overview for FragmentedChicken

Apple was waiting for a production implementation of the specification which was published in December. That means they're the ones delaying the launch.

The only thing holding back Google's Find My Device network now is Apple in c/android@lemdro.id

Assistant doesn’t log messages or summaries, and the interactions aren’t used to train the Large Language Model (LLM).

If you're still fine using your S8 by all means, no reason to upgrade. The point I was trying to make was that the storage issue was misinformation.

What it boiled down to was two main things: the device showing the advertised storage converted from GB to GiB but displayed as GB, and users not granting the proper permission for the Device Care causing storage taken up by apps to be lumped into the system storage. Samsung later updated devices so users wouldn't be confused.

Both materials feel cool to the touch when initially held. I'd say the titanium is a bit more grippier which might be relevant if you like to use your phone without a case.

The colours are matched more on the back and frame for the S24/+ compared to the S24U.

One UI doesn't use that much more space compared to other skins if you judge by the size of the super partition. Unfortunately, ArsTechnica jumped the gun on the topic without doing proper research.

I'll edit this comment later with a list of pre-installed apps on the US unlocked model later.

In general, the bootloader of US and Canadian models can't be unlocked. You can with other regional variants, regardless of Snapdragon or Exynos.

We'll be taking a bunch of photos later today, and I have my S23U with me to compare with. I took a quick shot with 10x on both devices, and at a glance the S24U is sharper.
