Iphone X Outperforms Samsung Galaxy Note 9 In Benchmark Result

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 device is finally out, and as it is a flagship device, the Galaxy Note 9 will be compared with other flagship devices to see if it out-performs or under-performs.

According to benchmark results from Tom's Guide, the iPhone X outperformed the Galaxy Note 9. However, it is worth you know that the phone used in this test is the Galaxy Note 9 that runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset (trimmed down version) and not the bigger one which is powered by Exynos 9810.

Everyday More Complaints Keep Trailing The New Sets Of Iphones!!!

Apple's new set of iPhones are exactly what most iPhone lovers had hoped for after last years's launch of the iPhone X. As you all know, Apple always try to get things done in a unique way so as to come out top on the competition. The only perkara is that when they get it wrong, they also get the perkara uniquely wrong.

So many complaints have trailed the new sets of iPhones. Take for example the iPhone XS and XS Max, the most expensive set of iPhones ever built is said to be having weak WiFi and network signal strength.

Considering the price, Apple users were expecting more peace of mind from this piece of gadget.


A tear down of the new iPhone XS Max 256GB which is sold by Apple for $1,249 in the United States is said to be far worth less than the amount its been sold.

According to a research carried out by TechInsights, while estimating and looking into each cost part on the iPhone XS Max, the results sees Apple charging $1,249 for a device that the overall production costs just $443. That's almost three times the cost of production!

Though the selesai cost of production involves research, development and marketing, the hefty price tag can't still be justified.

 The display on the iPhone XS Max, a 6.5-inch OLED panel which is the largest display ever used on an iPhone costs $80.50. The iPhone XS Max display is an upgrade from last years iPhone X 5.8-inch display which costs just $77.27. Now thats just a $3 difference despite the obvious difference between the two.

Another perkara associated with the new set of iPhones is the charging time when using wired charging...erm, even the wireless charger.


According to a break down by PhoneArena, charging from flat to full with the bundled charger takes about 3 hours 3 minutes on the iPhone XS, while the iPhone takes about 3 hours 29 minutes -- findings PhoneArena reviewer Daniel Petrov described as "borderline criminal."

Despite the heavy price of these devices, their charging speed still lag behind cheaper Android rivals from LG and OnePlus.

"With most android phones, I can plug in my phone,take a shower and know that i have enough battery to get me several more hours of battery life," Todd Haselton of CNBC said. "With the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, unless I use a bigger charger like the one included with the iPad, I don;t get the same experience."

Apple however, came out with a lame excuse for its decision to make a tiny charger. The Cupertino company said its reason for opting for a tiny charger was because her customers preferred it to larger ones due to its portable nature which makes it easy to be carried about.

Iphone X Explodes After Being Upgraded To Ios 12.1

An iPhone X user has been left in shock after his Apple device exploded when he upgraded his OS to iOS 12.1.

The iPhone X user, Rahel Mohammad, took to Twitter and reported the issue to Apple as he shared several images of the burnt device.

Mohammad said in the tweet that the phone got hot and exploded in the process of upgrading to iOS 12.1.

Speaking with Gadget 360, Mohammad explained that he bought the device this year in January and have been using it without issues. However, when he was running an OS upgrade to iOS 12.1, he plugged the Apple device to the Apple charger that came with it.

At a later stage, "dark grey smoke started coming from the phone," Mohammad said. "The update was completed and as soon as the phone turned on it started to smoke and caught fire."

Immediately, he unplugged the phone from the charger and attempted to pick it up, but the device was very hot and he was forced to toss it aside.

"When i held the phone it was very hot and i drop the phone immediately. Then it started to smoke," Mohammad told Gadget 360.


As earlier mentioned, Mohammad said that he was using the official charger that came out of the box with the device -- which is the 30 watt USB-C power adapter and lightning cable manufactured by Apple.

Pictures shared on Twitter by Mohammad shows the iPhone X with a scorched display and a shattered glass at the back.

A tweet from Apple's support division in response to Mohammad read: "That's definitely not expected behavior. DM us, so we can look into this with you."

Mohammad said he has sent the iPhone over to Apple for close inspection of the cause of the explosion.

There several things can make a device to explode. However, one of the major fault seems to arise as a result of a faulty battery as seen with the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 device. Apple too have recorded several devices that have exploded in the past, however, since the launch of the iPhone X, its a rare occurrence to come across news of exploding iPhone X devices.
