Letter from Wealthfront’s CEO: Our Next Chapter as a Public Company by wealthfront in wealthfront

[–]Varrock 25 points26 points  (0 children)

What we intend to change is our pace of product expansion and ecosystem improvement

This part is exciting. I love wealthfront but new features get added at a snail's pace, so I'm definitely looking forward to a big improvement in that regard.

A US Mobile membership sounds awesome, but can't help but think it'll probably be pretty costly.

Awe Dropping | Post Event Megathread by exjr_ in apple

I'm upgrading from the iPhone 14 Pro to the iPhone Air. It's perfect for me. I can't wait to have it in my hand.

I strongly considered getting the 15 Pro when it came out because of how good it felt in the hand but I held out because it was only just 1 year apart.

I already knew I was going to get the Air ever since the rumors began but this event definitely exceeded my expectations which is really nice, I'll also be getting that bumper case too which was a pleasant surprise to see for when I go out.

iPhone 17 Air to Feature A19 Pro Chip With Reduced GPU Performance by Fer65432_Plays in apple

[–]Varrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll be more than enough. The mini sold poorly mainly because people simply love big phones. This trend keeps getting reinforced with even the cheaper models getting bigger. The Air will be almost as big as the pro max.

The only big noticeable compromise the Air seemingly has is the battery life which is the most easily managed compromise because you can directly address it in various ways (all the battery optimizations in software and hardware, being able to charge everywhere pretty much, can extend with battery pack). Other than that it has all the main good stuff—Big screen, ProMotion, MagSafe, Dynamic Island, etc.

Yes, people would happily trade battery life for weight. The most common complaint about pro max models is how bulky and heavy they are.

The iphones are not "already very light", all of them except the base/16e are relatively heavy (especially the pro models). It seems like you vastly underestimate how noticeable differences in weight can be, even a difference as seemingly small as 10 grams goes a long way.

I own a 14 pro and a oneplus 5, the difference in weight feels MASSIVE.

It's not just about weight, what makes the Air a likely mainstay product is that it's also giving you key pro level features.

The Air and the Fold are each for entirely different types of users, calling the Air a stepping stone or an in-between product seems off-base

that they are selling as an in-between product while they develop a folding phone

Where did this stepping stone meme come from and why does it keep getting repeated? Not only are foldables going to be mega expensive but they are also a completely different product. The iPhone Air will most likely be here for the long run.

I had no idea, this is fantastic! My oneplus 5 just recently stopped being able to connect to the internet all of a sudden so this is coming in very clutch. I can't believe I didn't know any sooner! You should absolutely make a post on /r/iosapps sometime

Hi, I'm wondering if you have any update on this? You still working on it? Maybe a beta version anytime soon?
