Honestly, after a decade of keeping compatibility and stuff, and that the sous vide still works fine without the apk, I don't really see this as much of a big deal. An apk for a sous vide is nearly useless, anyhow. What are you going to do with it?

Do you need the apk to use it at all? Or is it just a little perk to go along with it?

Hopefully, someone hacks the apk so it just keeps working.

Actually, that's been done several times over the decades. As well as banning computer access. The guy caught hacking into the fbi gets his mouse and keyboard taken away.

Me too. Their needs to be more competition in the US market. I blame the three phone carriers laft. Their phone contracts only offer the most off to Samsung and Apple. In sure Samsung and Apple pay to have it that way, of course.

It would be possible, but it would be a lot slower and use up a lot more power. By my limited understanding, AI chips work by being able to do a lot of imprecise math at once, instead of normal chips designed to do precise math and not a lot at once.

Nope. It's still it's own Taiwanese company.

The ai stuff you can do with pictures on the pixel 9 is actually pretty nifty. I could see using that a lot more than a high refresh rate.

All else aside, what the heck do you need to waste battery power for on a 144hz phone screen? There's no reason. Heck, I have a 120hz screen and turned it down to 60.

It's their first one in ages. They're trying to re-enter the market. The hardware is pretty good. Not the most cutting edge, but you get the headphone jack and a microsd card slot back, and at $600 it's way better than the $1,200 bullshit samsung and apple have been trying to shill.

HTC just released a nice Lil $600 phone with a headphone jack and a microSD card slot. Think I'd rather have that.
