- thunfischbrot 5mo agoIn my bubble, some. In the general population? Very very few.
- hamdingers 5mo agoAll the top smartphone manufacturers hit that bar, at least for their mid and high end phones. The focus on apple is misleading and weird. This will only impact bottom barrel phones.

- hightrix 5mo agoThat was 10 years ago. Are there any other instances similar that are more recent?
