Don’t forget the detail that the app just flat out didn’t work on iOS and the governments advice was to open the app, turn off auto screen locking and leave the app running, screen on in your pocket.

Shortly after, Android and iOS released a proper API for doing this which worked in the background but the government did not use it.

I have never had a phone charger fail on me so if we assume that it lasts 3 phones and I buy them every 3 years, that comes out to about $1.66 per year for phone chargers.

It’s not a surprise no consumer cares. The average consumer would pay an extra $100 for their phone to get it in their favourite colour. The cost of chargers doesn’t even register.

The charger probably costs about $1 to the BoM. I wouldn’t expect to see any change.

But this is not the biggest thing which is that the parts of the iPhone do not determine the price. The price is already set and determines what parts go in. If something somewhere else becomes cheaper, that’s more room in the budget to spend elsewhere whether that be better hardware, hiring more software developers, higher skilled retail workers, etc.

In the end it’s up to the user to decide if what’s in the box provides enough value to justify the price. And from the sales data of the last year, that’s an astounding yes.

Tbh some of these even look better in context. I’m not sure why it even matters that every text box is pixel perfect identical rather than suitable for the environment.

Especially when you have a wave of users complaining to you about it being broken or saying your app is bad but the broke part was a downstream patch.

It’s not a second source, it becomes the only source as it turns off your phone notifications. It also leads in shorter distractions as you can quickly check if a message is important without pulling out and unlocking your phone.

It also does a billion “nice to have” things like card payments which work with your mask on, walking directions with convenient and easy to read arrows, and so much more.

It’s certainly not essential but I have worn mine every single day as it certainly provides value.

It doesn’t matter because it would average out because you will have queen fans who listen at a high amount as well. Unless for some reason an artist has a fan base which majority listen to less music than the average person for some reason.

Gimp has a way to draw circles. You use the circle selection tool and then use the trace selection menu button which draws a line around the selected circle in your choice of brush.

They did a terrible job of it. They broke all existing comment trees and pushed google+ really hard and automated posting. I seem to remember that commenting on YouTube would then make a post on google+ with your real name and likely notified your contacts about it.

It would make it difficult to cram as much battery in as they do currently. The iPhone has L shaped batteries so they fit around the pcb.

I’m not convinced standardised batteries are required. The vast majority of people are using only a small number of phones. A battery store could easily stock the batteries for every iPhone model. The real problem is how hard it is for the average person to replace them.

Reddit used to go down all the time but in the last 3 years it has been very stable and hardly ever goes down.
