Then as usual I have no idea what your point was through all this. I suspect you don't even know yourself. It seems you are soon keen to pounce on anyone who seems to be anti apple that you don't even consider what point it is your making.

About as much chance as you making a worth while post I suspect. Although I'm curious how a thread to which no one had posted to for 5 days until I did has been derailed, oh wait I forget who's asking

Your Apple trolling is really quite annoying when trying to read a thread. |

A thread that would still be dead with nothing to read now if I had not posted, bizarre logic. What you boringly call trolling, I call informed opinion.
As is all to common in any apple thread on the net when the pro apple view is not followed the bully boys shout down dissenting voices. A proper mac forum would be a better place for your bullying, browbeating approach where no form of discussion is tolerated. I rarely see you post anything other than reinforcing your own personal bias against anyone who differs. |

Sad that the mods are so ineffective around here that nothing is done about such blatant trolling that happens time and time again.

It's no wonder many of the more prolific and useful posters have left or cut back on posting with the incessent dross from the likes of you in this sub-forum. |

Maybe just don't feed the troll. It gives them energy. Just never reply again?

What about a feature like in the Apple display booth in London a couple of years back where you aimed your iPhone at plain walls and due to embedded tech in the walls, your phone showed you something different. What if they set up similar in towns, tourist attractions and even in other peoples phones - you could look at your screen and see something like historic views and interactive material - and you could interact with people around you.

I don't understand people's fascination with a memory card slot. Why on earth would you want one? It's obviously just me...I just can't see why people are so desperate for one. I've got over 14,000 pictures on my iPhone. Never once have thought about a memory card.

The problem with the iPhone is that when you run out of internal memory the phone ceases to function. Most of the time that's due to photos which Apple make incredibly difficult to delete unless you've previously put them in iCloud Photo Library, which people who've had iPhones for a while won't have enabled.
Android, you just put them on Dropbox or Google Drive. |

It also means you don't need to buy the biggest capacity version on sale to cope with changing needs later (and you also save money in the process, considering how much you pay Google, Apple, Samsung etc for that extra storage). Samsung announced a 256GB card yesterday for phones. I've got a 200GB one now and upgraded from 128 and 64 before. I can easily upgrade and then carry the card over to a new/second device. On your way of thinking, why does anyone ever think to upgrade a HDD or add RAM to a computer? Of course, now it seems modern machines have soldered in RAM and SSD memory so perhaps that freedom is being removed too. Apple wants you to buy a higher capacity phone and give a nice bump in profit. It also wants you to upgrade the whole device, not part of it, if you one day decide you want or need more. |

When you say "interact with people around you", do you mean speak to them?

If you shoot any HD video it can quickly eat up internal memory.

People should just buy the memory they need. My iPhone has 128GB of internal storage. I'd rather have 128GB of internal storage than 16GB and a 128GB micro SD card.
![]() Memory cards are much cheaper than the over inflated prices phone manufacturers charge for more internal memory. Also why would you rather have 128GB of memory over the 144GB in your scenario Very strange.

And when you upgrade, why are you paying again for more storage instead of removing the memory card you've already invested in? I accept people do have to buy the storage they need, as they have no choice for more than just Apple devices, but it's surprising that anyone would defend it to this degree. |

Cook could have been speculating about future LMOD displays (Mirasol).
Apple took over a Qualcomm development lab used for these displays, leaving speculation that Apple are developing up from the Qualcomm Toq watch. So, an improved watch or even other accessories could be Cook's incentive to buy a new iPhone. Other speculation says Apple is buying up various struggling technologies. So obviously even stuff that normally costs too much to make might well make good profit in Apple quantities and sale prce. |

I liked Qualcomm's tech for smartwatches, but can't see it being used for an Apple watch unless it has improved a lot from the prototypes.. like vastly improved contrast, screen refresh time and resolution.
I much prefer my Pebble over an Android Wear (or Apple Watch) because of the always-on aspect (and 10 day battery life) but you couldn't replace the current watch with something like that, even if in many ways the pros outweigh the cons... it would give rivals to Apple a field day. |

I could give you an answer, firstly Android can be a right PITA with allowing things to run properly from memory cards, and while I have had a number of (reputable brand) memory cards go corrupt or cease working I have never had it happen to built in phone memory.
But to be honest, i have never found it a PITA with Android to run apps from it. Move it over, done. Also, it's not just about the apps. It's about storage for HD videos, 4K videos etc... |

Cant say I've ever had a decent brand go corrupt. Not to say it cant happen however.

Many apps won't move though, including all the Google apps I've tried to. Not to mention, certain versions of Android don't allow any apps to move...
