News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Hi, the author is here. Thanks for the feedback.

1. If I wanted to make a list of complaints about the iPhone; I wouldn't. There are tons of them.

2. Even if I decide to do that, I wouldn't sign a 2-year contract and purchase an AU$1800 device. At my company, we had 20+ devices to test apps we develop. I could've just used one of them. OR I could have used all the iPhones we had (4, 5, 6, 7, X) and make a list of complaints about each of them individually. I was really excited when I bought it.

3. This is exactly what my article is about. It is a well-engineered phone with nice software that lacks testing in "real-world scenarios" and has a poor user experience. I'm aware of the sensors. I work with them on a regular basis. To put the phone in your pocket, you have to hold it first and you are touching the screen. If you own an iPhone, just make a call, place it on a table, lock the screen, and randomly tap on the screen and tell me what happens. During a phone call, I would expect the screen to be locked, no matter what.

4. Can you show where/when my second point (disabling shutter-sound) is contradicted? I'm not talking about muting the phone. My point is about disabling the shutter sound without changing the top-level volume of the device. It is impossible. You have to silence the device.

5. I checked this one and it doesn't happen on Galaxy devices either. Apparently, this is a functionality that changed with recent smartphones. In the past, even if you turn off the device the alarm would work. I guess I haven't been in a situation to test this with my Galaxy device in a long time.

6. English is not my native language, sorry about the grammar.

I am super excited to learn more about him and the case.

@hocaoglv Sorry I misunderstood this part. This tape really annoyed me.

I disagree with your last sentence. Because of the problem in Syria our borders are not secure and Turkey is trying to solve this problem diplomatically for a year.

Recently ISID threatened Turkey to attack Sulaiman Sah and after that government started to think about a military attack to that area.

You can't just say "they want to attack Syria to strength Erdogan's position."

I agree. Chrome doesn't allow you do paste it, you have to type it. I believe they disable it soon too.

And after that Hackers will start telling people do open their Concole in Developer Tools and paste the code there. I believe many people will do.

I don't understand why such an old article came here again.

The code will be compiled to JS, I don't think it is gonna make difference which browser you use.

Good question! I don't know big magazines have whether paid app or free app. I guess mostly they publish paid app and that's why he focused on it. Since magazines want to make money, the cost for app is close to profit and he complains this situation.
