ooh, shiny glass back!
- I think I'd rather have a sturdier phone over wireless chargingGnash
- so little has changed, it might as well be a 6+imbecile
- a glass back was a shit idea on the 4, and it's a shit idea nowhans_glib
- necessary for wireless charging they sayimbecile
- ^ ya, pretty sure that's the only reason they're using it.Gnash
- it's not because they're copying the Galaxy S8?monospaced
- so you can't have a case if you want wireless charging?hotroddy
- yeah, you can have a case and use wireless charging - it's only screen down that doesn't work.face_melter
- And you can only use plastics or glass for wireless charging otherwise, y'know, metal and physics, and conductivity, and shit.face_melter
- Ceramic, carbon, polymer, etc. all work as long as they're non-metallic materials. Glass is just a style based decision.zarkonite

"Consider the "taking it out of your pocket" use case: If you're good, you'll stick your hand in your pocket and grip the phone so your finger lands on the fingerprint reader. Touch ID works as both an "on" button and an "authentication" button. In one touch, you've turned on the phone and logged in. You haven't even fully taken the phone out of your pocket yet, and it's already on and unlocked. By the time you bring the phone to your face, the unlock process is finished and you're looking at the home screen.
To use the iPhone X's Face ID, you have take the phone out of your pocket, lift it up to your face, swipe up to turn it on, and only then can can you start the unlock process. The difference is probably one or two seconds, but for something you do 80 times a day, having the fastest possible unlock system really matters."
- what person is able to unlock the phone in their pocket, lets not go exaggerate here hahaMiguex
- err, everyone? you put your finger on the sensor and it unlocks. This new UX adds 2 steps and a new delay to the process.zarkonite
- maybe you're thinking of the old phones where you had to swipe the screen?zarkonite
- no, I have that touch system on my phone as well. I guess if you really practice it can be done. but lets face it, majority of people don't.Miguex
- it's better than the face recognition thing though, for sure. Let's just leave the hype out for objectiveness sakeMiguex
- am I the only one that thinks that this face thing is interesting? I never liked Touch ID - especially at the gym or when cooking.inteliboy
- The fave thing is interesting. But not so much for what they're using it for right now. I can see it evolving into something coolmonNom
- Face unlocking is a little awkward especially in public, makes you look like you are taking a selfie.yuekit
- The Apple Pay setup is going to be incredibly awkward. Now you just hold your phone, with X you're going to have position yourself correctly, swipe, tap.face_melter
- Unless the tech is incredibly on point it's going to cause fuck ups when people are at the checkout.face_melter
- If they hadn't taken away the touch ID it would be a nice secondary option.zarkonite
- You don't have to swipe to activate it. It turns on when it detects the movement when you pull it out of your pocket. Like the other iPhones do.mekk
- Feeling around in your pocket to hold it by the home button to save time? Never done by anyone ever.Hayzilla
- Yeah, that's silly. I have the 7 and can't do that unless I'm actively trying in slow motion.fyoucher1

- @mono which DELL display model are you currently using? Do you like it?utopian

"Report: Apple will go up against Netflix, HBO, others with scripted TV shows
Apple is thinking about getting into the scripted TV business, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal. Ever-mysterious "people familiar with the matter" tell the Journal the shows would be offered to Apple Music subscribers and the company is talking to both "veteran producers" and "experienced marketing executives" to create and promote those shows. These shows could be released by the end of this year."

Actual questine:
My work got me a 16-inch M1 Max MacBook Pro. Lovely powerful machine but I prefer to work on a larger, sharp monitor. In the past, I keep the laptop closed and work on a 27” Dell Ultrasharp ~2880x1440 monitor.
So, to be clear: I want to work on one single monitor, roughly around the 24 to 27” size... but it has to be sharp AF.
I want to upgrade to a sharper monitor because text and UI will be sharper. So I start looking at 4K monitors, but I’m reading on forums that 4K isn’t optimized for Mac – That for the BEST scaling of MacOS you want to scale down to 2.5K or up to 5K.
So I start looking at 5K monitors, and the only good option is the LG 5K that is available on apple.com for $1299.
But Apple makes a new iMac M1 24-inch with a 4.5K screen – which is of course optimized for working with MacOS. A different aspect ratio but ultimately a better screen than the LG 5K monitor. And beautiful. And the price is $1299.
So, I could get an iMac with the display I want for the same price as the
THE PROBLEM: my work won’t let me use my own personal iMac for work. It is a security issue. There is no way around it. Even if I pay for the iMac myself, I can’t use it for work. I am required to use the 16-inch MBP that they sent me.
THE QUESTINE: is it possible to buy myself an iMac and use it for personal use but then also somehow use the iMac as a single external monitor connected to my work MacBook?
Note: I can’t install any software on the MacBook and I can’t even do something like signing into my personal Apple ID. I can connect Bluetooth and stuff but I can’t install software.
- Nope. Sadly not. The old iMac's have target display mode, but the M1's don't allow that. Unless anyone has updated info.Ianbolton
- I wanted to use my 5k iMac as a separate display, but no chance.Ianbolton
- Dang itnb
- Ian: there are software options: Duet or Luna. But I can’t install software.nb
- I got my wife and myself https://www.benq.com…, No USB-C, BUT price is right and image is great.ideaist
- Is that (sort of) a remote access solution? I worry about lag with thatIanbolton
- One of them has a dongle but I’m not sure if that removes the lagnb
- Get a Dell?
https://www.dell.com…grafician - Graf, that is not a 5k monitor. It’s 4k and as I said, people online say 4k doesn’t scale well from macOSnb
- Hey, you wanted a sharp monitor working great with MBPs...grafician
- People say the UI doesn’t scale to 4K as well, that Apple optimized the UI scaling for ~2.5K to 5Knb
- I meant ~2.5K or 5K. But 4K is weird, apparently. I have not seen this myself.nb
- Why not try a 4k or 5K monitor plugged into your laptop and see what YOU think. The forum commenters might be idiots.comicsans
- Yeah that’s a lot of effort thonb
- It’s not just forum commenters. This is a well-documented Mac issue (scaling rounding)nb
- I'm waiting for LG's new C2 42" TV to use as a display (coming out soon). Should be plenty crisp when back enough, be around $1k, and larger.fyoucher1
- ^ will connect via HDMIfyoucher1
- Is the LG UltraFine 5K not an option? It's all I've worked on for the past couple of years and it's really the only choice. Highly recommended.bogue
- @bogue yeah I’ll probably buy one. Just waiting to see if Apple announces a new cheaper display next month.nb
- oh yes, I was reading about that. very curious what "cheaper" means to apple.bogue
- Had the Dell 27" + MBP 16" Intel Big Sur, doing UI work no rounding or sharpness issues you keep referring, now waiting for the new Macbooks to switch againgrafician
- They best thing to do would be just try it yourself. buy a 4k and/or 5k monitor from a local best buy or Costco. Take back what you don't like.dbloc

Maybe this is why Apple's not releasing any 'Pro' stuff - they're perhaps just waiting for processor convergence?

- you know I've been complaining about this too, right?monospaced

- Aren't they supposedly releasing new MBPs in a few weeks? Personally I'd like to have something between an iMac and a Mac Pro. So overdue.monospaced

- though right now, i'm one of the haters - lack of pro updates for fucking years?? it's a joke.inteliboy
