RE: The official tablet (and other useless electronics) thread! - BLINGMW - 01-29-2018
You should consider a KeyOne. I rarely even charge it all the way, starting with 80% will make it two business days, and that's with an hour or two of navigation use per day, lots of phone calls, some music streaming and various other things (though I don't play games or do much video streaming). Looking at the moment, I charged it 2 days ago and with a 45% charge its showing a day and a half left. First smartphone I've had that reliably makes it two days. Also keys. Glorious keys.

Pretty sure these aren't considered power hungry apps. It's more likely that your screen is killing your battery.

Well yea. They are power hungry in that they use the screen and often times with white backgrounds which doesn't help. But Facebook also pulls a good chunk. It's second behind screen in battery use.

By that definition, everything you use your phone for is power hungry. That's like saying your car radio uses a lot of gas.

It does, actually.

I just took it off the charger so I don't have the usage data right now but pretty sure yesterday was 12% screen and like 8% Facebook

Any iPhone user could have told you that. They made 0 case as to why anyone should spend $1000 on that phone. I have yet to meet anyone that actually has the X.
RE: The official tablet (and other useless electronics) thread! - BLINGMW - 01-29-2018
I don't know anyone with one either, but I've seen quite a few in the wild. Which is more than the ONE other KeyOne user I've seen

I've got a few friends who bought them and seem to like it enough, but the notch is still a dealbreaker for me.
It has been very popular among the DC gays who seemingly need to always have the newest and shiniest gadget. But no Androids, because ew they're gross I can't believe you have green text message bubbles.

Replaced my 5S with an X on launch day, no ragrets. TouchID style phones feel antiquated now.

Didn't they barely make a case to buy the 8 over the 7?

^No. The 8 has a better screen, camera, and processor. Plenty reason to not get the 7.

So when I get my phone out of my pocket normally, it's unlocked because I had my thumb on the sensor, which is pretty much same idea as the regular iPhones. Is there something I'm missing, because the face ID seems like it has to be less convenient.

I can't tell if I am getting too old or Smartphone technology has seen the turnover to incremental vs revolutionary but I have to beleive its the latter since phone sales are on a slump overall.
The wife and I both have the Iphone 7 we upgraded to 2.5 years ago when they did the "bring in your iphone 6 and we will give you $600 credit towards a new phone". AKA free phone if you ignore taxes. I started searching once ours hit 2 years but even the BOGO free deal didn't entice us enough to switch to a newer phone. Both our batteries seem to suffer pretty hard from battery degradation but everywhere we go we aren't far from a wall charger or car charger. Once it hits below 3 hours of life it'll be time.

The market hasn't been disrupted in quite some time. Aside from blatant consumerism, the only real reason I see people upgrade is because their battery went to shit. People like to talk about screens and features and specs, but most of it's vanity. That's true if it's iphone or android. This is pure correlation/speculation, but I think the entire market plateaued when Jobs died.

This is the first time I'm actively thinking about this, but...I don't think I ever had my thumb on the button when I was taking it out of my pocket - it would be on the side, holding the phone tightly (side to side hold I guess as opposed to front(thumb) to back). So there were still two steps: get phone and either touch or swipe.
Hard to describe, but FaceID just feels like one motion and more natural. The little related things - notifications popping open and ringers getting quiet when you look at it, tap to wake (unless 8's do that too) - are nice touches, too. FaceID is cool but I understand preferring the old way. Coolest thing for me (aside all the other things that got added between 5S and X) is the screen. It's excellent and I can't wait to get an OLED TV.
I'm obviously not all about being on the bleeding edge - I upgraded from a 5S and I'm typing this from a 10 year old iMac - but X was a nice change in form factor and functionality. It's not an OMG game changer, but I don't think there's been one of those in a while. In terms of what I do with it, it's basically the same, just more enjoyable and way fucking faster. Hope it lasts another 4 years like my old one did, and sorry for the accidental review.
