Who do you think you are dispelling memes and disenfranchising the chuds who need something to complain about. I mean really? Why do you have to bring actual use and reality into it? Seriously though. This is absolutely correct. I get that

Not moving goal posts at all mate. My original comment, in reply to someone saying "a lot of people already get more than 1G from their ISP" and implying that it's therefore worthwhile to have 2.5GEth on all local devices end

So I had to use a calculator to help me here, and I used https://toolstud.io/video/bitrate.php , but apparently the raw bitrate for 4K@25fps/24bit is 4.98Gbps, which then obviously gets compressed by various codecs

Please, I implore you, to read the line you quoted again, and then perhaps pull out the old Oxford English, and look up what "very few" means. I'll be generous and give you a hint: it doesn't mean none . But your exampl

Dual-sim phones aren't just a niche in the US either. But regardless: using your existing 5 year old iPhone with an eSIM that isn't "cheap" is still going to be cheaper than buying a new dual-sim phone.

I'm curious if this means Apple will run their own RCS service for their customers or will rely on a telco provided one. I tried to find info for example about RCS in Australia, and saw a piece about Telstra launching RCS in 2017... bu
