You'd think so.I like their articles on Apple Music, it's horrible, and they can't say anything bad about it.

That's not a fast charge though, it'll probably take 4 hours to charge the phone with that charger, you need something like this http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Char...96&sr=1-2-spell&keywords=cheotech+fast+charer also get the adapter with it since it needs an 18watt qc2.0 one.
I think there are many, many of us who are going to do this.Pre-ordered an S7 Edge in black. This is going to upgrade my Galaxy S4 so I have a feeling I'm in for a treat. :thumbsup:
This "article" of his is gold.

A quick note on Rene: he's definitely an Apple cheerleader, but don't dismiss him out of hand. He does have some good explanations as to why Apple does what it does, even if you don't like them.
It's...true, though.
Whats true? That Rene prefers the layout of the holes on an iPhone than on an Android phone?
Apple does sweat the little details that Samsung doesn't seem to as far as industrial design.
I'm not sure how much sweat it takes to make the holes line up on the bottom of a phone if you have humungious bezels top and bottom, that kind of gives you lots of space to work with.
Once again, look at the Huawei Mate 8. I'm not defending Apple's practice (they'll cut corners until they feel the pressure to start 'innovating'), but I'll call bull on those that see no wrong in Apple's ways. Let's not nitpick hole alignment and let's address the two gigantic elephants in the room...why aren't you guys harping on the bezels? The two most obvious, glaring, apparent flaw in industrial design and the sheeps will simply utter that it's to accommodate the touch ID bullshit. If everyone in android land can implement ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and reduce the bezel footprint with a measly fraction of the R&D compare to Apple, are you to tell me that Apple hasn't figure that out? We've been saying it all along, it's not innovation until Apple start doing it.I just wonder how realistic it is for Apple to shrink the overall footprint. Part of why it has that chin is that the Touch ID button is designed to reflect the size of a fingertip... and it's not as if Apple's going to use a Samsung-style rectangular button. And Apple probably isn't going to use a curved display to cut back on the bezel.
I do have to commend Samsung on cramming a big screen into a relatively small space (although I'd say LG did that first with the G3). Hopefully, it's comfortable to hold. I just wonder whether it's realistic for Apple or others to follow suit.

Unfounded and unsubstantiated. Stupidest thing I've heard today...and it's only 7am.The Mate 8 has the finger printer sensor on the back, which in itself is a big design and usability compromise. Finger print sensors should be on the front, below the screen.

*shakes fist*
On a serious note, after using a Nexus 6P, it's clear the back is a really stupid place to put a finger print sensor. It's a huge design flaw since you can't then unlock the phone when it's lying on a surface.
yes you can, you just need to use the pin code
OH NOESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs
the back is the better place for it IMO
also the back is also perfect for the volume buttons
I miss them from my G3
Everyone but Apple already has more modern looking flagships with less bevel.
And for Apple it would be easy- the huge top bezel does NOTHING (doesn't even have a front facing speaker in it) so there is half the problem. For the bottom move the finger print reader to the power button (like Nextbit does) and boom that can be shrunk too. Add on a 1080p or better OLED and OIS on both models and suddenly Apple has a modern smartphone. The only reason Apple hasn't done that yet is because they don't have to, and they have to give people a reason to buy the iPhone 7 and 7s.
Everything seems hard for Apple until they do the obvious stuff and then its not hard anymore, its magic.
