Holy fuck
This is genius
This is why I love Apple. Software updates actually have new and innovative features.
>>53618817
>new and innovative
>existed as a jailbreak tweak and on android for years
Apple, truly the innovators of the mobile industry.
>>53618817
Holy fuck
This is a ripoff
This is why I hate Apple. I've been using an app (Twilight) for probably 5 year that does this exact thing. Of course Apple fanboys would never know this because they never peak over the walled garden.
>>53618840
hehe
>>53618865
i believe the word you are looking for is "peek"
does anybody remember when laptops came with physical brightness sliders?
those were the good days
>>53618890
You are correct. It is just that Apple makes me retarded.
>>53618900
those were annoying as fuck because I had like twenty other buttons on the side and I'd confuse them all the time.
>>53618890
Oh shit!!!!!!!!!!!!! Roasted!!!
>>53618900
>>53618914
Not to mention no control for the OS. Want your screen to automatically dim on battery? Well fuck you then.
>>53618865
Twilight and every other smartphone app doesn't do shit to filter out blue light though. They're literally placebos.
All they do is put a red overlay over the screen which make it seem like it's filtering blue light, but in reality it's not. In order to actually do something, you'd need the app to go into the actual hardware of the device and tell it to warm the colour levels of the screen. Dimming the screen via hardware (ie bringing the brightness down and not casting a dark overlay over everything) also does shit.
source: f.lux devs
Since Apple has control over the hardware, it can do it properly.
>>53619180
>also does shit
Sorry I meant this as in it does something. Warming the screen is still better though.
>>53618817
>>53619180
>setting 3D LUTs is going into the hardware

You hate apple because they take something useful and put it in their OS?

why are you on /g/?
>>53620070
Why would you need to browse files outside of an app that uses them?
>>53620129
Same reason for file managers on desktop operating systems.
>>53620148
What's that reason?
>>53620042
you really need to be shut down 2bh
>>53620208
To view files without having to open the specific program (or """"app"""" in this case) just to open them.
>>53620236
>>53620070
>>53619923
Is this a troll leading me around in circles?
>>53620256
The only troll here is the one that defends the lack of a file manager on a computer.
>>53620266
Is understanding why it's not there defending it? The fact every app is contained onto itself means there's less chance of shit going awry, have you seel what happens with android's file system once you install 50 apps that interact with the files from one another? That just doesn't happen on iOS.
I would personally appreciate being able to move shit around, but I understand why they made it impossible (without jailbreak, that is).
>>53618865
>peak
This is the average intelligence of an Apple hater
>>53620296
>That just doesn't happen on iOS.
It does but just don't know because Apple deems its users too retarded to handle something as simple as a file manager.
lmao i was able to do this on my first android phone years ago
>>53620347
It doesn't, apps are literally contained in their own folders, you won't find videos you put into a specific player if you install a different one, now, you can change read/write permissions as a power user with a file manager installed in a jailbroken iOS device, but that'll be you chosing to do that, not the clusterfuck android manages to be at times, with full file system scans on image browsers listing other app icons or buttons for instance.
Again, design choice, not limitation, it has even gotten much, much better than it used to be with their intra-app sharing apis.
>>53620129
I like Apple but fuck this mindset. Because we want to?
>>53619923
>>53620070
>I need advanced file management on a fucking toy with no productive applications anyway
Filesystem access was great on old phone operating systems like Windows Mobile that actually felt like real computers instead of teletubby toys with huge buttons to make retards feel mentally adequate, I don't really see a really discernible use for them beyond user preference on modern smartphone "operating systems"
>>53620347
>It does but just don't know because Apple deems its users too retarded
..what exactly do you mean "it does"? iOS apps are sandboxed from each other, there's no way for one app to read or corrupt another app's configurations or data.
Honestly in the 2+ years i spent with android i got sick of the file manager. I didn't even notice when it was gone because things like "view this PDF temporarily" became subtasks of the email app or browser app instead of cluttering up my downloads 'folder'.
>>53620429
You really have to use iOS for a while to feel why browsing directories and files inside the phone doesn't make sense. I don't really know how to explain, it's just not in line with the experience of using an iphone
>>53620129
>>53620482
The sandboxing can be good in some cases, like for security purposes. But there are some cases where it really does more bad than good.
What about when you want to edit a file in one app, and view it in another? Or be able to upload those files to a cloud service or attach them to an email when the app you're using doesn't provide a way to do those things?
>>53619524
That's not hardware spastic
>>53620587
>What about when you want to edit a file in one app, and view it in another? Or be able to upload those files to a cloud service or attach them to an email when the app you're using doesn't provide a way to do those things?
iPhone is literally baby's first smartphone. Their main argument is "usability," which is why their target audience is sorority girls and middle-aged housewives. All they need is facebook, snapchat, and safari. This is why Apple can get away with charging flagship prices for phones that are 2 years behind everything else on the market.
>>53620587
>The sandboxing can be good in some cases, like for security purposes.
Android uses sandboxing as well...

kek pls that's an apple original feature you cuck you just got butthurt and jealous of tim cock
>>53619620
This is what the f.lux devs actually beleive.
They also dislike Apple for banning f.lux on iOS (which was doing direct hardware control via an undocumented API, which is why it was banned a long time ago, Twilight existed until Night Shift was released only because all it did was place a red filter over the screen.)
If you want to hate Apple, hate them right - spewing bullshit only serves to weaken your argument.
>>53619893
save us based scatman
>>53619859
I'm going to assume that Apple has waited until they released a phone powerful enough to handle smooth color transitions over the course of an hour or longer.
Additionally, blue light reduction software can lower the contrast of a screen. so if the screen is already low quality and can't supporting finer details of contrast in a smaller color range, your eyes will tire faster.
>>53620756
I imagine using a red overlay does something, but at a lower color temperature you need to do additional things like change the color profile output, so the visual quality doesn't decrease.
Just to note, since iOS 7 or 8 on newer devices, lowering the screen brightness also lowered the color temperature.
>>53620752
Android has assigned each app a different Linux User ID, and enforced permissions since day 1. What are you going on about?
When is Apple going to get NFC? OLED? Expandable storage (kek, 300 dollars extra for 128gb???)? Swappable batteries? Water resistance?
Keep your marketing gimmicks, and I'll keep my god-tier phones.
>>53620745
Dick
I literally don't see the problem with this feature.
It's not like they said "it's revolutionary were the first guys to do this EVER husbxhabzjz"
Plus, none of the other mobile implementations I've seen have TrueTone, which changes the screen temp to match the ambient lighting so you don't get red screen if you have white lights
OMFG this is amazing!
Apple will just never stop innovating. Who else could have thought of this beside our lord and savior Steve Cocks! They probably found an old notebook that he wrote down these ideas in and just now implementing it. I bet they have years of tremendous achievements attributed to such a talented individual waiting to be shared with the world! Apple, don't change a thing.
Love,

Night shift is in a software update for older phones as well as newer ones
>>53620886
Oh yeah water resistance that really non gimmicky feature
>>53621713
I know at least half a dozen people that destroyed their phones after it fell out of their pocket and into the toilet.
>>53620886
I believe the iPhone 6s actually has water resistance, but they never advertised it to avoid lawsuits or people using it as permission to go swimming with it, as it's not perfect
I remember articles about it during the launch
>>53622043
Those were 4chan ads...
>>53622081
No, you fuck.
http://www.engadget.com/2015/10/02/iphone-6s-waterproof/
>>53622100
Yawn. Apple also claims to use a "shatterproof Sapphire screen" on the iPhone 6.
http://money.cnn.com/2015/11/20/technology/iphone-waterproof/index.html
>>53622196
>The iPhone 6s has incomplete water resistance, they didn't advertise it because people would go out of their way to abuse it
>No it doesn't, here's an article where they purposefully dunked it for 5 minutes and it lasted over a minute and still functioned whereas the iPhone 5 only lasts 10 seconds!
What the fuck?
>>53622246
Fuck you, you said the iPhone was water resistant. It's not.
>The iPhone continued to function for about 10 minutes after taking it out of the water, with a few hiccups. The phone did not play any music, because it thought that headphones were plugged into the jack -- possibly because the headphone port was waterlogged.
>Eventually, the screen went completely white, stopped functioning, and then shut off for good.
>>53622268
There's a clear improvement over the iPhone 5 mentioned in that article. Which lasts 10 seconds.
And in my original post I even said it wasn't perfect. You're crusading against nothing, and I don't know why.
You do know water resistance =/= waterproof, correct? Even Sony and Samsung have retracted how well their phones last in water, and they made big deals about it. The article says it lasts about a minute before there's noticeable damage. That's more than enough time to take it out of the toilet or a puddle or whatever shitfuck normies do
>>53622311
>Remarkably, the iPhone 6S continued to operate while submerged. But within seconds of taking a dip in the water, air bubbles began streaming up from the iPhone, suggesting that water was collecting inside the device.
>within seconds the phone was taking on water
It would be nice if someone would test how long the phone can stay underwater without suffering permanent damage. This seems to suggest that water was getting past all those fancy gaskets that iFix "discovered" within a matter of seconds.
I'm glad they finally took some steps towards waterproofing their phones, something Samsung and other Android makers have been doing since 2013.
I'm gl
>>53622353
The very article you keep quoting also says that if it lays flat (like a phone will naturally lay if you drop it) it can last 45 minutes.
>>53622367
But it doesn't say anything about the long term effects of that test. If water is getting into the case within "seconds" as their test points out, then there is permanent damage being done.
It doesn't matter though. I'm glad they finally took some steps in the right direction. They're 3 years behind everyone else, but at least they realized their mistake. Perhaps in 2019 they'll have a phone that is fully waterproof and has a shatterproof screen, like modern Androids.
>>53622311
i actually wash my galaxy s5 under the tap quite regularly.
>>53619180
Dude I am a software/network engineer and any library that communicates with the kernel has control over adjustments of display.
I mean it is 2016. All software is sent down the emulator intermode that is then turned into microcode,
What you defies how computers work. You cannot control a display wrong without changing drivers.
New and innovative features that immediately break any version of the device over a year old forcing planned obsolescence.
Fixed that for ya...your welcome.
>>53619180
What the fuck did I just read.
Do retards even understand what is wrong with this?
I hope you emailed these "devs" about how their lies are causing information to be falsely given.

You really sound like the kind of idiot who thinks way too highly of his phone OS choice. The horseshoe opposite of the Apple fanbaby.
>>53622401
And that is completely unrelated to the point? I never said what water resistance they have disappeared.
>>53620709
Android has a system for passing content between applications though.
Snake oil.
>>53622496
>You really sound like the kind of idiot who thinks way too highly of his phone OS choice. The horseshoe opposite of the Apple fanbaby.
I have a used s4. I don't give two shits about Android. It's just obnoxious to watch people pound their chest about what Apple is doing when other companies do the actual innovations years before Apple. Savy marketing does not innovation make.
>>53622504
That's true, if that app has the permission to do so. It would be ridiculous for a photo editing app to not be able to access pictures taken with your camera app.
>>53622521
>Somebody said an apple phone had imperfect water resistance, time to poorly quote an article repeatedly and get really mad about Apple "stealing innovation" for no reason, while projecting a wholly unwarranted air of superiority
I'm pretty fucking convinced you're just trolling at this point.
>>53622611
Welcome to /g/ where the fanboys aren't real and the specs don't matter
>>53622546
No, not permissions like that. Intents can be used to offer data to other applications.
It's the entire reason why when you click the share button you get a big list of apps while on iPhones you only get what they allow you to use.
>>53622642
There's been support for third party apps to share since ios8 btw
>>53620070
android doesn't let you do this either. both OS's require you to root/jailbreak in order to do this.
Have you tried checking a wifi password you have saved in your settings? You literally can't do this on android unless you root the phone
>>53622268
water resistant is not the same thing as water proof you fucking idiot
>>53622802
No, Android let's your browse the filesystem without root. You require root to access.. The root filesystem!
>>53622682
Sharing is just one example though.
If you click a link in an app and get a list of browsers you can open the link in, that's due to Intents.
If you click Edit in your image viewer and you get a list of image editors you can load to edit that image, that's due to Intents.
>>53622802
Fair enough. You don't have permissions for that access.
Literally identical to being a user on a Linux system.
On the other hand iOS users don't even have basic file system access.
>>53619180
But CF.lumen has done this better than flux for years.
>>53618840
>jailbreak tweak and on android
That means it was a 3rd partyapp, this is a builtin app that no other mOS has
>>>53618840
It's been a setting in Android ROMs for quite some time now. I've had it since at least last summer?
>>53623079

you would though.
or is the joke here that you don't know what's good for you?
>>53623154
It annoys me when lights are off, I fiddle with all of my electronics to have about the same colour temperature and colour pallet.
It's preferance, and having my temperature squewed would make me throw the fucking device in the wall.
>>53623120
... CM is a (fork/distribution) of Android, effectively a separate mOS from AOSP. Nothing like a jailbreak. (This phone in particular shipped with CM)
It would be like a jailbreak if I needed root, but I don't. It just kinda does it's thing once activated.
Vanilla android is pretty meh.
>>53623257
You'd be suprised just how little difference there is, proper screen filtering is the only thing I miss from root
>>53623166
but before bed you would only be looking at one device, and it'd only be active at night (or more specifically, before bed)...
>>53623302
who cares, I can see difference, it annoys me.
Do you not understanc concept of annoying?
>>53620886
It does have NFC, but its limited to Apple pay.
