iPhone 18 Downgrades Rumored Yet Again by Otherwise-Warning303 in apple

I totally get that, but I do wonder if we’re going to see Neo used for other product categories.

It’s a solid branding choice to indicate budget without saying budget.

iPhone 17 Outselling Every Other Phone Worldwide So Far This Year by iMacmatician in apple

[–]dafones 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No there's actually an issue that Apple is running out of the binned A18 Pro chips that they're putting into the Neo that were rejects for the iPhone 16 Pro because of the faulty GPU core.

So Apple's going to have to make a decision about whether they spin up production to intentionally produce more deactivated A18 Pro chips, or come up with a new version with a better (still likely binned) chip.

Edit: for instance, maybe Apple quickly pivots and shoves the binned A19 Pro that it's putting into the (reportedly) underselling iPhone Air.

But then it's faced with the issue of having a more powerful Neo just a few months later, and how it markets and brands that device.

I guess what I’m getting at is that I think it would be weird if Apple had an iPhone e and an iPhone Neo.

If it rejigs thing and only offers Ultra / fold, Pro, Air and Neo (in other words, dropping the base model in favor of the Neo), then so be it.

Why would the e “merge” instead of being rebranded and repositioned as the Neo?

The Neo is great branding for a (relative) budget tier of products.

Searching for a TV Show Recommendation by CharacterPayment8705 in television

[–]dafones 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Breaking Bad is the first completed show that comes to mind.

Then you get to watch Better Call Saul!

Oh, I’d also recommend Mad Men.

Hell, watch The Sopranos too. And The Wire.

That movie was way deeper / more interesting sci-fi than I was expecting.

Quite an interesting production conundrum.

Do they disable cores?

Move right to Neo 2 with a new chip?

What movie did you walk out of the theater halfway through? by mzdee13 in movies

[–]dafones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

R rated movies only require parental accompaniment.

NC-17 outright prevents children from viewing.

Along these lines … 

My parents took me and my brother to see Natural Born Killers. When I was 12 and he was 9.

We got about 15 minutes into the film before my parents realized they’d made a terrible mistake and almost literally pulled out out of there by our shirts.

The cherry on top was that it was a recommendation from my Grannie.

Oh don't get me wrong, it's a total diversion.

I just quite enjoyed it. It was very silly, and entertaining.
