Apple iPhone 5s battery problem

Samsung has had their own battery issues; I am not convinced they are any more reliable than Apple.

You didn’t want to wait the 80 years?

I'm surprised that didn't happen with me actually. The first time I came to Indonesia, I had my first iPhone and no one here had seen anything like it. Now I can't keep up with all my tech savvy friends and even young students. I feel about as smart as that toddler in the article.

I wonder which other Chinese phones besides Huawei will be put on a blacklist by the FBI etc.?

Even if it is a non issue for the current phones, I think everybody outside of China will think twice now before acquiring one.

We will see, perhaps it's just a pressure measure in the trade war. Otherwise the Chinese might have to develop and push their own Operating System.

HUAWEI the 3rd player?

The latest developments on this Chinese technology supplier are going very fast. It seems we can expect, next to Google (Android) and Apple (iOS) another big player on the market. Just like Oppo etc., this brand is huge in INDONESIA. But the market penetration in Europe etc. should also not be...
