserved time or you may experience a delay picking up your order.” Fair enough, arrived on time…

… to find this

Fuck. That.

did you go to the door and say you were there. It was like that when I picked up my 14 and I told them and they let me straight in

Yes tried that. You had to queue even if you had a slot and had paid.
 
Sadly Apple want queues as it's been part of their publicity machine forever.

During Covid if you went to the hospital early for an appointment they asked to see you appointment then politely told you to fuck off and come back for your slot.

Same with the passport office now.

Apple are obviously not doing this.
