Only if it's just Apppe that's using them, then they certainly are, otherwise, if Samsung and/or other Android manufacturers use them, then they definitely are. /s

Galaxy s8 production might be 'aborted'

Lawsuits prove that there is a problem Apple doesn't give a **** about.iFixit was the company who made Touch Disease public.I commend them for it .I doubt Apple will initiate a recall Considering the amount of time this issue has persisted for
No for both.It requires a fraction of the smartphone price to get the battery replaced.
Actually had to check what thread this is: iPhone 6 issues or galaxy s8 might be aborted.
Thats a shame.
Ah well, I'll keep going with my Note 4, yet to be anything from the competition that compares to it
Samsung make far too many $billions for me to worry about them.
That Huawei Mate 9 looking real good!

This would truly be going above and beyond if Sammy does this.

Bro don't you know how things work here yet? Every thread is a touch disease thread. That's the only ammo they have against iPhones nowadays and boy do they use it often
Interesting. They need to do something to regain trust and the customers they lost. I'm not sure their rich feature set is enough anymore, for some people they lost to IPhone and Pixel, anyway.
Unfortunately we don't get to take advantage of it if I understand AT&T correctly. AT&T was pretty firm with my husband and me that we are "stuck" with our S7 Edges for a whole year...actually since it was a BOGO deal with special requirements for the second Edge, a little over TWO years for one of the Edges. That was the condition of restoring the BOGO terms under which we bought the Note7s, so that we would not have to pay again for two S7 Edge final replacements since the BOGO deal expired during the recall mess. Sigh.
If it sounds confusing, trust me, it was. And AT&T is not a bad guy in this. Everything worked out more fair than I may make it sound.
Whatever. We have the original lines our IPhones are on that are well past upgrade time. We can do as we please and be pleased when we do with those lines. I'm buying the Pixel independently of the carrier and just putting my iPhone SE sim in it.
You should check that because you were the one who initiated the touch disease discussion with macfacts
Error53,hissgate,planned obsolescence lawsuits,laggy animations.Dont worry we do have a lot of ammo against Apple.Its just this one is used because,you know,it bricks the phone
Well to put it more specifically, in case it wasn't obvious, the Note 7 *would have* been the best phone of 2016 if it didn't explode. I know it's a lot of nuance to grasp, but it can be done. Disclaimer: Just my personal opinion, the best phone is what that consumer likes and spends their money on.
I understand the nuance smart ass
(tongue planted firmly in cheek there, to be clear ), just saying that in order for it to exist and not explode, I think it would have to have a different design (not quite so compact, smaller battery capacity, who knows--just my own theory that they tried to cram too much in that form factor) and maybe then, it's not quite the smartphone champ. My guess is it would still be at or near the top of the heap but you never know.
A phone has ****** battery, a phone still use 720P LCD screen with 4.7 inch and 1K screen with 5.5 inch, a phone that bricks when software updates, a phone that also exploded, the phone has ****** screen body ratio, a phone has ****** price performance... This is iPhone. The most overpriced phone on the earth.
Think the note 7 without a doubt has the best features of any phone. Which were very clever. Like folder mode and what you could do with the S pen. Just the software, lack of updates and the odd lag has always been there on samsung devices. Personally the iphone is the best phone around for my needs now. Performance, reliability and how it works with everything. Updates is big as well how all devices are supported. Everybody is different with different needs. The whole issue with note 7 has been a disaster as it was an amazing device. Just hard for me to trust them anytime soon now after this. Which is hard as I have had the note 3, 4, S4, S6, S7 edge.
He made a side comment on Touch Disease.And you only replied to the part about Touch Disease so the one who tried to drag this thread off topic is you
After years of this, it's getting harder and harder to read text without spacing after punctuation. For all the complaining about barely noticeable dropped frames in a few obscure places, how does something like that just not pop off the screen each time?
Blame Apple's keyboard.That public beta keyboard fixed it.But on my 7 Plus I am not on public beta
What does Apple's keyboard do--deletes spacing somehow? Don't think others have run into that.
That's the entire point. A side comment was introduced into the conversation and the off-topic talk is now being continued (and reinforced).
It's the keyboard's fault. I am using the Gboard keyboard typing this and the spacings automatically appear.
On a side note I love the stealth look it gives for my black iPhone 7
You are saying that because some keyboards might potentially have some options to put a space after punctuation it's the fault of a keyboard for not putting a space in automatically?It's the keyboard's fault. I am using the Gboard keyboard typing this and the spacings automatically appear.
On a side note I love the stealth look it gives for my black iPhone 7
Some optional features might be nice somewhere, but if you are just doing regular typing with a regular keyboard seems like it's up to the user to use the space bar appropriately that's part of normal typing.
Alternatively it seems like there are options to use keyboards that support that kind of thing if that is the desired typing style.
I just tested this out using Gboard and it doesn't automatically add spacing after punctuation, at least not when typing regularly. If you use glide/swipe that might be the case, or perhaps if predictive words are used, but that's certainly something different and wouldn't (and doesn't seem to) apply to regular typing. Same seems to apply to SwiftKey.
