Forget the OLED iPhone 8, the LCD screen might be making a comeback
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 22 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/66f30c06f3663be8b563b1bb9ece871b.jpg The iPhone 8 will bring us what will probably be Apple’s biggest screen upgrade since the introduction of the retina display: an OLED screen that should offer users an even better iPhone experience. However, only one of the three iPhone 8 units expected next year will ship with an OLED display. OLED technology has reached a point where it’s affordable to use on the iPhone, a move Apple kept postponing due to cost and supply concerns. But screen supply won’t be able to meet Apple’s requirements, and two iPhone 8 versions will launch with LCD displays. Continue reading... Trending right …

We already posted our big gift guide for the season and there are tons of great options in there, but we'll be peppering in more gift ideas all month long to make sure that you have as many great options as possible as you do your holiday shopping.

People are trying to save 2016 by making ‘puppies’ the word of the year
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 19 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/64ba7f85f43f27037d9b6e0ffd91adfd.gif Scientifically speaking, 2016 has been a trash fire inside a dumpster fire of a limp-wristed excuse for a year. But we've still got another month to go. You could take this opportunity to prepare for the unexpected ice age that will probably strike with no warning over Christmas; or, as some upbeat internet users are doing, you could work your ass off to make "puppies" the word of the year, and give historians one happy footnote in the chapter of badness.

Sprint is extending its most popular Black Friday unlimited data deal

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/98973e10031a77625da962b7c02edf41.jpg As is becoming tradition, Sprint rolled out a bunch of "limited-time" offers on data plans for Black Friday. As it turns out, the only time limit is "as long as people want the deal." Considering that the plans Sprint are offering are a steal -- provided you like Sprint and live somewhere with good service -- it's not a surprise the network is extending the offer for an unspecified amount of time. That surprise shouldn't stop you from taking a good look at your Verizon bill and considering if it's worth it, though. Continue reading... Trending right now: Galaxy Note 7 fires were…

The move is meant to help you binge on your favorite shows while you’re on the move, without worrying whether you’ve got access to a wireless network, or whether you have enough data on your cellular plan.

Negan will be sticking around for season 8 of ‘The Walking Dead’

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/ddf90d93a5bccc1bdb42a5fc16fd9906.jpeg Jeffrey Dean Morgan's portrayal of Negan on The Walking Dead is unquestionably and absolutely chilling. From the first moment we caught a glimpse of Morgan jovially swinging around his beloved bat Lucille, it was overwhelmingly clear that Negan was not someone you wanted to mess with. Even after brutally killing Glenn and Abraham, Negan took things to the next level after almost forcing Rick to cut off Carl's arm. If The Walking Dead showrunners were intent on portraying Negan as the epitome of pure evil, they succeeded. Continue reading... Trending right now: Microsoft kicks o…

If anything, the "smart lights" you’ve seen all over the web are just as dumb as regular light bulbs because they still need another device like a smart home hub or an iPhone to control them.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/850dd486a23b37d55b37df22f699fa24.jpg Two years ago, Sony decided that E3 wasn't enough. Rather than wait a year to showcase its games to the world, the company behind the PlayStation decided to host its own event in Las Vegas — an event that anyone could attend — and thus the annual PlayStation Experience was born. Two years later, the third PSX, which will run from December 3rd-4th, is about to begin. Although we know the schedule of the two-day event and the panels that will be held, we still don't know what surprises the keynote has in store. Continue reading...
