Bye Bye, Note 10+, hello iPhone Pro Max XL

[Almeuit]

it does seem so, but at least Samsung did it somewhat tastefully

Idk about you but if it functions well I don't care. I don't stare at the back of my phone.

Maybe that's just me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

nor do I, but you do see it from time to time without trying. better to see aesthetically pleasing than not.

I guess. I don't look at it and go "damn I wish it was a straight line like Samsung"

I don't care about things like that. Other things are worth critizing versus a straight line camera bump or not IMO.

I also really dislike the notch so apparently I do

It's okay I get it. Many have to find something to mock Apple for. Once Samsung does it one day everyone will justify why it's okay.

Just like how everyone was all "OMG NO HEADPHONE JACK? PFFT APPLE. SAMSUNG FTW."

Now that it is gone.. everyone is all "oh it isn't so bad" .

It's cool though everyone can hate on how it looks on the back all they want since I like how it functions. I think all phones should have a wide lens because when you need it and can get that amazing shot it's awesome. I'm hoping the Pixel 4 will be the same.

I've seen a lot of dislike about no 3.5 Jack on the note 10.

I dislike the fact iPhones and now Samsung’s don’t have a 3.5 headphone jack but I get it. Technology changes and there’s usually a good reason for it. Same thing with removable batteries and removable storage. We all adjust eventually.

Yep I know some won't like it. That's why I didn't say everyone . I am just saying I've been around here for a bit.. and seen the same people who have mocked now justify because Samsung did it.

As I said I get it.

I think it's fair to say both sides of the aisle justify their brand decisions on removal or added features.

Yep that's why I said I get it. Once Samsung does it the board tune will change for the majority of support.

It is normal. It happened with headphone jacks.. removable batteries.. it is okay. People will adjust and get over it. They always do .

There is no good reason for removing those things other than it's cheaper for the manufacturers to produce.

But here's an idea for Apple to jump ahead of the game with a new innovation all their own. Design the next phone to survive a drop into a bucket of liquid nitrogen. The lab geeks would go nuts over it!

Totally agree.

To save space? With larger batteries, and slimmer devices I think they needed to cram more in them. Don’t know that for sure but it makes sense.

The race to thinner phones contributes to how fragile they are. I'm sure that plays a part as you say, but the trade-off isn't a good one.

I like the Mate 30 Pro's triple camera design the best. Its sleek.

I’ve gotten used to the missing 3.5 headphone jack. I just use an adapter.
I haven’t needed to replace my battery but, if I did, all I have to do is go to the Apple store.
As far as storage, 128gb is plenty for me and I can use iCloud to share files.
We’re all different though and what we want or need is not the same.

I'm glad Apple went slightly thicker and shoved in a bigger battery this time around

Yep. I haven't cared about headphone jacks since like.. the Note 3 and 4. I've been all Bluetooth since then so I've never used it. That's why I don't care it is gone.
