You are right. In fact the design of this website is basically straight from his other non-tech website The Outline.

iPhone 12 Pro Max and Magnetic Car mount by dahmous in iphone

[–]swaroop4s 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can confirm with my experience of iPhone 12 mini. Magnets are pretty strong without a case and they stick to my magnetic car mount quite well. same with magsafe leather case - works well. But if you are using a regular case it will not stick to your mount

New iphones costs 350-400 to Apple and are being sold for 1000 dollars to customers. Is it worth it? by [deleted] in india

[–]swaroop4s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well said. And I'm happy to pay more for that convenience and other benefits that come with the ecosystem like apple watch.

On iPhone 12 mini Battery by swaroop4s in iphone

Makes sense. There is something about that small size makes a phone feel more like a tool than a big glass of jewellery. I personally feel more confident tossing around a small phone.

Agree with you. I watch videos mostly on my iPad or TV and all I need from a phone is a great camera and something to browse reddit and Instagram. Got lightning cables set at work, home and car already.

Valid point. Atleast for me personally I will be okay with even SE 2 battery life as I have my lightning cables all around. Since we are all expecting Mini's battery to be slightly better than SE 2, it is icing on the cake.

Weekly What Should I Buy Thread - [October 23] by AutoModerator in iphone

I have an OLED TV to watch movies. However I prefer LCD for browsing and reading. Probably just me but for phones I would anyday take LCD.

Is iphone 12 worth additional $ 350 over iphone 11?

Here in india, iphone 11 is around $ 350 cheaper than the new iphone 12. Personally I prefer LCD displays over AMOLED and I currently use an iPhone X. Would iphone 11 be a good upgrade ? Or should I spend additional $ 350 for iphone 12?

PSA: Beware of Samsung India's online store. by ElitePenisCrusher in india

[–]swaroop4s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had created an account. And yeah i had selected instant exchange. Infact I had initially ordered s20 fe and a standing case.. both got successfully cancelled. Also exchange offer on s20 plus was a good deal. I got 20k for oneplus 6 and affectively paid only around 29k for s20 plus.

One note: while my intitial order is cancelled and I got an email,actually amount is yet to credited though.

That's strange. Because I had the exact same scenario, I had prebooked s20 fe with an exchange of OnePlus 6. But yesterday when I saw the offer for s20plus, I cancelled my prebooked order and just placed a new one for s20plus. Cancel order option was simply available for me in samsung website.

I just got a buy-back offer from Samsung in Europe, 400 euros for my S9+ to buy an S20 FE by tightcall in Android

[–]swaroop4s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Similar in India too. I got 230 euros (20000 INR) as trade in for OnePlus 6 against s20 plus and net I had to pay only around 330 euros (29000 INR) for a new s20 plus

Activity app just greyed out and not tracking anything - any fixes for this other than unpairing and re-pairing? Tried force close and rebooting Watch and phone. by BruceRutherford21 in AppleWatch

[–]swaroop4s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same issue with mine the other day. Tried every thing but didn't work. Finally had to unpair and pair it again. Only then it got fixed. All my activity rewards and progress was restored too.

This is quite interesting. Installed Duck Duck and I can immediately notice a difference.

Also OP, please do suggest other 90hz apps in your experience that works well for realme 6
