i’m actually slightly stunned that Samsung is selling this in a real way at real stores that anyone (with enough money / lack of common sense) can just buy. so often weird display concepts are limited to the company’s website and always out of stock if they ever get sold at all — PolitiTweet.org

@DatGeekDad @allisonjo1 i would also argue that the overuse of HDR and poor software has led to a lot of very unrealistic looking photos in recent years — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

love this piece from @allisonjo1 and I fully agree — it’s time to take back the contrast we’ve lost from photos (I personally use a customized photo style on my iPhone called “Rich Warm”, which is also how i feel when i drink expensive scotch) https://t.co/w8vJ5TPLPD — PolitiTweet.org

@DatGeekDad also those carrier deals and apple card payments work on the 12 too, fwiw — PolitiTweet.org

@DatGeekDad history shows the cheapest apple model is what always sells best, so i take your challenge! i think most kids getting a brand new phone are happy to get A Phone and don’t necessarily get the best one on the shelf. — PolitiTweet.org

@DatGeekDad not many parents buying their kid a phone that would look at the $600 for the 12 and the $900 for the 14 Plus and then choose the 14 Plus — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@DatGeekDad the 14 Plus will almost certainly outsell the 14, but my money is the 12 being the top seller (provided there aren’t sales / discounts on the 13 or 14 models that make them more attractive) — PolitiTweet.org

@Countable_Newt @BravoEcho1_1 i think that’s a very generous read of it :) — PolitiTweet.org

scoop from @alexheath and @pierce: Google’s next Pixelbook has been scrapped and it’s very likely there won’t be another one as the team working on it has been dispersed elsewhere in Google https://t.co/uc0zsQn5W4 — PolitiTweet.org

@Countable_Newt @BravoEcho1_1 the argument against this is it took an extra year to bring home screen widgets / app library to the iPad and it’s effectively the same thing as what’s on the iPhone, with one larger widget size. — PolitiTweet.org

@NateMadDog between the 13 mini and the 12 at the same price, vast majority of buyers will choose the 12. very few people actually want smaller phones. — PolitiTweet.org

now that third party apps with lock screen widgets are out i’m very jazzed about my lock screen (todoist on the left, fantastical on the right) i would absolutely use larger or more widgets if apple gave me access to more of the screen https://t.co/iyME8aDO7X — PolitiTweet.org

Lutron inarguably makes the best smart switches on the market, but it’s hilarious to me how long it took them to come out with ones that look like their ubiquitous dumb switches/dimmers: https://t.co/vuiEr6zjTe — PolitiTweet.org

@dmoren @mattcassinelli being able to sync the watch face with my focus mode in iOS 16 really pushed me over the edge. i had used a shortcut to do it before but it was super flaky. love having an info dense watchface during the workday with upcoming calendar/to-do, and then something more chill after — PolitiTweet.org

hot take: the most popular iPhone model this holiday season is going to be the 64GB iPhone 12. looks modern, comes in a bunch of colors, cheapest price. it’s the XR all over again. — PolitiTweet.org

with iOS 16 now (almost) here, i’m reminded how silly it is that the iPad isn’t getting any of the lock screen improvements that the iPhone got. widgets would be super useful, especially on an iPad mini, and there’s so much more room for them. next year, i guess. — PolitiTweet.org

iOS 16 arrives today, here’s @pierce’s take on what it means for the iPhone and what will impact your day to day the most: https://t.co/whEgAm4X3B — PolitiTweet.org

@AdrianCovert it’s supposed to reflect the positions but i have not verified that it’s accurate. presumably they move over time. — PolitiTweet.org
