A youTube phone review channel. But the ONLY metric tested or considered is "how well can this phone take photos and videos of ants?"
Presented without ever once recognizing this might not be exactly a typical concern.
* The famous "queen in the tube" test to see how it handles photos through curved glass.
* Analysis of how well the form factor lets you get close to the subject.
* The fan favorite? "ant on the lens" test.
The goal? Phone manufactures will notice and be ... molded.
I phone air has no macro lens. So it can't photograph ants as well. I'd need to carry one of those clip ons again.
It's a nice size.
Some nutritionists worked very hard to design an inexpensive, easy to make, pizza that could fit into school lunch budgets which are absurdly small in the US. (What is wrong with us? Why do we hate the concept of "feeding hungry children." Anyway.)
Part of the design requirements is that everything is the same. No "corner slices" no nicest bit to squabble over.
So we squabbled over "The Bubble" --which I thought was awful. It was hollow! All the cheese would slide off.
The bubble teaches an important life lesson.
Thinking about it from the perspective of someone who didn't go through this stuff it must sound... crazy.
But across the whole country... same pizza. At least "pizza day" wasn't national and on the same day nation wide.
But it was on the same day across the city.
It's middle school in the 90s or 80s and it's PIZZA DAY. Yay!
One of the square slices behind the counter has a bubble. The dough has somehow acquired an air pocket. It's huge. The size of a tennis ball.
Everyone is talking about "The Bubble"
How do you feel about the bubble?
@paulc The 17 I think?
The "pro" since I do want all the cameras but the small one since I hate how big all of them are.
It's just a little bigger than my 15 pro (also the small one)
I really loved the iphone SE it was the perfect size although the camera was just "fine" I had to use lenses with it.
I no longer need to have a pocket full of lenses just to live.
Yes.

"Cars" which are now all "light trucks" whatever that means are so ugly, joyless, and gross.
At least the big boats of the 50s had exuberant colors like candy and hoods you could sit on ... and tops that went down. They were social cars. Big but ... not like a tank.
Everything is gray, bloated, aggressive but somehow also made of plastic. So it's lacks even the charm of a jeep or tank.
I have done this in the past... Well I happened to have a queen I'd found in my purse in a test tube. So I did a little photo-shot with her at the apple store.
I would be perfectly fine with a slightly thicker or heavier phone if it had more battery life. It's so silly that you need those power bricks, just one more thing to charge. I'm sick of charging things.
Give me eink options and fat batteries and make it last two days.
I could go for a tall skinny phone. Like a paint stick. very chic
I never use a case. It makes the phone too wide to hold and I drop it more. I kind of hate cases. Especially with how wide phones have become.
#Smartphones should be:
I will never be caught dead with a phablet not now not ever.
there’s no way I’m taking a downgrade on macro photography and *not* getting in the pro so I won’t be getting a new phone
when buying a new phone, these are the most important things to consider in order :
1. how well can a photograph ants?
2. size (not too big)
3. compatibility
4. How well can it display photos of ants?
One of the reasons I just can’t bring myself to get that new iPhone? Well I would be embarrassed to carry it around. It sticks out a little bit. It’s a little bigger and has that … unseemly inappropriate bulge.
It might’ve been wise for them to have just released some new colorways the similar form factor to the older phones.
I can’t tell why it needs to bulge out like that. It’s not like they’ve improved the macro camera.
is this something that appeals to men is that why I don’t get it?
they are gradually becoming more practical obviously there will always be trade-offs but part of why you go to the E ink is so you can stop thinking about charging your phone —-and just stop thinking about your phone in general
