• High amplitude vibrations cause problems for cameras' gyroscopes

    From NewsKrawler@21:1/5 to All on Sun Sep 12 12:16:26 2021
    High amplitude vibrations cause problems for the cameras' gyroscopes https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/11/22668294/motorcycle-vibrations-damage-iphone-camera-apple

    Long-term direct exposure to high-amplitude vibrations within certain
    frequency ranges degrades the performance of Apple iPhone optical image stabilization (OIS).1 and Apple closed-loop autofocus (AF).2 which leads to reduced image quality for photos and videos.

    As a result you shouldn't expose your iPhone to high-amplitude vibrations.

    easily debunked myth.

    apple devices are not overpriced. if they were, they would not sell
    very many.

    apple devices are competitively priced for similar specs and many times
    cheaper than the alternatives.

    1. Why would it only be Apple?
    Just as in batteries, *Apple _chooses_ to use cheap iPhone components*. <https://www.macrumors.com/2021/09/10/iphone-camera-vibration-damage-motorcyles/>

    2. Is it a significant issue?
    According to XDADevelopers, the expensive iPhone is _permanently_ borked. <https://www.xda-developers.com/apple-warns-motorcycle-engines-can-damage-iphone-cameras/>

    3. Whom do you blame? Harley Davidson?
    Maybe, but then why haven't the apologists like Savageduck,
    Jolly Roger, nospam, Wade Garrett, et. al yet found any official
    statements from the other phone OEMs yet? Why only Apple?

    4. Why is it the journalists' fault for reporting on an Apple Support Doc? It's not. *The apologists will always _blame_ anyone but Apple.*
    It's what apologists do to deflect poor iPhone quality evidence.
    (Check out the cheap batteries Apple _chose_ to put in the iPhone 12!) <https://www.pcmag.com/news/report-iphone-12-to-use-smaller-cheaper-battery>

    For apologists, the most convenient one to blame is the messenger itself.

    And yet, in this case, the messenger _is_ Apple! <https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212803>

    Notice Apple and apologists alike, blame everyone but Apple for all
    Apple's flaws (e.g., the battery chemistry is the _same_ in iPads!).

    5. Should bikers use rigid mounts?
    Dampening mounts to protect against poor quality iPhones do exist. <https://www.tomsguide.com/news/apple-just-issued-iphone-warning-this-could-wreck-your-camera>

    In summary, at the moment, it's just iPhones (to own an iPhone is to live in fear) but luckily many people who own iPhones have AppleCare (again, because to own an iPhone is to live in fear) which is replacing them under warranty.

    Given Apple always blames everyone else for their poor design choices, I'm sure the resident apologists are feverishly seeking official statements from other OEMs (probably even scouring Reddit for anecdotal evidence) so that they too can blame everyone but Apple for Apple's poor design choices.

    Shoot, that's like taking a girl wearing an evening dress, diamonds, a
    tiara and long white gloves to the Pig 'n Pit Roadside Barbecue
    restaurant just off County Road #7 in rural south Georgia.

    The problem here is clearly the iPhone is built like a piece of shit.
    Apple cheaps out in _many_ ways, and they get cheaper every year.

    Why can't you bring your iPhone along with you on your daily commute?

    An example is the crappy battery technology in the iPhone 12.
    Another example is the loss of fundamental components in the iPhone 12.

    Unless the apologists can find any other smartphone OEM making these
    statements like Apple did becuase of rampant failures in cameras,
    we're going to have to agree that it's ONLY APPLE who has this problem.

    We already know Apple is almost _never_ in the top ten of camera output.
    The real question is why doesn't Apple design more robust cameras?

    as there is for android.

    in fact, there is more malware for android than for any other operating

    what's really crazy is the primary distribution method for android

    The official Google Play Store has been identified as the primary
    source of malware installs on Android devices in a recent academic
    study ‹ considered the largest one of its kind carried out to date.

    unfortunately, a significant number of android devices will never be
    patched.



    Whatever happened to those Crapple fan bois who used to say "Crapple
    can't be hacked"?

    straw man.

    what they actually said was that it's vastly more difficult to hack mac
    and ios, for several reasons.

    it's not impossible, because nothing is 100% secure.

    Nobody in high tech spends LESS than Apple in R&D nor more in Marketing!

    LOL brave words, you will get "nospam" the troll giving you a serve for
    that.

    he's posted that drivel before. both of you failed grade school math.

    It's well known, for decades, Apple is all MARKETING and almost no R&D. However, apologists from Savageduck to nospam, all _hate_ facts about Apple.

    Why?
    I don't know why.

    But the fact they always deny facts about Apple implies they hate Apple.
    (Apple lied to them because they _believed_ only the advertising bullshit.)

    FACTS:
    *Apple Is Spending Dramatically Below Peers on Innovation*
    <https://www.barrons.com/articles/apple-innovation-research-development-acquisitions-cash-flow-buybacks-51597786424>

    *Apple R&D spending is anemic compared to rivals' big budgets*
    <https://www.cultofmac.com/720505/apple-rd-spending-2020-compared-to-google-microsoft/>

    *Apple spends less on research & development than they advertise*
    <https://www.ibtimes.com/why-apple-inc-spends-less-research-development-you-think-1954667>

    Want more?
    The facts are always _easy_ to prove.

    Apologists _hate_ facts about Apple.
    As with cultists, facts destroy the apologists' imaginary belief systems.

    in fact, there is more malware for android than for any other operating system, but why let facts get in the way of a very poor attempt at
    trolling.

    *Everyone but nospam is aware that Android is far more secure than iOS.* <https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2021/03/16/iphone-12-pro-max-and-iphone-13-not-more-secure-than-google-and-samsung-android-warns-cyber-billionaire/>

    How is iOS more secure when iOS doesn't even allow the real Tor browser?
    How is iOS more secure when iOS doesn't even allow GPS spoofing defaults?
    How is iOS more secure when you _must_ have a login to the mother ship?
    How is iOS more secure when hackers stopped accepting zero-day bugs?
    How is iOS more secure when you can't add a FOSS firewall to block access?
    How is iOS more secure when _every_ app has your AppleID inside of it?
    How is iOS more secure when you're required to use WebKit (which is a POS)? (this list of well-known iOS insecurities can go on virtually forever)

    The most damning evidence (there are _many_ references proving this!),
    is that Apple has _never_ even once sufficiently tested iOS (never!)
    "Large portions of iOS code were not touched for years" <https://onezero.medium.com/is-android-getting-safer-than-ios-4a2ca6f359d3>

    The fact that iOS is inherently less secure than Android is known to all but these apologists like nospam who only know what Apple feeds him to believe.

    Did you ever notice how vastly many unexpected security holes force Apple to suddenly update iOS when Apple just released it that very same day!

    The iOS release clusterfuck is the most sordid set of bugs you've ever seen. Did you ever notice Apple _never_ is the one who _found_ the huge holes?

    The only place iOS is more secure than Android is in Apple advertisements.
