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.

The Huawei Ban Is Justified (Hear Me Out)

So a few a year or so ago I talked about the consequences of using a Huawei phone here  and more than a year later things aren't all that different. Recently Huawei was accused of being a security threat by the United States and has asked all American companies to not do business with Huawei. So that means that Huawei is now cut off from Intel, Qualcomm and most importantly Android. Now this might seem harsh at first glance. The US is unfairly targeting a law abiding company just for the fact that it is Chinese. But a closer look reveals much more.  How China Does Business Unlike in the west and much of the world. China does not have a protections for intellectual property. That means that no ones protecting your idea from being ripped off by someone else and then being brought to market. In most of the world if someone violates a patent you can sue them. Case and point look at pressy a small Kickstarter that makes a small button that plugs into your phones headphone jack (

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.  Safari Safari is the browser that comes with your iPhone or iPad or your Mac as we are discussing in this case. It's a fast fluid responsive modern browser. It's my browser on choice. Safari a few things going for it. First off it's a first party brows

My iOS 13 Wishlist

Around this time last year I wrote the  iOS 12 wish list , And to my surprise most of my prayers were answered, and iOS 12 has been wonderful for the last 5 months or so. But now we're coming up on another WWDC, Yes its still 5 months away but that hasn't stopped the rumour mill from speculating what the next version of iOS will be.Here are a few features that I'd like to see on the next version of iOS. A New Look For iOS 13 Ever since iOS 7 iOS has looked the same more or less, With its flat icons and punchy colours. I feel that the time for a refresh is long overdue. Don't get me wrong it looks great but, Its stale and I fresh new coat of paint can go wonders in making iOS 13 feel radically different. Apple has their work cut out for them if they do decide to go down this route. Finding a new design aesthetic isn't the most easiest thing in the world. When you consider that the new design refresh will have be loved and should be simple to use for millions
