I think we've passed the point where there will be a 3rd smartphone operating system. You need $$$ in order to build develop and maintain, serious hardware partnerships in order to get your OS onto phones people actually want to buy, a

I think Spotify's model would need to be slightly different to Netflix, I think they would still need to allow their artists music onto other platforms. The need for them to be a record label is not for exclusivity, it is so they can o

It will likely be a proper dynamic positioning system so will more than likely use two independent reference systems for position, one could be a DGPS system the other could be as basic as a taughtwire....

The landing barge is towed into position by tugs, and once the boosters are landed I presume it is towed back out, so there will be some tug boats nearby.

They have to be the most confusing door system I've ever seen. The very worst has to be the toilet lid blocking the flush button, so you have to touch (or ninja kick) the lid down in order to flush. My hands have never felt clean since

Not sure this is a problem that an app can solve.

I think app store is fair game, if the adds are well done they can actually be useful. Overcast adverts prove this. I think they need to invest heavily in making it very very difficult (impossible?) for copy cat type apps to appear in searc

I think project Titan was trying to build an actual car. Teams designing door handles and wing mirrors etc. I think Apple are now focussed on trying to build the technology that would make a self driving car. I think if they were successful

Generally from people who hadn’t wore them.... I’ve had them fall out of my ears once when I was taking my jumper off with them on. I run with them on. They are a slightly different shape to the earbuds that come with iPhones so worth a try

Super awesome product, definite advantages over traditional headphones or other wireless headphones. The only negative point I have with them is that they are now something that I have to know where they are all the time eg I tap my pockets

Not all OLEDs are made equal... You haven’t used faceid yet are not convinced... Maybe wait until you’ve used it? I am using it right now, and so far there are very few times I’ve missed touchid, and I’ve been reminded of all the times tha

Battery usage is good so far, supposed to last 2hrs longer than the iPhone 7/8. It periodically scans for attention, not battery intensive, and can actually be battery positive as it aggressively dims the screen and then turns it off i

FaceID sensor array is literally as I describe, not a year over year improvement. The Phone feels like it is from the future.
344.
by gehsty 9y ago
It’s not accurate because there is more, the front facing sensor array to make faceid possible is completely new, the OLED display is completely new.

by gehsty 9y ago
You have to point the sensor towards your face and look at the screen. So far feels pretty natural, 70-80% time the phone is unlocked before I think ‘is the phone unlocked’ the rest of the time I forget I need to glance (literally glance wi

I think Apple explicitly position themselves as the combination of hardware and software and want as much vertical integration as possible... the more hardware they control the better they can make software to run on it.

Just smaller and faster with new technology, never before seen delivered at this size, capability or scale. What does Apple have to do to impress people? Do all this then give the phones away for free?

I still fail to see how it is not possible to unlock with your passcode for the two use cases you mention. I think I understand the point you are getting at, design for tricky situations and the normal situations will be easier, but I think

The least used interactions are the most important? Really? I would say the opposite, the interactions that the most users use the most often are the most important.

by gehsty 9y ago
There are edge use cases, I think 99% of the time your interaction will have less friction and more security. For the edge cases generally a pass code will work (under the table / multiple users). I'm not sure what you do with you

by gehsty 9y ago
Why is TouchID superior to FaceID? I just want to understand why you think FaceID is a failure? If FaceID lives up to Apples claims it will have less friction and higher security, so win win, and I'm sure Apple are aware of how popular

I do not agree that google are upfront with the users of their services that they collect their data and use it to target ads at them. How many regular consumers are aware that their android phone tracks their location and stores this data

by gehsty 9y ago
Honest in the sense that they are upfront about how they make the majority of their money - through phone/computer sales, and not through the sale of your personal data to 3rd parties, or targeting adverts at you. Having a greater focu

Is Apple obliged to sell a product that a Ghanaian of moderate income is able to buy? I don't think they are, if you extend that argument to other products categories you end up criticizing BMW / Audi / Mercedes for producing

Bitcoin has a use now, people use to store their wealth away from prying eyes, I think this is why China recently tried to ban it.... Magic leap could be the future, it could be complete vapour ware, though I like to be positive about these

Maybe they would license it to manufacturers - use our core design AND our operating system gratis, as long as you send users to our services? Googles ad revenue is so important that they should do absolutely anything and everything to prot

If you look at what Apple could achieve by cramming ICs together Vs what anyone else could achieve with the same resources, the first iPhone is pretty remarkable. I remember reading articles where folks from Blackberry were reminiscing on t

I think it will match their version of success when they run out of money and are no longer able to support their users. I don't know about the case you mention. I do not think that Apple manage their developer community well, but most
