Dealers and black markets for Gay Phone fans are losing money! Gay Phone Inc has TOO MUCH STOCKS and buying interest and affability are too poor, hence lots of access stocks everywhere, prices and profits goes DOWN instead of Up.

There is next to NO WAITING Time if you have the money and silliness to buy. There is no Q to buy! There is No Profits to Trade! Very different from ALL the Previous Gay Phone models.

黄牛哭晕! iPhone 8/8 Plus备货太足随便买
2017年09月16日06:30 快科技 我有话说(180人参与) 收藏本文

  昨天下午15:01分,iPhone 8系列手机开放购买,但是否真的像之前黄牛所说的那样,买不到呢?
我们选择是苹果官网和天猫Apple Store官方旗舰店这两个官方渠道。结果让人大跌眼镜。

  在选择了苹果官网和天猫Apple Store官方旗舰店这两个官方渠道进行购买。结果让人大跌眼镜。

  不知道是苹果备货太足,还是国人购买热情不高,无论是苹果还是天猫Apple Store官方旗舰店,都能轻松买到。

  在15:01分进入苹果官网之后,很容易就买到了一款iPhone 8 Plus 256GB金色版,使用支付宝完成付款后,订单随即生成,预计9月22日当天就能到货。

  同时在苹果官网、天猫Apple Store官方旗舰店也很容易买到了iPhone 8 Plus 64GB、256GB版。

  目前,iPhone 8三款配色、两个容量全系均显示9月22日当天到货。iPhone 8 Plus银色、深空灰所有版本均可在1-2周内到货,只有iPhone 8 Plus 256GB金色需要3-4周。

  看来,这次黄牛要哭了。。。

  据猜测,iPhone 8 Plus尽管配置升级,但外观变化不大,并未调起大家的换机欲望,很多人还在等待iPhone X。

I suspect that the black marketers will be targeting the iPhone X. It will be the most expensive & in short supply.

Chinese customers are very status conscious & if one is going to get an expensive phone, they will go for the latest & greatest. The more exclusive, the more attractive to them.

It's because jealous ppl can't afford it. Typical iPhone owner earns more than those rabid Android fanboys

my other nick is juicefruitnlive.

The only reason I can see why people need more than one nick is to give the illusion of support in a political discussion.

Since this is a thread on handphones what is the point of bringing in that character scroball(clone):confused:

Or maybe its the school holidays & some kids have some free time?
I don't normally try to ferret out these dubious nicks but am puzzled why a simple discussion on phones have become personal:confused:

Ask android users what they really think of their phones:confused:

Obviously some chose to ignore the fiery experiences of those who bought the Samsung Note 7 or all the problems with android. These are only a few examples of shoddy hardware & software out there.

It has been reported that chinese android phones are spying on their owners.


I am getting a new iPhone because nowadays because internet phone banking, trading online, online payment,.... has become a reality and I trust Apple more than the companies selling the android phones.


https://www.wired.com/2017/03/good-news-androids-huge-security-problem-getting-less-huge/


Good News: Android’s Huge Security Problem Is Getting Less Huge


First, the good news: Half of all Android devices have gotten fairly recent security updates, patching the hackable flaws that leave users vulnerable to digital crime and espionage. The bad news? The other half hasn't.

In an annual report on the security of the world's 1.4 billion Android devices that Google released today, the company touts the ever-improving state of Android security. Less malware winds up in its Google Play store, devices are better encrypted, and more hackers than ever report Android bugs to Google in exchange for so-called "bug bounties." But Google has also released solid data for the first time on Android's most serious nagging security problem: The challenge of getting dozens of manufacturers and hundreds of carriers around the world to cooperate on regularly patching Android phones and tablets. On that point, the company argues that a 50 percent annual patching rate beats where it's been in the past—but it's still not remotely good enough.

"We're proud of the fact that half of devices received an update in 2016, but that's not sufficient," says Adrian Ludwig, Google's director of Android Security. "We're making the number available, and we think it's an indication of good progress. It doesn't mean we're done."

Insecure Ecosystem

While half of Android devices going unpatched in 2016 represents a glaring security problem, Ludwig says it's nonetheless a milestone; he estimates that twice as many people installed an Android patch in 2016 as did in 2015. And he suggested that number could reach 75 percent in 2017, though he stopped short of describing that increase as an official goal.

Those patching statistics are a mixed bag, says Josh Drake, the researcher for security firm Zimperium, who in 2015 found the so-called Stagefright vulnerability that allowed the takeover of Android phones with only a text message. "If this is really a doubling, that's great," Drake says. "But fifty percent is a terrible number."

When it comes to software upgrades for new features and security patches, Google has long struggled to get anywhere near the high rate of software update adoption that Apple's iOS boasts. Less than three percent of Android phones run the operating system's latest version, Nougat, while nearly 80 percent of iOS devices run Apple's latest version, iOS 10. And Nougat officially launched three weeks before iOS 10.

If Google's patching rate has in fact doubled, that represents an "incredibly positive" improvement, says Rich Smith, head of R&D at the mobile authentication security firm Duo. But he says Google's new data also further illustrates how starkly Android devices have lagged in security updates. The fact that half of devices received an update sometime in 2016 doesn't mean they've received one at all recently, he points out. "When exactly you got the patch can be the difference between being protected from trivial things or really critical things," Smith says.

Smith points to the well-publicized attack on Android phones known as Quadrooter, revealed in the summer of 2016. According to Duo's own data, the security flaws that attack exploited devices have only been patched in about 40 percent of phones in which Duo's authentication app is installed—and that's a more business-focused, North American collection of users than the overall Android user base Google's report measures. "This is an issue that was shouted from the rooftops, the world is on fire, and those updates still haven't happened," Smith says.

Fragment Nation

Android's biggest hurdle to better patching remains the byzantine fragmentation of its operating system. Samsung alone offers 13 models, sold by 200 different carriers, each of which customizes its operating system to different degrees. That results in close to 1,500 variations of every version of the software, says Samsung's mobile security director Henry Lee. "It might seem like we just receive a patch from Google and apply it, but it's actually not that simple," he says. About 60 percent of Samsung users received an update in 2016, Lee says, but about 15 percent use old, unsupported versions of Android, and other 15 percent simply ignore the updates.

Still, thanks to Samsung's market dominance, those percentages result in big numbers. Samsung security updates now reach 400 million devices, spread across hundreds of global carriers. That's a sizable chunk of the just over 1.4 billion total Android users.

The improvement over 2015 shows that some of Google's efforts are working. Google and several of its manufacturing partners, including Samsung and LG, have started pushing out monthly security-specific updates for Android devices that run versions as old as 2013's KitKat. Android's Ludwig says Google has worked to make its updates more seamless and smaller in size. It's pressured carriers to take patching more seriously, and convinced many of them not to count software updates against user data plans. Google also developed so-called "A/B updates" that allow businesses to try out new software, and easily roll it back if it causes compatibility issues with the any critical enterprise software.

Google's Ludwig also emphasizes that Android's security has improved in other important ways. Play Store filters catch more malware than ever, he points out, preventing malicious apps from infecting users' devices. Just .71 percent of users had any sort of malware on their phone in the fourth quarter of 2016, according to Google's report. And while that's up from the half a percent of infected users a year before, the numbers were far better when users only downloaded apps from the Play store: Just .05 percent of those phones were infected with malware in the fourth quarter of 2016, down from .15 percent the year before. (A good reminder to never download software outside of Google Play.)

As optimistic as those malware numbers may seem, they don't account for lower-volume, targeted hacks against sensitive victims. WikiLeaks' recent release of secret CIA files, for instance, revealed dozens of years-old Android hacking techniques no doubt used to stealthily spy on small numbers of individuals not accounted for in Google's statistics. Google declined to comment on whether or when the flaws those CIA hacking techniques exploited might have been fixed.

Which gets back to that original problem. Whether or not Google patches the Vault 7 flaws—or plenty of others hiding in its smartphones' code—as many as half of Android users will still remain as vulnerable as ever.

Poor turnout for iPhone 8 ahead of X model
Published: 11:43 am, Saturday, 23 September 2017

The launch of the iPhone 8 has received less fanfare than its predecessors as fans hold out for the iPhone X

Apple's launch of the iPhone 8 has kicked off with less fanfare than new models in previous years in the US, Australia, Asia and Britain, as fans held out for the premium iPhone X, due out in early November.

In San Francisco's Union Square, 80km from Apple's Cupertino headquarters, just 80 people were lined up at the company's flagship store, a sharp contrast to years past when lines stretched for blocks when new products were released.


In Australia, hundreds of people usually gather at Apple's Sydney city store, with queues winding down George Street in the central business district. But there were fewer than 30 people lining up before the store opened on Friday.

Apple's flagship store in London's Regent Street also experienced a slim turnout, according to several British newspapers.

The weak turnout for the latest iPhone has partly been due to poor reviews.

Mazen Kourouche, who was first in queue in Sydney so he could buy and review the product on YouTube, said there were modest refinements.

'(It) is pretty similar to the iPhone 7 but it shoots 4k 60 frames per second and it's got a new glass back instead of the metal which is apparently more durable,' he sais. 'There aren't too many new features to this one.'

In China, a loyal Apple customer said the improved camera was one of the reasons she had bought the new device.

In San Francisco, customers waiting in line were evenly split between those interested in the iPhone 8 and those looking to buy the Apple Watch Series 3. The latest watch includes standalone cellular data connectivity for the first time, meaning it can be used to make phone calls without an iPhone nearby.

Chayce O'Neal, 27, said he had come to buy the new watch and wasn't discouraged by reviews that mentioned connectivity problems. But he was skipping the iPhone 8 and holding out for the iPhone X.

'I like being on top of the cutting edge of technology,' he said.

Indifferent reviews of the iPhone 8, which comes 10 years after Apple released the first version of the revolutionary phone, drove down shares of the company to near two-month lows of $US152.75 on Thursday, as investors worried pre-orders for the device had come in well below previous launches.

The iPhone 8 will only cater to those who want a new version but do not want to pay a hefty $US999 ($A1,254) for the iPhone X, said iTWire.com's technology editor Alex Zaharov-Reutt.

Speaking to CNBC, Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook said the Apple Watch with cellular data service is 'sold out in so many places around the world' and iPhone 8 models were also sold out. He did not specify the locations he was referring to.
