Well the guy from Bloomberg is a bit of a jerk.
Because he is telling the truth?
I give it 40 days before an android phone is announced with 3D Touch reworded as Google Press, or Samsung Pressure or something like that.
Xaomi have already released a phone in China which has force touch so accurate apparently it can weigh objects.
It’s not Xiaomi. You mean Huawei with Mate S.
Aint Xiaomi, it is Huwaei. And they haven’t released it yet. It has only been announced.
And they only copied it from the Apple Watch and the rumours around the new iPhones.
Why don’t the new iPhone / iPad Pro not use USB type-C as charging / connector port? I was hopefull to not being forced to carry so many different cable for charging and finally put a dent into the port wars and apples proprietary esoteric solutions (like lightning connector).
What are you planning to do with all these Lightning connector equipped accessories? I’ve a lot of accessory from the 30 pin connector era and it’s a pain in the a** to use them with an adapter. But there could be USB-C adapter just like the Lightning to Micro USB adapter.
