Don't get me wrong TP - that's Toffee Pie not Toilet Paper - there are some Android devices with great screens, I've said that since I saw one, but trying to claim that my iPhone is a bit rubbish because I can't watch Moon Raiders in 4k on a 6" screen is kid stuff.

Anyhow I'm off to watch the Olympics - Sponsored by Samsung.
Nothing like a worked up Fanboy, Apple IPhones are over rated. 80% of the people cant be wrong.

The only people who think IPhones are superior are people like you. In 2017 Apple might have wireless charging or have devices that can last 3+ days on a single charge. They also might have 21st century displays.

You are obsessed with the latest firmware, should you not be concerned how far behind the times Apple are or how crap Siri is?

Have 2015 CT200 Fsport,Was trying tonight to get Siri Eyes Free working, watched clips on youtube and it say's hold the phone receive call button for three seconds and Siri should come on the screen, when i hold down button the phone pad comes on the display, no Siri

Does this only work in models in the States, using Iphone 6s

You are deluded and should hop onto a plane and head to the Apple HQ, They need you more than ever.

For Apple's fiscal 2016 Q3, ended June 25:

Revenues of $42.4bn marked a 15 per cent decline from the $49.6bn reported a year ago.

Net income of $7.8bn was down 27 per cent from $10.7bn in Q3 2015.
Shipments of new iPhones hit 40.4 million units, down 15 per cent. iPhone revenues of $24b were down 23 per cent on the year. This despite CEO Tim Cook declaring the iPhone SE a "very successful" launch where demand outpaced supply.

Mac revenues of $5.24bn were down 13 per cent, and shipments were down 11 per cent at 4.25 million units.

The iPad continued its downward slide in shipments with 9.95 million units, a 9 per cent drop in revenue. However, sales of higher-cost tablets led to revenues of $4.88bn, a 7 per cent gain on last year.

The "other products" category reported revenues of $2.2bn, down 16 per cent on the year. This category includes the Apple Watch and AppleTV.
Services revenue of $5.97bn was a 19 per cent gain on last year's quarter.
China revenues fell 33 per cent – a particularly poor region for Apple last quarter.

In the Americas revenue was down 11 per cent, while revenue in Europe fell 7 per cent.

That can happen when using 'eBay special, Far East tat phone chargers'. Rather than the phone itself. I didn't read all the article: has it been proved that it is the actual phone*? I assume it is (because of the immediate recall)?


* BTW, I'm no Samsung/Android 'apologist'. (Indeed, I replaced my Ace for a 5 Plus).

Samsung have ordered everyone who owns a note 7 to return them mate. Apparently it was in his car and the handset exploded. whether or not it's a charge/handset issue it shouldn't happen know matter what. No mention of an off the market charger though

Sure sure. You're totally correct. It just shouldn't happen.

At least Samsung have acted immediately.

Old news. Samsung have stalled sales and told people to return Note 7s as the battery is defective. Not sure how hard it is for people to comply with some simply instructions.

Besides dont think the people at Samsung are too worried about this and the Note 7 will continue to sell after its relaunced.

You would have to try really hard to lose money on Apple shares so far this year. I should have bought at 95.

Top 15 photos on Flickr voted by the public, iPhone.

Great timing though, here are some shots released yesterday, all taken on the iPhone.

Here's some more reading about the "90's grainy photos"

The distinct business advantage that Apple has achieved thanks to its hardware is the sheer volume of iPhone sales, which justifies the big spending on the specialized chips that make that hardware so powerful. The new image processor is a perfect example. It can spread the cost of that investment in chips over hundreds of millions of iPhones.

There is nothing particuarly special on the iPhone 7 camera, Jack.

If you opened your eyes a small, bit. Still custard stuck on your face?

The high end camera on modern Android phones are just as good if not better than what in on an iPhone. That fancy image processing mode Apple harp on about has been done before, I even took a few photos with my old phone on that mode.

BTW, did Apple release a software update yet for the camera? updates, very important you know.

and waterproof, lol.

You showed us two terrible photos of a beer bottle. You're going to have to do better than that.

Yes, today is update day, every phone since the iPhone 5 is supported, that's a lot of phones that will be getting an update packed with new features. Must sting a bit when you can't get the latest android update on a brand new phone.

did you not mention bs about launching stuff with old software Jack? (more pie?)

I can rest assure that the Note 5 does take sublime photos, better open your eyes a bit

go take all that custard off your face and report back.

Now you are under some illusion that the iPhone has the best camera in the world, Apple doing a good job decaying your brain cells I see
