Demand for Apple products is so inelastic that they could price their XS Max over $2000 and they'd still sell like hotcakes.

No it wouldn't.

Yes, it would. Studies already prove that iPhone sales are extremely inelastic meaning that large increases in price translates to small drops in sales. That's just Econ 101.

Apple is currently lowering their shipping estimates for the 2018 iPhones due to lower than expected sales. This after they announced that they'll no longer report iPhone unit sales in their quarterly earnings (sales have been flat for like 3 years now).

Apple is not immune to currently saturated smartphone market.

You guys are either young, have really special Gamestops or are absolutely full of shit.

2005-2012 Gamestop was notorious for trying to sell you on pre ordering the next big game. There were tons of articles and reports about how they were basically forced to do this because their performance was specifically tied to their ability to sell pre orders.

^Confirm.

I haven't been in one in like 7 years, but they used to tell me that I "wouldn't" be able to get big ticket games unless I preordered. It's one thing to casually ask if I want to preorder, but some stores would nag you during the transaction process.

That's not even the worst part, which was (is?) their process of selling opened games as new.

My mother has a 2015 535i XDrive. I thought it was cute when she called me several weeks back asking what wheels drive the car since there was some wintry weather.

She's like most owners - all they care about is the badge. Engine displacement? Turbo or N/A? Max torque and HP? FWD/RWD/AWD? May as well be speaking Latin.

I don't think I've ever seen a woman driving a Miata. I'll see a woman driving an F-150 before I see one in a Miata.

Crossover SUVs (any make) rank as #1 to me. If I see a man driving one, that's cool - he's just driving his wife's car.

What memory size?

128 GB. Didn't see a reason to pay more when it has an SD card slot.

You'd also get a bump in RAM from 6GB to 8GB. I wonder how much of a difference that makes though.

Anyway, $799 for a Note 9 is a good deal. I'm waiting for the S10+.

PS4: ~345k (up 62% year over year)
Switch: ~260k (down 12%)
XBO: ~215k (up 64%)
3DS: down 45%

Of course worldwide sales matter more than NPD, but PS4 has taken the lead in every major country/region except Japan.

PS4 killing it as usual. Nice to see XBO make some gains too.

if you understand why it costs $850 and still think it's worth it, go for it. make sure you can answer the questions (and the answer to the questions is to your satisfaction): what is the crystal made of, what type of movement is it, does it hack, does it hand wind, what is the accuracy of the movement, what is the case made from, etc

if you can't answer those questions, then i would say no, don't buy the watch.

what is the crystal made of,
hardlex not sapphire

what type of movement is it,
a quartz one

does it hack, does it hand wind,
its quartz

what is the accuracy of the movement,
more accurate than a mechanical

what is the case made from, etc
stainless steel. strap is rubber

Wow, so why does it cost $850? It doesn't even look all that good either.

Hillary would only guarantee a 2nd term for Trump. If she runs and the Dems are stupid enough to nominate her, then this country deserves another 4 years of Trump.

The odds are good, that the dems will make a bad decision.

Wasn't it Einstein that said insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result? The Dems really are dumb enough to nominate her and will act surprised when she loses.

So many other good candidates I'd gladly vote for. My goodness, don't waste your chances on freaking Hillary.

Doesn't happen to mine. The battery drop is pretty linear.

You might have a rogue app somewhere that's sapping your battery.

It's STILL happening even after I closed all apps and restarted the phone. Wish I knew how to pinpoint the cause of this.

If it is a rogue app, I would comb through each one under Settings > Apps to see if something is using excess battery power. I've cleaned up a lot of background apps that way (e.g., Google Play services) and my battery has benefitted as a result. Could also use device maintenance > battery to see if anything looks weird or download any number of battery efficiency apps (e.g., greenify).

Over how much time does the battery drop from full to 30%? S7 isn't that old so it seems unnatural, but it could very well be just a bad battery.

Ok so I left my note 5 at home when I went to work, with the battery at like 50% or so?

I come home in the evening and it dropped to 6% just from being on standby!

At first I thought leaving the YouTube app active was causing it so I closed it along with all the other apps but the drain still happened regardless.

Is anything running in the background? Run any battery health diagnostics? Losing that much charge on standby is unnatural.

Might need a battery replacement if apps aren't the issue.
