The above is true for the Face ID-era phones. None of the Touch ID-era phones, including the latest iPhone SE (2nd generation) have ever had an OLED screen. | ||

From 11 series onwards they went one step further and brought Super Retina XDR OLED displays for the pro and pro max variants. That's why they are saying/highlighting that the entire 12 series including 12 mini has Super Retina XDR OLED displays. Last edited by Vasuki : 21st October 2020 at 22:55. | |

My mistake, I did not do my research. However, I have compared Apple's Retina LCD and an OLED screen side by side, even tho the retina is better than most of the other LCDs, its no match for the OLED screen. For the price that I pay for the iPhone, I can easily get a better android device with much better configuration. I know apple users say that its the performance at even lower configurations is much better, I agree. But, at a lower cost if I am getting a phone which gives me same performance even if its using much higher hardware configuration, then why shouldn't one go for it. Of course, until one wants it only for snob value. | ||

| ![]() A lot of things relating to display or performance is a sham. I downgraded from an X to 20-SE and could not be more happier. Smaller size, Touch ID instead of Face (masks) and the overall ease of carrying/ using the phone. I can't even think about moving to the bigger phone in near future. Maybe Apple also does realize the potential of such customers and have launched the mini for this reason. Mag-safe is something that excite me specifically from the Car travel purpose. I don't like Car-play and instead keep my phone for navigation and such new devises will be very useful. https://www.theverge.com/circuitbrea...12-accessories There will be millions of discussions on this with no concrete answer but telling others to buy an Apple only due to snob value is not correct. Let me give you my own example. I have Two numbers and for almost over a decade, I always have an Iphone and one of the latest Android. Usually, the new launches of Samsung from S series. In all these years, I have tried to switch over from my Iphone which is my primary phone to Android which is more for social use but could not succeed. For some reasons, Android does not work for my daily work. At the same time, most of my colleagues feel at home with Android. So, it's all down to your personal comfort more than anything else. I don't think, any one bothers to look at others phone these days. Last edited by Turbanator : 22nd October 2020 at 02:53. |

| ![]() Came across this video on a fake/clone Iphone 11 apparently delivered by Amazon's official retailer, Appario retail during the current sale. Can't rule out the foul play by the buyer in this case but one can't be ever careful enough while buying such high value items, even if it is from Apple India themselves. For the ones expecting to receive their devices soon, do shoot the unboxing video just for safety. |

| ![]() Wonder how he knew that it was a clone before even opening the Amazon package since he started ranting and then opened it. Easily a case of jeopardizing Amazon's sale considering people are buying iPhones like crazy. Some pictures of the iPhone SE 2020 which got delivered on Saturday for my mother. Just love the form factor and the snappy performance. Last edited by Pancham : 22nd October 2020 at 09:34. |

I have been an exclusive Apple user since 2014 when I first switched from Android/Microsoft OS. Today I don’t think of any other platform because it’s my personal preference and it suits my needs - not because I need any snobbishness. To cite an example, I find the OLED’s from Samsung or OnePlus loud and oversaturated - the one on my XS is much closer to the tones and colours in nature. My preference is this way, while someone else may prefer the Samsung or OnePlus. Simple, isn’t it? | |

| ![]() I pity the attendant in the shop, when he realises the mistake he has done. Or maybe he has a customer ready to transplant the internals of the phone at a higher price. I could barely manage 12500 for a 128GB iP7, when my expectation was of 14000 ![]() Quote:
1) I am not related to this person. I got his reference through a closed Facebook Group serving our locality. 2) I have changed my wife's iP8 plus battery with no side effects, even after 3 months. Battery health started showing 100% on the phone, along with iMazing also confirming appropriate charge cycles. 3) His main line of business is upgrading Mac's and providing 'implants' to clients on Mac platform. Thus, his facility is located inside the National Storage Building on Tulsipipe road, Mahim. He handles iPhones along with the computing repairs. website: www dot proe dot co dot in Himanshu Arekar: 9 0 0 4 8 2 7 0 8 0 | |

When I come across the term Apple ecosystem, I generally think of the convenience associated with the uniformity of icons across iDevices, their overall usage, data syncing across the Apple software like contacts, notes, etc mainly facilitated through the iCloud. Yes, contacts and notes are easier to carry over to another device operating in the ecosystem but if you are talking about pictures, videos, then you can transfer them over windows iTunes as well. Regards. | |

![]() It is because of buyers like the guy in the video, and the overall lack of trust on both sides, that we do not have policies like no questions asked 14-day returns etc, which are a norm abroad. | ||

Again, someone else may prefer the greater customisation, options and lower price points that Android phones provide or the design language of a Samsung or a OnePlus. It all comes down to personal preference and there is nothing inherently right or wrong about any choice. | |
