How’s that personal data collecting going?
Gal Gadot blocking Marques Brownlee because she tweeted about how she loved her Huawei phone, from an iPhone.

Apple got too greedy. Marked the shit up on all of their products and soon realized the majority of Americans are broke as shit.

lol, thousand dollar phones...
Yet, there are people who are living paycheck to paycheck who are contemplating where to pay the rent or pay for a new thousand dollar phone.

Apple has just gotten too expensive for the features provided. I am an IPhone user for the past 9 years - having switched from a Blackberry. But I miss my blackberry now, lol.
As far as collecting personal information- ANYTHING you send on a mobile phone is able to be collected- starting with our own NSA.

You hit the nail on the head. Apples being massacred in China and India. They went into the developing world with the same approach they used in America and it backfired on them.
Just like the PC Industry in the mid to late 80's the smart phone industry's commoditizing. IBM used to the king in PC's, now they're completely out.

Apple is pricing them self out. I wouldn't doubt if some of the Apple phones made in China are being sold by either the Chinese government or the factory for their profit cutting Apple out of the loop. Anyone ever notice their Apple phone or ipod starts having trouble around the time the new product comes out? Didn't they get caught slowing service to people with older phones?
-
Never had an Apple phone, Ipod, Ipad or any other shit.
I specifically make sure I don't give them money.

I still have iphone 4 unfortunatley i cant download tinder, i have a shitty cell phone charger with 2 rolls of electrical tape holding that flimsy thing together
-
Just read this ... The parts for the base model of the iPhone X with 64 gigabytes of storage cost $370.25, according to an analysis by research firm IHS Markit, Bloomberg reports. That figure does not include manufacturing and software.
-
I know zilch abut the computer business but if I was Mr. Apple, I'd listen to whatyou are saying here and make an inexpensive cell phone for rhe masses such as Hitler did prior to WWII with the VW.
Or am I thinking entirely stupididly?
A friend of mine inherited his mother's house, sold it, and put that money ($200,000) in Apple stock about 10 years ago .... and no one has seen him since.
Too damn stupid if he got super-rich or simply super-broke.
What would his stock be worth today if he purchased $200,000 worth of Apple Stock ten years ago ... (November 2008.)
Any help is apprciated as he still owes me for a bet we made regarding Titus' guilty or innocent jury decision?

I think the best deal for a high-end phone without the high-end price is the One Plus 6T. I've been very, very happy with my Pixel 2 but the One Plus 6T is cheaper and really loaded. Best value on the market. I just try to avoid Chinese products in general and kind of locked into the Google ecosystem though I do very much Google over Apple.
-
apple still make the best quality phones
-
Everything you can do on last years iphone you could pretty much do on this years iphone.
People have started to wise up and are not upgrading as often or are going with cheaper options.
The only interesting innovation on the horizon is is folding screens and it looks like Samsung has the jump on that.
-

It's the price, the Apple tax, that kills them. They are no longer the best value on the market. It's become more about status and being locked in to the Apple ecosystem. Android has taken over and will continue to outpace IOS. Even the Chromebooks, now that they've integrated the Android apps, are getting a larger and larger share of the market from Apple and Windows. I've been using Chromebooks exclusively now for the last two years and like much better than Macs or Windows. Less expensive and you get more for your money. Also, no viruses and always lightning fast boot up no matter how old your device is. Hoping to land a Pixel Slate tomorrow.

I don't get it. A lot of people have more than one phone, especially if you are rich and famous.
Also, Hollywood folks often have assistants posting shit for them. Where is the scandal?

Well, if you have your own business or just want to keep business and personal life separate, two phones make sense. A friend of mine who runs his own business doesn't always answer calls to his business/casual friend phone but will always give priority to his "family/friends" phone. He only gives out that number to people that are a top priority in his life.

Word. I have two phones. I like to keep shit separate.

Let me translate that. He keeps one phone for his wife and another for his other activities.
Shit happens when the wife finds out one way or other.

I also just recently read an article as to why Apple is so expensive beyond it being a premium product. Back around 2015 they gambled that the price for Apple products was somewhat inelastic. That people were going to stick with Apple products even with a reasonable increase in price. So even though their manufacturing cost remained constant they just arbitrarily raised the prices across the board to increase profit margin and it worked. Sales did not go down and still increased.
And now that they hit the $1,000 barrier it's only going to get worse. This has not given an incentive for competitors to offer comparable products for less increasing market share but rather they are padding their profits as well. The cell phone has become such an integral part of people lives now that it's a necessity and part of a person's self-image that they will pay as much as they can to get the best phone they can.
In my case, the cost of the original Pixel Phone and moving up to the Pixel 2 remained the same. Now if I wanted to move up from the Pixel 2 to the Pixel 3 is now about $150 more with very little change. Everything is pretty much the same (you get an addition "2" ppi with the Pixel 3 -- lol). The Pixel 3 will get you the Snapdragon 845 instead of the 835 but nobody will notice the difference. Same camera, same software (Android 9), same RAM, same storage, same updates. You also get wireless charging with the Pixel 3 which is not an issue with me.
Not worth going from $650 to $800 for the base model. I'm sure that this time next year the Pixel 4 will hit $1,000 mark for the base model. Probably then is when I will defect over to the Chinese brands.

The Snapdragon 845 will have a twenty percent better performance than the 835 and thirty percent better efficiency. It's not a good idea to skimp on the chip. It drives the performance of your phone and it is noticeable.
Qualcomm is getting ready to announce the Snapdragon 855 in December which is based on The ARM Cortex A76. The A76 and A56 are clean sheet designs from ARM's Austin Texas design center.

Only men of low value in the sexual marketplace have to worry about shit like getting caught cheating.
High value men can do what they want and their wives and girlfriends will look the other way. I don't bother sneaking around like 007.

Real world performance is nil. The 835 Snapdragon is hardly skimping. The Pixel 2 was rated one of the best phones, some consider it the best, in 2018 and it is plenty snappy for me. And the camera is the best in the market today. I'm not going to spend an additional $800 for the Pixel 3 when it will do nothing to increase my cell phone experience. I'm saving that for the Pixel Slate tomorrow which will be a big step up from the Chromebook I am using now.
I like to keep a phone a bit longer than a year.

If he still has it today right around 2.5 mill I think. If he invested right he could be getting around 14%.

It's not cheating if you tell the women up front what you are about.

All rip-offs, my work buys me a new one every 2 years, or I'd still have an older model if I had to buy them myself.
Samsung S9 (I think I have) just got it, it was around 1K for the stupid thing.

The scandal is that Gal Gadot blocked him because he pointed out that she said that she like. Her Huawei phone, and it was posted from an IPhone. Also, look at the Joe Rogan interview. Marques also pointed out that many of these celebs are paid by Huawei to endorse or say that they like the phone, when they don’t have the phone, and let’s not mention how Huawei uses the phones to collect data (for the Chinese government?).

Unemployment its lowest since 2003. Just because you can't live within your means, doesn't mean other can't.
Plus people get these on installment plans.

This. Quality and privacy cost money. Google is an ad company, and people are the product and the cum dumpsters they are using and abusing.

Yes there are always going to be dumb people out there. But a lot of poor people using their phones as their only form of internet. Which is needed nowadays to pay bills, and job hunt.
Apple and Samsung make budget phones. Most phone don't need flagship devices. Samsung note is $1250, without an SD card. Flagships are going to cost.

Yup, blackberry, and samsung paid people to do these too. Alicia keys, leborn James, etc got caught too.

I've heard of this. Has it been verified and proven? I wouldn't be surprised as that's what the Chinese do. If true it should be all over the news. American companies would love for that to get out.

I'm no fan of that Chinese company and I don't trust a Chinaman as far as I can throw him.
That said, I'm not seeing the problem. Like I said before, it's entirely possible that she has more than one phone or she has an assistant that posts her tweets for her.
For me this is a non story. People shouldn't be taking tech advice from Hollywood actresses anyway. Anyone with half a brain should know that.

DISGUST, I assume he made a good investment then (providing he still has it).
Would there have been a more profitable one?

If it was a non issue, then she wouldn’t have blocked the dude, now would she? She was caught out.

Not a cell phone expert here but I have a $39 phone with CRICKET service at $42 a month. Am I getting ripped off?
I once used VERISON but decided that it was a crooked company over-charging its customers when they charged me $120 for the first month's service after I had signed up fot a $60/month program.
Why would anyone join Verizon when you can get similar service at half the price?
BTW .. This $39 cell phone and my Cricket $42/month plan have never failed me yet and last month they gave me a newer phone free.
Thanks, Cricket!

ZTE is included as well.
To combat fears of Chinese spying through devices from Huawei and ZTE, another Chinese phone maker, Rep. Mike Conaway (R-TX) introduced a bill called the Defending US Government Communications Act.

I don't have cable, nor do I watch television and I am not on social media.
I couldn't tell you what the average celebrity wears or owns.
