Samsung is continuing its recent tradition of publish a blog post ahead of its event with details. This time: more durable folding screens, stylus support, and there won’t be a Note announced. More details: https://t.co/eIVdLYDLAR https://t.co/Agk6HsMwZ4 — PolitiTweet.org

@reckless @Mellowie The WiFi only models are flaky as hell and only support Bluetooth communication with HomeKit hubs. ….there is nothing better I can find if you want to keep your external hardware. 😐 — PolitiTweet.org

@kait_tiffany cataloged them all (with a small assist from me). Just look at the LEGENDARY lineup from Season One: Motorola KRZR K1 Microsoft Kin One Palm Pixi iPhone 3G HTC HD2 Palm Pre Motorola RAZR V3i Microsoft Kin Two Samsung Intercept (with a fake webOS interface) — PolitiTweet.org

Gossip Girl continues the original’s tradition of cycling through lots of different interesting and neat phones that its characters would never actually use. Also did Microsoft get back into phones just because it missed doing all the product placement with Windows Phone? — PolitiTweet.org

Vergecast! ⁦@alexhcranz⁩ and I talk gadgets and RCS, ⁦@mslopatto⁩ and ⁦@joroulette⁩ talks Billionaires in Spaaaaceee, and ⁦@russellbrandom⁩ just up and made an entrance song for himself and it’s good and now I want one. https://t.co/LkJjExKpI3 — PolitiTweet.org

So Evernote has made a bunch of changes and is trying to win some users like me back. Noted. https://t.co/ZcriVu3njo — PolitiTweet.org

Anyway, in closing it does look like a big backpack and so when I attach my phone to it I think of the whole package as being … Large and on charge https://t.co/qYUXnT0Y2v — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

I should also say I don’t agree with the complaints that it’s silly looking or even too big. ALL external batteries are a little goofy looking in some way. And as for size: it’s already not a very big battery, smaller would be unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

@jacksondame You can really do either. I usually use the battery as a wireless charger so it’s convenient to leave it plugged in. But if you want the iPhone to charge faster, just swap it. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

This is the right way to think about it. MagSafe Battery a thing to extend, not to rapidly charge. Wireless is inherently less efficient than a wire, so taking steps to optimize for the wireless charge scenario is smart. But again, I think the Anker is the smarter buy at $50 — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

It’s the right call to use Lightning on the MagSafe battery because that’s the same port the iPhone has, but it underlines for me that Apple missed a huge opportunity with the iPhone X to switch to USB-C. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

One limitation of the MagSafe battery? Lightning is only one-directional when it comes to charging. The competing Anker has a USB-C port that can go both ways so you can charge something with a wire. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Here’s my review of the Apple MagSafe Battery. It’s a top-up for an iPhone, not a fill-up. Won’t fully charge even an iPhone 12 Mini. I think of it as a MagSafe charging puck that happens to have a battery, and in that sense I like it. But $99 is a lot https://t.co/DQDvfSj8QK https://t.co/I7knMl4xQ9 — PolitiTweet.org
