    Apple’s Inconsistencies..

    I have highly appreciated Apple’s design consistency across its devices. However, it doesn’t seem to be the case in recent years. Apple removed 3.5mm headphone jacks on iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad mini, but not on the cheapest iPad and MacBooks. Apple managed to put a seemingly bezel-less...

    Notch on a Pro Laptop - A Modern Day Disaster

    This is ridiculous, what on Earth were they thinking? I have a Macbook Pro and I definitely won’t be ‘upgrading’ to this awful looking thing. There is no need for any fancy cameras or even face id on a pro macbook. Regardless if the notch area goes black in fullscreen mode, it will still cause...

    Notch on the M1X MacBook Pro? [MERGED]

    Hi guys, I'm so excited for the M1X Pros and I can't wait to order my 14", but I couldn't wrap my head around the resolution of the new displays: Current displays have a perfect 16:10 resolution: MB Air / MB Pro 13": 2560x1600 -> 2560/1600=1,6 MB Pro 16": 3072x1920 -> 3072/1600=1,6 But the...

    Other What will be the USP of the iPhone 14 Pro?

    The iPhone 13 is barely a week old and the rumor mill is already in overdrive about its successor. With the upgrades in cameras & processor becoming something of a diminishing return, it was the "ProMotion" on the 13 Pro models that set them apart from the vanilla model this year. If Apple...

    iPhone 13 Pro Max Larger notch for iPhone 13 Pro Max possible?

    I hope this has not been already discussed. My cousin got her iPhone 13 Pro Max yesterday. After 2h of continuous usage she started noticing some significant eye-strain which then escalated to a full-blown headache. Our first (obvious) suspect was, of course, the new pro-motion display or some...

    iPhone 8/Plus Anyone on iPhone 8+ or below waiting on the 14 ?

    Hello So I was about to get the 13 pro max but I saw the 14 when I got my 8+ back in 2017 and the 10 came out it already felt outdated. With leaks showing a hole punch or no notch. By getting the 13 it would feel outdated right away. The same bluetooth 5.0 is the same in my 8 Plus LOL. So I am...

    Other iPhone 12 v 13 comparison value speculation

    As an XS Max owner I think I'm in the market for a new phone this year. My phone prior to the XSM was the 6S+. That is now used by the wife and it's still working fine, but she really wants a better camera and bigger storage. Last year I was all set to upgrade to the 12 pro max until I saw it...

    Other When do you think we will get a notchless iPhone?

    Hello, I have been thinking about moving to iPhones for quiet a while now, but I really hate that ugly notch design. Could you guys please tell me your thoughts about when will Apple drop the notched design? Note: Please don't try to convince me about notch being not important. That's not the...

    iPhone 12 The Real Reason Apple Chose to Not Shrink the Notch

    Full disclosure: While I can’t completely confirm the report I have, my source is close to Apple and has been correct in the past. One of the biggest questions with the launch of the iPhone 12 series of phones was why Apple didn’t shrink the notch. Apple could have easily done it according to...

    iPhone 12 iPhone 12 First Impressions!

    Well I finally upgraded from my 8. Walked out of the Verizon store last night with a brand new iPhone 12 (Pacific Blue, 128gb). Thought I would share my first impressions with all of you. Let's start with the positive: -I like the bigger screen. -The quality of the screen is a big step up from...

    iPhone XR I never notice the notch

    Ever since the X was released, people have been criticising the notch. Honestly, I just notice it. Maybe it’s because I have a black XR but the notch and ears for me register as part of the informational part of the screen so it just doesn’t bother me. I’m interested to know why exactly many...

    iPhone X Is the notch a symptom of Apple's overall design decline?

    As a card-carrying "Never Notch" but with my iPhone overdue for an upgrade I was becoming resigned to having to resort to the notch at some point. Now comes news Apple may ditch the notch as soon as next year. This comes not long after Jony Ive's departure was announced. So I'm wondering, is...

    iPhone XS Max Bring back the bezels!

    Been testing out an XS Max here for a couple of weeks. While the thing has nice points, the lack of bezels is actually annoying. I agree with this reviewer wholeheartedly. There's actually some stress involved with trying to hold the stupid phone just right in order not to accidentally trigger...

    iPhone XS Max The notch :(

    What's your vote? As for me, I can't get used to it. My eye is drawn to that ugly, blank cutout at the top of the iPhone screen. It's a design disaster. I can't help thinking that once they figure out how to do away with the notch, owners of all of these notched phones won't be able to dump...

    notch adjustments to web app

    I'm attempting to make my web app work better on notch phones, and have been attempting to follow the advice everywhere and use the css env values, like the following one padding-left: env(safe-area-inset-left); along with viewport-fit=cover in the viewport meta. Unfortunately, I don't have an...
