I’ve repaired and tinkered with many phones and computers, I thought I’d be able to change the battery in my third gen iPod nano… But I completely messed it up because of the soldering. It ain’t easy :(

Yeah, but i haven’t heard of people getting a reply from them in years

I remember a while back, you could send emails to some high ups at Apple like Craig Federighi or Phill Schiller, and if you got lucky you’d get an actual reply from them. Even Steve Jobs back in the day.

It wasn’t much, but this kind of thing made megacorps feel a lot more « human » than they do today

As far as I know recent iPhones all have parts pairing, so you can’t swap parts between phones unless Apple authorises it. Absolutely sucks ass for repairability, but it’s supposed to help in the context of stolen phones.

I guess thieves found a way to circumvent it, otherwise it wouldn’t make sense

Somehow they managed to make it heavier, 206g for the 17 Pro vs 199g for the 16 Pro. They’ve been hovering at around 200g for a while though, so as ugly as that phone is, it probably isn’t noticeably heavier than like a 13 Pro

That « optical quality telephoto » garbage makes my blood boil

Yeah it’s been this way for a while, even my 13 mini has one

For every person who likes small phones, there’s a thousand people who’d rather buy a 7" behemoth. I’ll be using my 13 mini for as many years as I can, but we’ve lost the battle :(

At least the Air is probably more comfortable to use than the others

Shorts (as a format) aren’t the problem, it’s what you watch. If you train the algorithm to serve you garbage, then of course it’s gonna serve you garbage ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Oof, that sucks if that’s the case

I tried to switch to Signal but it feels so damn barren compared to Telegram :(

I want to love it but they make it hard

In ten years all phones will be crabs
