Gizmodo may be liberally biased (and I don’t blame them), but they are so far from the despicable quality of Drudge that your making such a comparison says more about your eye for quality than anything else.

Not according to many reviews and personal anecdotes I have read and heard. The surface pen is great, no doubt, but apparently the Apple pencil has recognizably faster and more accurate responsiveness, and illustrators like the ability to change brush thickness with the angle of the pencil.

You are forgetting the portability part. You can pair a Wacom with any computer, and you can bring the iPad Pro or the MacBook with you and hook it up to any screen. Also the iPad Pro can work as a tablet or secondary screen for your MacBook.

Is the pen responsiveness as good as the Apple Pencil on the iPad Pro? 1024 touch points sounds like you aren’t going to be getting 1:1 pixel response on the 5k screen.

You mean like any timeline in engineering just about anywhere? I’d rather they take the time to do it right rather than rush to meet an arbitrary deadline just to satisfy your absurd demands.

Not the same at all, China does not have a comparable population of westerners living in China and western actors and models are already the international default and heavily influence standards of beauty and other characteristics around the world.

All of my coworkers listen to their music on their laptops (with headphones). I don’t think I have ever seen one listening on their phone at their desk. Weird that it’s so different between different workplaces.

Maybe in the immediate short term. I bet in the long run people will forget this happened. Half the people I see on the subway are using wireless headphones, and the other half are using Apple white headphones, so none of these people are going to be impacted by this.

This should not be the top comment here. Shows how shallowly people are looking at this decision.

Certainly, it isn’t 100% of photographers, but the majority of the ones I know do prefer their iPhones. That being said you have a point about the integration with Macs that is a selling point beyond any questions of quality.

This is why doctors really strongly suggest you take your full antibiotics course to insure as few bacteria as possible survive.

Wait really? Why is this not on by default?

This is the opposite of my anecdotal experience, so I wouldn’t exactly consider this telling either way. Considering how many professional photographers still prefer iPhones over Androids, I think that is more indicative.

I never pretended one is vastly superior than the other, I am actually countering that claim.

Good point. Although them being separated does increase the chance of losing one.

I don’t want battery wasting widgets showing personal info on my home screen. The widgets in the iOS notification center do the trick just fine for me and update only when I need them, not whenever I look at my homescreen, and in many cases I prefer their design and functionality to the equivalents on Android (I have…

It’s not that i can’t figure it out, it’s that I enjoy it more on iOS, and I have more integrations both native and 3rd party to use that are of higher quality. I work with a number of web developers on Linux and Android, and they can’t do everything I can without a lot more painful setting up.

If you are counting megapixels you are doing it wrong. The vast majority of people don’t even have screens to show the full resolution, and often higher MP count means lower quality light capture and other sacrifices.

You are probably hearing 1/10th of your music.

If you want any sort of quality, yeah that’s reasonable. Have you tried cheap wireless headphones? They are awful.
