I guess that would be an NPU combined with LPDDR. Basically any Windows Copilot Plus approved device.

Wrong! Tons of "regular users" want to transfer their image library from their phone to their PC. This is usually dozens of GB of data. Very often the tranfer (from iphone to cheap windows laptop via oxidized cable) is not even completly successful.

My usual recomendation for these people is to buy icloud storage ($$$$) and sync the images over the web, because this is faster an less error prone.

EDIT: therefore the average amount of times anyone who buys a non pro iPhone plugs it into a computer with the intent to transfer data to it is almost 0


iPhone photos are usually in HEIF, and an on-the-fly conversion option that fails after hundred or so photos is enabled by default. Image transfer on iOS works half decent after you find that toggle.


What toggle? To not store them.in heif?



What are you trying to say? The link confirms what I said


Only if you assume that the supposed advanced ancient civilization oxidized large amounts of fossil hydrocarbon.


So what you're saying is there was a massive technologically advanced civilisation which didn't build buildings, didn't carve stone, didn't mine or refine metals, didn't deforest, didn't farm, and didn't use oil?


But there are other chemicals that a civilization might produce that are also visible in the geological record. Fertilizers would also leave a mark.

> Terra preta soils are found mainly in the Brazilian Amazon, where Sombroek et al. estimate that they cover at least 0.1–0.3%, or 6,300 to 18,900 square kilometres (2,400 to 7,300 sq mi) of low forested Amazonia; but others estimate this surface at 10.0% or more (twice the area of Great Britain).


They were better.


With it's current limitations, the only application for Mercedes' solution I can think of is during heavy traffic on highways. But calling it "not usable" does seem a bit harsh.

Of course if you prefer, move fast and brake... maybe


Traffic on highways is also by far the most frustrating part of driving basically for the same reasons it’s an easy-ish target for automation, so seems like a pretty good place to start.

IMO that’s just good product strategy.


That science guy has a good sense of humor.

shows a significant drop in caseload. There might be herd immunity effect if you assume a death rate of ~0.2%.


Does it supprot 3D Touch? I love that feature. It's the reason I never moved on from the iPhone 7.


what's the point of wanting this feature when it is not going to be a focus for many apps since this feature is not available in newer phones?


You can switch between Apps by hard swiping from the left edge. You can move the cursor and make text selections by hard pressing the keyboard. You can preview links in safary without having to long press. You can open additional options in control center (flashligh brightness, timer duration etc). You can hard press a song, and without lifting ur finger select what you want to do with it in less time than the newer models take to even show u the dialogue.

3D Touch was a great feature.


I am not certain but I think 3D touch referred only to touching app icons and opening a menu which you can still do but it is no longer as feature rich if the app supported it. All the other features you've listed are still present in newer phones.


No these features are not available in the Xs and 11(pro) as they lack the necessary hardware to recognize the force you apply to the screen. They simulate some of the features by opening the same menu after a long press, but that's not the same thing.


IIRC from high school biology, the melanin in the upper skin layer absorbs the sunlight thus preventing it from going any deeper into the skin.
