Whats the crack with Apple podcast, is it free or is there a subscription?

 

[Feek]

Not sure what you mean, the podcast app is free.

 

[iMacMart]

My bad, assumed it would cost in some way but just had a read and it all appears to be free of charge, makes a change in this day and age

Thanks

 

[glenimp617]

Still don’t believe it warrants the £1000+ price tag.

hardware and software engineers don't come cheap....nor does their legal team to ensure their patents are not being ripped off

that said, it's only £1,000 because people (in their millions) are paying it

I think a good question is if nobody was buying it, would next years model be cheaper with the same specs, or cheaper with poorer specs (ie, would they be prepared to eat into margin to drive sales)

 

[Mr_Cool]

I'm hoping very offer 20% soon.

Still over £1000 for the 256GB with £100 off

After that PC build guide they put out a few weeks ago I am never watching another video from The Verge, it was such a travesty they actually took it down...

The reason they gave was 'minor factual errors' - literal comedy in its own right.

I won't link to the re-upload as the channel name has a swear word in it but you can find it if you like and a whole plethora of react video's tearing it a new one.

Dear lord!

I'm quite keen to see the XR as this is likely to be Apple's best selling phone for some time (at least according to pundits).

What I would like an answer to is which type of screen performs best in bright light - OLED or LCD?

almost certain LCD is brighter, but I've just watched one of jonathan morrisons YT video which did a good comparison between the XR and XS. The OLED whites are white, whereas the LCDs are a bit yellow

Would be grateful for your thoughts on this team! I’ve purchased a Mous case for the iPhone XR. The back of the case looks great. However, the case is very slightly banana shaped. I know the front is intentionally banana shaped but the back is slightly too. I’ve tried to capture this on the below photos.

Is this normal and how the case grips the phone? I’m probably being paranoid / over-cautious but I don’t want to inadvertently bend my phone. Thanks in advance

 

[Yas786]

Probably best getting in touch with Mous, unless someone has the same case.

 

[Feek]

You won’t bend the phone. The case I was supplied for my work phone was shaped a bit like that but it stretched onto the phone perfectly.

 

[Cryfreeman]

Guys. What display size difference if any between a XS Max and Note 9 when watching non stretched video(YouTube/Netflix)?? My Google Fu has failed me.
