  Overpriced garbage

  
  This also applies to anything Apple has ever released.

  Well, looks like dat Wells Fargo downgrade occurred after the iPhone 7 release because they wanted to get in on the dip to 103. The stock's at $115.50 now. Should have bought at the time, but I was hoping it would drop more... Ohhh well

  Love that polite yet devastatingly savage cough. Too bad the price is ridiculous in canadian $, and also that HTC puts them together. Gonna pass on that one since my nexus 6 is running android 7 fine and does everything I want it to.

  I know, right? It was too good.
  
  They made fun of Apple's wannabe-self-important-sounding fancy colour names, too.
  "Jet black"? "Rose gold"?

  [s]Now we just need Much Gold.[/s] I'll take the quite black one, thanks.
  
  The price increase over the traditionally lower Nexus pricing is disappointing, but unfortunately, this was done to appease the carriers and retailers. They wouldn't support this phone if it were cheap and fewer people would then buy it, which is kind of backwards, but that's how it is. Price in CAD is especially disturbing, but then the iPhone costs the same amount, so I might as well get the Pixel. It's time to retire my 4 year old Nexus 4.

  The Pixel is looking pretty good right now, probably won't jump on it till a few months after release though.
  
  "Unlimited photos" is kinda iffy, unless they make the phone only retain a thumbnail image of the upload after XX days it's still going to be the same as always
  

  ** Unlimited backups for photos and videos taken with your Pixel. Requires Google account. Data rates may apply.

  
  
  Battery usage is useless as ever too, this is basically saying "oh if you don't use the screen and don't use anything that needs internet it'll last this long"
  

  † Battery use statistics are approximate and represent a mixed use of talk, standby, web browsing, and other features, according to an average user profile as defined by Google. Uses that involve an active display or data usage will use battery more quickly, actual results may vary. Charging rates are based on use of the included USB Type-C™ 18W charger.

  
  
  Apple's decision on removing the headphone jack on the iPhone 7 is pretty dumb since wireless headphones are not that big yet, but there are decent products like Bragi out there.

  Actually, the Pixel automatically frees up storage by uploading them to Google and removing the local copies after a certain period. I think there are a few options for behaviours on how it does that. And the best thing about the unlimited storage feature is that your photos are not re-compressed, unlike what non-Pixel users get. Not to mention being able to store 4K videos, which take up space fast. Without a Pixel, you have two modes for uploading photos: Original quality, which limits you to 5 GB for free or whatever storage option you are paying for, or unlimited (up to 16 MP resolution) where your photos are re-compressed for efficiency, which degrades the quality slightly.
  
  Bluethooth audio sucks, unless you support aptX, which the iPhone does not. Amusingly, the DAC in the headphone lightning adapter is a downgrade from the DAC in the 6S. So even wired audio quality be a downgrade, unless you opt for native lightning based headphones (which would be lame, as you could only use them with your iPhone...)

  ...and when you thought Apple couldn't suck even more than they did with the iPhone, you got this:

  They finally redesigned the MacBook Pro after all these years . . . and its "main feature" is this shitty touch bar that lets you enter emojis and other pointless stuff. Even the loyal Apple fanboys are disappointed. And while they kept the headphone jack in this one, they removed the SD card slot. As a photographer, I'd be pretty annoyed.
  
  ...all while Microsoft unveiled the Surface Studio (and updated Surface Book) the day prior:

  Holy shit, this thing looks hot. Some in the media are calling it "an iMac from the future," which is kind of ironic.
