Seriously - the Apple Pencil - WTF

All the fanbois scoffed at Samsung when they included the S-Pen with some of their Note tablets and the phone, now they've come up with a glorified stylus for the iPad and have the cheek to charge you $99 extra for it

Samsung have also had a large format tablet AKA the NotePro available for quite some time.

Rapidly loosing their way unfortunately, no innovation any more

New glass and 3d touch, same battery life yet much more powerful, increased ram even though it trounced Android phones with less, crap design and dumb system? If you believe that there's no hope.

And available in Pink.

u watch tablet sales fall in favour of that Ipad Pro, i know 100s of people who have Surfaces and Notes and Helixs because the Ipad doesn't support a proper pen and has a pigs tit.

This is a game changer for my corporate clients.

Why is the new iP6s still being offered with only 16Gb of internal storage on the base model?

Seriously? In 2015?

Do you know what you can do with a smaller battery? Let me tell you, other stuff. Now if you already have a great battery life - no complaints from me - do you want more battery life or other stuff? I want other stuff, maybe you don't.

I have a note 4 and from taking off charge at 6.30am my battery is on 10% at 10pm. No phone does good battery use no matter how many people sell it

If I abused the internet early morning I don't think my phone would last past 2pm.

They are phones and get what they get, I have never saw one person pick a high end phone and worry that it won't last a day without charging! If you use a phone it needs charging!
