Good luck with what? Replacing a battery at home is not that difficult on an iPhone, and it’s fairly cheap without AppleCare if you just go to an Apple Store. Covered if you have it.

This.

The only negative thing about the whole situation was that Apple didn’t publicize it, not that they throttled the devices.

Get a new battery for it and the thing works just fine.

No, not even close.

Arab nations forced hundreds of thousands of Jews out of their homes and into Israel when the Brits controlled it.

Israel accepted the UN proposal for a two state solution, giving Gaza and the West Bank to Palestine.

Palestine rejected it and launched a war against Israel with the help of Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iran in an attempt to eliminate the Jews in Israel.

The idea of a firmament is definitely a thing and has been for thousands of years. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmament

I’ve heard about it all my life from mainstream Christian churches too. Though it’s more of a metaphorical thing than physical. Like it’s a supernatural reason why we can never get to Mars rather than being a glass dome.

Dude seriously hasn’t left his parents house yet?

Because it’s all generated, encrypted, and stored on device.

Unless you have some evidence that they’re lying about out their data security, in which case you should probably sue about it and get rich as fuck.

Like half the point of smartwatches is health vital tracking…. Blood oxygen is a major vital sign.

If they’re using it for work, they could have a bunch of corporate stuff loaded on it, and using a VPN by default. All of which can slow it down.

Because optical discs are slow af lol.

Blu ray caps out at around 72MBps.

A gen 4 nvme drive can hit 7500MBps. Over 100x faster

Reading from disc during run time makes no sense today.

This always gets said, but there hasn’t been a price increase in years.

Sure, but this is 2 guests unless they’re planning on lying about it. In which case, double whammy when they get hit with another fee for extra people.

I have never had a hotel charge bullshit fees. Rental rate and tax are all I have ever paid.

I can guarantee you can get a pretty nice hotel for less than that without bullshit fees. Anyone still using Airbnb or any of the other short term rentals deserve what they get.

That doesn’t answer the question….

The base galaxy s is the same size as a base iPhone. 6.1 inch screen.

There’s nothing mini about it in the least. The iPhone mini had a 5.4 inch screen.

They never officially discontinued the mini line in the first place. They just didn't release new models after the 13. The announcement that they discontinued it was that they were discontinuing production of the 13 mini, which they had kept making alongside the regular 13 after the 14 lineup was released. Up until the release of the 15s, you could still buy the 13 mini new from Apple. Discontinuing the 13 mini killed off any way to buy one new.

There's still strong rumors that they might use the mini frame for the next SE model. It has pretty close to the same external dimensions as the 3rd gen SE, but would bring more screen real estate in the same package since it would be edge to edge instead of have the bezels. And it would also fit the rumored "release a mini every few years" strategy since they only release an SE every couple of years anyway.

The SE cannibalized mini sales because, for the most part, people that wanted the smaller size cared more about price than features, and the SE was the same size and quite a bit cheaper. Replacing the old iPhone 8 based SE with an iPhone mini based SE would kill two birds with one stone. It would let them use up a bunch of the excess stock they have laying around due to the poor sales, would bring the mini to a lower price point which would make it more popular, and would remove the competition between the SE and the mini.

The community is “malicious compliance”. It would only be a perfect fit for here if it were actually malicious compliance and not just a funny coincidence.

They haven’t made it in two years now. They stopped with the 13.
