Swiping away (to the right) from the Home Screen, will take you to the widget area from which you can immediately remove the news widget with two or so taps, and that setting will get preserved. So not really the same as pressing start to s

I would assume that if you buy an iPhone you are (at least nowadays) aware that you are not going to be side loading applications or getting a device with third party bloatware installed that you can’t remove without a level of technical sk

I see that you feel strongly about RCS, but as far as I know even some of the bigger US carriers dont support the universal profile on all the Android devices they offer. So maybe you’ll get your wish some point after carriers align on RCS.

With all of the emphasis they put on the iPhone cameras i think they have considered this and decided against it, at least for now.

Personally I wish that usbc cables were more like lightning cables in terms of form factor (both sides being lightning would have been neat). They fit snugly and it is easier to clean the ports that receive them imo... Anyway thats all in s

I cant speak to the build quality of Thunderbolt cables made by manufacturers other than belkin or the one Apple sells - both of which have been great. The belkin cable feels a slightly more rigid. As far as Thunderbolt branded cables you c

I think that people are just assuming the worst case for wireless and best case for wired (in terms of longevity). AFAIK most wired headphones don’t have a replaceable cable, and the ones that do tend to be pricier. Personally I’ve had the

Not really the case anymore. If you set up Apple Game Porting Toolkit, or download one of the several GUIs for it.
