Samsung, The S9 Is Convincing No One To Switch

So The Samsung S9 and S9+ were released yesterday after a lot of hype and rumours we can now finally relax and take a step back and enjoy the device. Yeah right cue the comparison videos about how the S9 is better than the iPhone X or vice versa.

The S9 Is A Great Phone, But..

The S9 is a great phone don't get me wrong but it is just an incremental upgrade over the S8 and that's not necessarily bad thing. This phone is targeted at a particular demographic of people- people who loved the S8. The S9 builds on the S8 and it is a perfection of the S8.It fixes almost everything everyone been complaining about the S8, the fingerprint reader, the cameras , the speakers. You get that I'm saying. For that exact reason if the S8 didn't win you over the S9 probably won't. The S9 consolidates on what the S8 has done. Kind of like how the iPhone 8 isn't aimed at trying to get Android users to switch. It's a solid upgrade aimed at iPhone 7 and 6s users who want a solid phone with top of the line specs but don't want to pay a $1000 for a new phone. Meanwhile the iPhone X on the other hand is a phone thats mean't to draw in upgrades and people from Android. With it's gorgeous new design , FaceID great camera and whatnot. I can't see the iPhone 8 brining in as much attention as the iPhone X. The same goes for the S9. All the videos titled " Should you buy the iPhone X or the S9" are redundant people have already made up their mind. But the S9 is well placed to give stiff competition to it's 2018 competitors and to keep Samsung's market share safe from the likes of Apple and Google. The S9 is more of an S8s rather than a full number upgrade. Everyone who was going to switch has already switched with the Galaxy S8. Oh And by the way that first picture was an S8 not an S9.

So Which Is The Best Browser For Your Mac?

With all the chrome bashing that's been going on of late, It got me wondering and a bit jealous cause I was missing out on the aforementioned Chrome bashing. Does it really matter what browser you use? I mean they all fundamentally do the same thing, It turns all the ones and zeros of the internet into things that you can actually read on your screen. But as is turns out a whole lot of things have to happen for your favourite website to be displayed to you, In the shady back alleys of code that our browsers run on, It turns out that each browser does things a little bit differently. So what are our options? The Three main browsers that we'll be taking a look at today will be Safari, Firefox and Chrome.

Why Google Is About To Pay Apple $9 Billion To Do Nothing

There's a saying as old as time itself, "Its about quality not quantity" this couldn't be more true for Apple. By no stretch of the imagination does Apple dominate the smartphone market. In fact it just got passed by Huawei as the worlds second largest phone manufacturer. With such a small market share, You'd think that Apple would be at the mercy of much larger and just as established OEMs. But as with many things in the tech world Apple enjoys an advantageous position in the market and that lets them do a few things that most if not all other OEMs can't do at scale. From making a chinless phone by bending an OLED display to making $150 dollar wireless headphones that would have most likely failed had another company made them.This vantage point given to Apple by its grip on software and hardware and it's almost cult like following has made it a force to be reckoned with.I mean they're about to sell their 2 billionth iPhone , With such a huge ...

Why I Love The iOS Files App

iOS has long been guilty of being terrible with files, You had third party file managers that promised to give you a great files experience. But most of them fell pitifully short, some did almost come close to being good but none came close to the flexibility and power that a file explorer on Android, Windows or MacOS could ever hope to give you.That all changed with the introduction of the files app on iOS 11. Why Bother With A Files App? Apple has been talking about replacing the PC with an iPad for quite a while now and to truly replace a PC you need a few desktop features on iOS which is primarily a mobile OS. Ask anyone and they'll tell you that the ability to manipulate files is one of the most basic things that you'd expect a computer to do. After all one of the first GUI apps was a file explorer. So it makes sense to bring over the file explorer to iOS. But you just can't port finder over...
