Re: He's very impressed—Tom's Guide reviews the iPhone 13 Pro Max - Today

100% charge in 30 minutes. a few do it, although no big names. Andriod, natch. And think they got hot to the touch after. iPhones max at 20, think sammys go to 25. OnePlus does it, and something else. I only remember because I was reading about the camera in the OnePlus, its a Hasselblad partnership. Prob next "big" step. Or folding.

Quoterz Good for her. But really, why does anyone care except for her and her partner? Id like to say that in this day an age, most peeps are "meh, thats nice" to the whole coming out thing. As in its another everyday thing. But then again, Utah. And the South. And Texas.

Its too big. =) I havent read the whole review, but wish they could have throw in super super fast charging like some other phones. Nut prob means USB C. whickjh, ugh. Should be there... guess next year Granted, since the battery goes forever, the idea of needing to charge often is far less so. And if you are that person... battery packs. Cost nothing.

QuoteBlankity Blank Now if I finally got the gumption to adopt coveralls as my daily apparel, that might be different. Or a purse, since 80% of my clients happen to be women on the go, and treat purses like a briefcase. =)

QuoteRobert M jdc, And my answer is the same. If they really want use an iPad Mini as a replacement for their phone, but haven't done so already, likely there is a good reason for it. The release of the new model isn't going to change the situation. Robert Im not sure why you have to keep beating this dead horse. Its your way or no way?

Quoterouderon Very interesting, I am in the market for another vehicle and was really interested in Carvana. I may steer clear of them now (at least until this mess is straightened out).

It still sounds cumbersome since there isn't a dialing app, but I could see the possibility of it being adapted by many of my clients -- a fair number, such as myself, use GV exclusively. Which can get around that limitation. A lot of them are dual carry, phone + iPad, the iPad is used to show clients documents and photos... but if th

Nice. One thing about these M1s... resale is gonna be great. They are just as fast today as a year ago, and still faster than just about everything out there. I can still sell the mini I bought last year for $569 for close to the same price today.
