​@@shizuxoI would say there are some slight but important differences between Xperia and iPhone buttons. On the Sony Xperia phones, the shutter button is a raised button. Like on a real camera. They are trying to emulate a camera in a phone's body. The iPhone shutter button looks more like the Xperia's power button. Flat and a little depressed like a finger print reader/power button combo, but you can additionaly slide your finger across the surface to scroll and access the camera menu and settings it looks like. At this point in time, we have reached peak cellular phones, until we get tech as advanced as seen in 2012's Total Recall where the cell phone is built into your palm for audio calls, or you can press your palm up against a glass screen and project a video call onto the glass. Everyone is out of truely original ideas and will instead draw inspiration from each other if any of the phone manufacturers try something different. Unfortunately there are not many major changes and improvements anymore. They are not exciting anymore. The last recent innovator was LG.

btw the 4090 can only do 52fps in alan woke 2 @1440p without upscale from 1080p or glitchy fake frames. which makes the 4090 basically just a 1080p card in actually modern games (lets ignore drops to 16fps in cp2077). "high-end GPUs" are obsolete and overpriced x10 times in 2024, because can't even run 2024 games on a $200 1440p 180hz monitors properly. the 5090 would be a 1440p 75fps GPU, lol, which barely makes it a 1440p card when all cheap 1440p monitors are 144-180hz these days.

Btw the RAM continously drain the battery, so dumb idea to stack it more than required.. it's nit a hard drive what you can turn off and even swap between devices turn on again and everything is there, the RAM immedietly wipe the memory if the power supply cutted off.. even in standby/idle you need to power those RAM modules, so lower amount is better for battery life..

[@genethebean7597]

The Ki charging standard is kind of scary for appliance use. At least when everyone was aiming to put wireless charging in cars that was outside the home. If using the standard 50% efficiency metric, supplying 2200W of power wirelessly would require 4400W of delivery power. This would also require a giant coil and very little separation between the appliance and the countertop. The insane amount of heat and both electric and magnetic fields generated can't be great for the appliance or countertop, and the power requirement alone, when run from 120V AC, would require a minimum 30A breaker (if output power is limited to < 1500W (3000W supply) or a 40A (!) breaker for full-speed operation. UPDATE: After reading through the proposed specifications, WPS is expecting all devices to reach a power efficiency 90% or greater of that to wired devices. Assuming these devices reach an efficiency of 90-95% from the grid, then devices charged by this scheme will likely have a minimum efficiency of approx. 80%. This still means that outputting 2200W requires nearly 2800W of input power. You'd still be consuming half a kilowatt more than just plugging them in, which translates to higher power bills and, more importantly, a fair bit of heat generation on the surface of the coil. According to WPS, this will be "hot to the touch, but not enough to cause burns." Also, they introduced the concept of not having any induction cooktops; instead, these would be replaced with Ki chargers and every pan would be a "smart pan," that uses NFC to tell the stove to turn on the power. Then it would cook your food using its internal induction coil. It's very likely that this will be more efficient than using a regular induction cooktop, especially with the protective glass separating the coil from the pan, and loss heat generated where the pan is not present. But this could make moving your pan during cooking difficult, if it takes like 5-10 seconds for the handshake to turn the coil back on.

[@prophetzarquon1922]

Yup. Aaaand based on the time it takes to charge a remote or an iPhone, as compared to the same AC adapter on a wired connection, Qi chargers actually draw more like 4× what goes into the battery!? Even if these cordless appliances were only _25%_ less efficient than corded, that would still add up to astronomical losses if even half of US countertop appliances went cordless.

[@genethebean7597]

@@prophetzarquon1922 And what would happen if you put your phone/iPad/IoT device on the same countertop? Is it going to start crashing constantly or even frying from these fields orbiting around the counter? Really curious if this would cause issues with accelerated device failures in the kitchen. Or at the bare minimum make smart switches or thermometers connected thru BLE/Matter/Z Wave cease to communicate.

[@Jestokost]

The video says Ki is designed around existing induction ranges, which are generally 40A in North America and literally designed to turn that energy into heat, so one presumes part of the Ki spec will include a similar degree of temperature resistance (and even if not, getting UL/similar certification will *definitely* require it). It also seems to be designed for relatively-simple kitchen appliances, so I’m not sure if magnetism is a concern either, considering having your phone near a running induction stove doesn’t annihilate it. Granted that despite the above, even if they do have better than 50% efficiency then wasted energy will still be a concern, but tbh just like Qi charging didn’t become the standard for consumer electronics, I think we’re going to see very limited market penetration for this outside of people who are rich enough that a) they don’t care about power costs, and b) they already have such gargantuan carbon footprints that Ki will be a relative non-factor. Basically, I think some rich idiots are going to burn their hands a lot, and not much else will change for anyone else.

[@genethebean7597]

@@Jestokost I suppose that almost all induction stovetops are 40A appliances, and that they do not create extreme electromagnetic forces when running. I would say, however, that induction stoves primarily use that principle for heat generation, as opposed to electrical transmission. With two coils of that size and power rating, you effectively create a transformer between the two; that's where the magnetism may come into play. Also, I think this is meant to be for a variety of appliances, like blenders or crock pots. So you would likely need to have both a standard range AND Ki charging to make cooking effective. Perhaps it would be only one 40A breaker for the range and one 40A breaker for a single Ki charger. That's likely all you would need for a "max charge" version. You could always have a "low speed charger" that only operates at 1000-1500W for devices like toasters or even "slow charging" @ 400W for appliances like rice cookers. All of this sums up to being rich people being the beta testers. It's not like they will be the ones using this tech frequently.

The regulations prohibiting US sales of "medical grade" hearing-aids without medical-grade regulatory testing, licensing, etc, were rescinded a few years ago; _specifically_ because major electronics companies like Apple, lobbied for it.

[@HildeTheOkayish]

smartphone suggestion. make the touchable space wrap all around the phone. screen, sides, back (maybe not the camera lens ^^"). most of the time you can just ignore the input given outside of the screen but this gives apps the option to create extra buttons all around the phone. like is done with the iPhone using the action button but just everywhere. add some good haptic feedback and it will feel as a button. imagine the possibilities. gaming: instead of blocking the game with your hands to control the game you can have the input area be on the back of the phone. you could have the shoulder buttons you have on game controllers but then made from software navigation. more buttons to slide, click whatever. make the sides work like the tab button on keyboard. or create a small cursor you can control using the back of the phone so that you can be precise without your finger blocking the view short cuts. i was mostly thinking of this in art programs. when i want to draw on my phone the small screen doesn't allow for a lot of area to be taken up by buttons so it quickly will become menu in menu if you just want to switch something. but extra areas on the side or back of the phone could be used to program shortcuts that let you switch without even having to remove your finger from the screen. idk. i just thought of this and i am sure it has been thought of before but i just needed to write it down ^^". i think this might be something though!

[@itsmilan4069]

@@sensnowy There have been several controversies surrounding the Apple Watch over the years. Some of the concerns revolved around the health features, like the ECG and heart rhythm detection, which raised questions among medical professionals about users over-relying on the device for medical diagnoses and causing unnecessary anxiety. Apple also faced lawsuits over alleged patent infringements related to the watch's technology, particularly with its heart rate monitoring. There were issues with the manufacturing conditions too, similar to other Apple products, with reports of poor working conditions in factories like Foxconn. Durability was another complaint-some users felt the watch scratched too easily and wasn’t as sturdy as advertised. Concerns about radiation from the device and skin irritation from wearing it also came up, particularly with the materials used in the watch and its bands. More recently, there was a lawsuit claiming that the blood oxygen sensor on the Apple Watch might be biased against people with darker skin tones, raising questions about the inclusivity of its health technology. Overall, these issues have led to varying levels of concern, legal action, and media attention. so not only are you facts wrong but it sounds stupidity like something a fanboy would say

I can’t wait to accidentally hold the camera button down, only to be constantly linked to things I might like. Sounds perfect

[@prophetzarquon1922]

My first thought was that this is exactly why they would introduce an AI-driven contextual search button: "Oh, it activates your camera _and_ mic? That will generate _so much valuable telemetry."_ Like Amazon, Apple collects _astounding_ amounts of user-data for internal purposes including market strategy. A lot of the data collected due to this button, will probably be from inside a pocket or covered by a hand or table, due to accidental triggering; but even when that "AI" gets set up to tune out such erroneous activations, you can bet even the discarded activations will still contribute to their collected data...

[@mysteriousfox88]

they were mostly repeating the same features from the last phone as if it were new

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

Yep, that's Apple all right. Their biggest innovations I've been how to sell you the same phone multiple times now.

[@Big-Chungus21]

Not gonna lie, the 16 and 15 have both had pretty big redesigns with the change to USB - C, programmable button, touch sensitive camera button, redesigned rear glass, thinner bezels and so on. I’m surprised they’re even able to find things to change now we’re on the 16th iteration of the iPhone.

1:30 I hope this is a properly utilized gimmick unlike the pressure sensitive screens that they used to have for a few generations a while back. I only ever really used it in CoD mobile or to speed up "hold" gestures, but it was really neat.

[@prophetzarquon1922]

Pressure sensitive screen + gamers, equalled a lot of broken screens. Turns out gamers aren't always super-delicate with their controller surfaces...

[@HardwareScience]

The button might be a thing for shooting games. But for the most part it’s a gimmick just like the dynamic island

[@shizuxo]

Dynamic island was, this doesn't look like a gimmick

[@iris4547]

i wouldnt call the dynamic island a gimmick. it was just a veiled attempt to hide their massive notch. in typical fashion the brainless sheep lapped it up though.

[@zetsubou3704]

All that and they still can't add a capacitive fingerprint sensor 😐

[@OttoLP]

The dynamic island is just their attempt at trying to make the giant hole in the screen seem acceptable. The added button is just pure added functionality, so actually a nice change.

[@bradhaines3142]

honestly the 'island' is a huge upgrade from the chungus notch it had before

Companies are really scratching the bottom of the barrel for innovation on phones now.

[@prophetzarquon1922]

So many hardware features have been removed to cut costs \ "save space", that "smartphones" could spend the next decade just adding back features lost since 2003. Start with dedicated camera & navigation keys, then bring back wireless monitor & legacy networking support as the standard features they once were, then add an infrared blaster / illuminator back in, then (because illuminated) reintroduce true nightvision capability (not "enhancement"), then a tactile QWERTY, then the ability to unload the OS & load a different ROM on the fly, then an open-source expansion slot, true legacy "USB mass storage" mode, WiFi router functions that aren't locked down behind carrier "hotspot" restrictions, & maybe a 3D camera (y'know, just for fun). _(All of these things were features of my old phones, streamlined away as the "slate" aesthetic took over.)_ Oh, & of course a removable battery & removable storage, because what "smartphone" wouldn't have that?

[@Compact-Disc_700mb]

@@prophetzarquon1922 I completely agree! Nice to know that there are others out there with good tastes in technology. These days smartphones try to be more of a fashion statement than an actually useful tool, the only thing that they excel at is social media junk like FB, Instantgram and snapchart, If phones had better features and less restrictive and crappy software I might start using them again.

[@zeemon9623]

To be fair, Apple isn't usually a ground breaker. They take something that's already somewhat established and put their own spin on it. And I'd say the Apple camera "button" seems pretty cool. Sony's version is comparatively limited. But I do like my Sony phone and I certainly won't rush out to buy an iPhone anytime soon.
