Hi, it me.
I’d think this is just as much about data access as data safety. It’s a lot easier for China to gain access to and control their employees’ data and usage if they’re using a China-made Android phone than an iPhone.
Apple has to make special allowances to comply with Chinese law, but I’d imagine their phones are still keeping far more user data out of the Chinese government’s hands than their local competition.
Please. And the 200GB price should get bumped down to $2 to match Google’s low-tier pricing.
Exactly. Before USB-C this wouldn’t have been worth it for developers, but with TV/Monitor output I can totally see this being useful for some gamers who either can’t afford or don’t have the space for a gaming PC or console. Then there’s the fact that it becomes a way more portable experience than even a Steam Deck. If you travel a lot it opens up a lot of possibilities without having to add another device to your bag.
Does this mean my already slower iPhone 12 (due to battery age) will become even slower? Better than cancer, I suppose.
Yeah, I’m hoping the next iPad Mini will support this. At that point I would happily replace my laptop with it.
That said, I’d probably miss the full-size keyboard cases of its larger siblings. The iPad lineup never makes choosing one easy haha
