- new models were announced today by Apple

- successors to previous iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus

- they featured improved hardware specs

- their displays feature technology known as 3D Touch, which allows the device to recognize the pressure of a user's touch inputs, and allow different actions to occur based on how firmly the user touches the screen. Although it is similar, this is distinct from the Force Touch technology used on the Apple Watch and MacBook, as it is more sensitive and can recognize more varying levels of touch pressure than Force Touch.

Hooray, another iPhone to make my current iPhone obsolete.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Not buying another phone unless it can produce holograms.

Sony announced their Z5 phone recently and it has a 23 megapixel camera with 4k video recording and a 4k screen with expandable memory and it's waterproof. Honestly don't understand how people can overlook it in favour of an IPhone or a Galaxy.

Because and iphone and a galaxy are fucking iphones and galaxies. Plus the sony Z5 doesnt run ios. Popular phones do the best.

In other news, Atlus has another sale, and there are more 3DS updates..

but, it's what I expected, better camera, etc.

The sad truth of the consumer society we live in. I notice a few more people are getting the Xperias though so perhaps if they advertise it for once it could gain some mainstream appeal. Anyway it's the best smartphone avaliable for Android or Ios just on its battery life and 4k screen.
