Anyone got any tips and tricks in getting into a Find My iPhone locked phone?
My sister recently broke her phone, her friend gave her his old one but he doesn't know his apple ID password.
Is there any application I can use to just completely wipe the thing?
Aaron Cox
>screen corners I didn't mean the body of the phone itself, the display screen is square as fuck on the top and has a very small curve on the bottom corners, it's practically negligible, especially compared to trash like and pic related
>it's practically negligible Yeah, if you're willing to settle. It's a shame really, this could have been /ourphone/ but it isn't even symmetrical.
Jordan Carter
Ask her "friend" that "gifted" it to take it to an apple store, with proof of ownership/purchase.
Leo Lewis
Is Essential Phone good?
Jonathan Williams
this isn't what I've heard about it's specs so far speculation has been 660 for the base G7 and 710 for the plus model
Ayden Rogers
Still the best looking display screen desu I'm just glad Sony hasn't notched it up yet
Brandon Jones
It's all rumors at the moment my dude
Brandon Taylor
true, I just want to believe Motorola learned from the mistakes they made this year and not fuck up again but if you follow recent trends, the GX+ series always has the same or better than the previous years ZPlay offering I'm also hoping the X series was a one time thing and they consolidate their lineup from the mess it was this year
Daniel Young
Where are you seeing curvature on the Poco's display exactly?
Elijah Clark
>Where are you seeing curvature on the Poco's display exactly? the Sony autist is talking about the corners of the display not being 90° angles
Austin Wilson
Don't be daft, I meant the corners of the screen, not the whole screen itself.
And? Good luck buying a phone without it in this day and age. There are far more significant design choices to be concerned about.

Owen Stewart
I fucking hate apple and their cancer notch that's actually behaving like cancer and is replicating itself in every manufacturer
Julian Sanchez
except that doesn't mimic Apples notch other than the fact its a notch
Kayden Myers
So? Obviously nobody does the same notch that apple does because of patents, that doesn't mean the cancer didn't spread from the iPhone x >Inb4 essential phone Had not been for the iPhone x that would have been the first and last time we saw a notch on a phone
Matthew Rodriguez
>Obviously nobody does the same notch that apple does because of patents uhhhh, have you scene the smartphone market as of late? you're fucking joking, right?
>Chinkphones Haha yes, phones from a country were copyright doesn't exist >Also 0 counter-arguments

Haven't they been annoucing "the iPhone killer" for 10 years now? Wake me up when they actually come up with a better product.

>What's wrong with Xiaomi? Absulotely nothing. That's why I'd like to buy a Xiaomi for myself insted of buying one to give away. >Xperia XZ1 My last xperia was bad but that was 4+ years ago. So is a Moto G6 or a P20 lite also a good option?
The Galaxy S9 is on sale here for 500 EUR, think it's worth it, or does the deal for a pixel 3 for 700 EUR sound better?
Cooper Mitchell
>Absulotely nothing. That's why I'd like to buy a Xiaomi for myself insted of buying one to give away. So buy Xiaomi for the both of you then
>So is a Moto G6 or a P20 lite also a good option? No
Christian Hall
>Calling others brainier Ok pal I thought you were serious, but apparently you can't tell the difference between the notch in those phones and the in the iPhone X >Again 0 counter-arguments
Anthony Jackson
Euro S9 has abysmal battery life due to the Exynos, so it's not an option. If you could find the S9+ for 700 € that would be better than the Pixel.
William Brooks
Any word on when the new nokias will be out?
I'm thinking of buying the 6.1 but if the 6.2 is coming out this month I might wait.
Alexander Peterson
its the same fucking dimensions, and the same design you're fucking blind, retarded or both if you can't see that >0 arguments so blind AND retarded, got it
Christopher Cook
>abysmal battery life I'd say it's pretty average as an S9 owner tbqh
What SoT do you get? Everyone I know who has one gets around 4-5 hours of standard, non-heavy use, which is half of what should be acceptable on a flagship. It could be the new UI/Pie ugrade fixed power management, I don't think any of them upgraded so far.
Robert Adams
lg g7 pixel 3 zenphones the only reason other companies dont do it is because its fucking ugly
Bentley Robinson
I'm thinking of getting a refurbished galaxy s9/s9+ from a place like swappa/ebay instead of getting a chinkphone because muh daydream/gear vr, muh wireless charging, muh headphone jack, and muh microsd card expansion. Will I get a piece of shit that breaks in a couple months? I've never purchased a refurbished phone before.
Michael Morgan
Should i pay 620$ for a brand new note 9 it feels like too much
Exynos Note 9 owner here, after about 10 hours of SOT I usually charge it with 25-35% left. Full power mode, always 5-10 apps running minimum, about 2 hours of GPS usage per day. Has a much bigger battery though.
Killer deal desu, paid 979€ for the 8gb version including 128gb SD card. I'd go for it. It's huge though and the Note 8 isn't much worse from what I hear (except battery of course).
Mason Rogers
I just bought the nokia 6.1
I hope it lives up to their old quality at least a little.
The Exynos S9+ isn't really much better, look at how poorly it does in this battery drain test, almost 1hr less as the next worst phone (even though it's set at 1080p!): youtu.be/3_y8BGOP-vw
Thomas Diaz
what's the best budget phone available right now?
is there a good resource or wiki that keeps one up to date on the best models, etc.?
Bentley Harris
I'm on the Pie beta, 4.5 hours SOT with heavy usage and no power optimisations (AOD, 1440p, battery sucking apps like FB, Snapchat etc).
Lucas Ward
One of the Xiaomi phones, unless you're in the US, in which case, one of the Motorola or Nokia budget models.
Luis Jones
Pocophone
Hunter Carter
thank you. btw why would xioami not be a good option for someone based in the US?
Cameron Harris
might pull the trigger tomorrow the 8gb version is like 900$ but i cant justify paying that much for it i'm used to my friends note 8 so i guess the size would be aight how's the battery life?
Kayden Cox
no official band 12 or 17 LTE reception the LATAM/Taiwan version has B2,4, and 5 but not 12 or 17
Leo Barnes
although they do pick up B28, so it might just be a software fix to get them to work with B12/17
Adrian Harris
Xiaomi doesn't officially sell any phones in the US, so the frequency support on most of their models isn't that good for the US carriers.
Eli Kelly
That's in-line with what I've witnessed then, the difference is I don't count such apps under heavy usage since it's a given you'll be using several of those daily.
Nathan Hall
>So buy Xiaomi for the both of you then I'd like to stay friends with the gift recipient. >No Why not? Please elaborate.
Luke Smith
When will we start seeing more phones use variable apertures? It proved to be pretty useful on the S9/S9+ so I'd imagine more companies will adopt it.
Nathaniel Adams
Redmi Note 6 it's on sale, cheaper than RN5. It is worthy?
Jaxson Martin
>I'd like to stay friends with the gift recipient. Elaborate
Huawei P20 Lite: Meh performance, meh camera, meh battery life. Doesn't really do anything well. Huawei's Android skin EMUI sucks balls. If you still end up going with Huawei then at least pick a Honor Play or Honor 8X instead.
David Gray
>>I'd like to stay friends with the gift recipient. >Elaborate They'd likely laugh at me and not take me seriously if I told them that a phone made by a relatively little-known Chinese company makes better phones that the Samsungs that they have used in the past. >Honor Play or Honor 8X Thanks for the suggestions, I'll look into them. I'm not into the Notch design or the huge screen but the specs look really promising on both of those phones, even though they are a bit more expensive. (250€ compared to 200). Will any of these phones last 2+ years without significant slowdowns?
Michael Mitchell
>little known 4th largest phone manufacturer in the works by sales
Brandon Clark
To anyone looking to get one of the Moto G6 phones: Go for the G6+
Regular G6 and G6 Play are pure garbage
Ayden Rogers
Well if that's all it takes to end your friendship, then maybe he doesn't deserve such an expensive gift.
>Will any of these phones last 2+ years without significant slowdowns? The Honor 8X and Play definitely would, they've got strong SoCs. Moto G6 and P20 Lite are a lot weaker, I really wouldn't recommend either.
